The neverending story

This is the story that mimi made up and told to me today. She wanted to type on the computer so i just had her tell me a story and i typed it up for her and printed it out. this is the story:

Mimi Wanted to Do Some Work Just Like Her Mama.

Mimi wanted to draw a picture and mommy said, “you can draw.’ And Mimi said, “but I don’t know how to draw.” And then Mimi decided to paint. But painting was not easy. It was boring. And then Mimi had an idea. Mimi went to ask her dad if she could help him rake the leaves. But it wasn’t easy either. So she tried to think of another idea. So she tried to build a rocket ship and flew into space. There were aliens in space. The aliens were so bored. Mimi helped the aliens make some crafts. They all made crafts together. But it wasn’t easy to do, either. And then Mimi had a super idea. Mimi thought of climbing a beanstalk. That was fun. And the beanstalk grew taller and taller and taller. And it grew so much that it grew into a flower. And then the beanstalk shrank down into the ground. And then Mimi went back to her home and the beanstalk grew again. And then the beanstalk shrank shorter and shorter and shorter. And then Mimi had to drink hot chocolate. Then the beanstalk grew again and then it shrank again. And then Mimi had some MORE chocolate and there was no more milk. Mommy tried to wash Mimi but there was no more water. Mommy tried to blow dry her hair but the dryer was broken. Then Mommy had an idea. She brushed Mimi’s hair. Then it was just perfect. Then Mimi flew back into space to the aliens. And then the aliens said Bye to Mimi. Then they all went home together.
The End.

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Growing Things

 it's crazy how long it's been since the last time i blogged here.  i spend so much time on insta and facebook, this blog has been largely ignored.  i'm on my second year of gardening and have been trying to maintaining a physical gardening log and failed at several attempts.  So i think this may be my best bet.  So here's the first gardening entry! Today is March 29th, 2022. Temps today were unseasonably cold and have been for the past three days.  Todays high temp was 47F and the low tonight will be 22F.  But should warm to the low 70s tomorrow.    This crazy cold and heavy winds yesterday blew down several daffodils.  many are leaning but upright enough that i left them and only pruned the ones that were knocked to the ground.
