Good Authoring Day to YOU …

… And Happy Saturday to you!

Today is a DIRT day for me … and then cooking with friends in the evening. Dirt meaning 150 cubic feet arrive for the two raised veggie boxes I created for the lower garden … filling the boxes … then await the time I can start with seedlings. first in: ONIONS. Their job, besides being for salads and adds, is to create a barrier for the deer that are often visitors. Deer don’t like onions … and garlic, which will go in this fall to winter and be the first to surface spring 2023.

Now to plan—veggies and flowers to mix. And the feast to come in many months.

It’s Caturday … Today is a new beginning. Winter hasn’t gone … promises of spring are here and planning is needed. Book marketing needs planning and implementation.? Tis a planning forward weekend for lots … books … new ideas … stretching. How about you?

That’s my past week … how about you … what are you up to?
