It's been a busy few weeks with getting the garden prepped, then ready, then adding compost, then making rows and then trying to figure out where to put the DaM plants and seeds. It seems I run out of space faster each year. Which is odd considering I'm only feeding two (humans, not going to get into the animals, figuring that out would take forever) instead of four. Mind you, the kids come home from university fairly regularly and I tend to ply them with food to take home so that could have something to do with it. Running out of space and running out of time pretty much marks this time of year for me.
Thankfully, the busy time is winding down from a Cat.5 Hurricane to a little dirt devil. It's manageable; I can actually do everything I plan to do in a day now. So I decided to have a little fun and kill half an hour by giving Dolly a makeover. She changes every year, as I add and take away things that get worn, lost or taken. The big changes this year are eyes instead of sunglasses and stuffed blue hands instead of floppy white ones. Last year her picture ended up in our local newspaper with the caption of being "unique". I'm glad I took the time and had a little fun, now I'll have someone to talk to while I'm weeding in the garden. Oh, and of course, any resemblance to fictional or real characters is not intended and purely coincidental.
