OK...so the weekend is over and it's time to get serious again.....yeah right! Like a Monday ever made me get serious again! Actually, Monday is the second day of the week by the calender, so if I was going to ever get serious about a new week, it should be on Sunday....ain't gonna happen!
It would be nice to say that I had wonderful things planned for this week, but the truth is.....more of the same is on tap....the usual.....same shit, different day. Which in reality, is not really so bad. I can think of 1000 ways in which things could be worse. So, the status quo is not always so bad, when taken into context with the whole "Good VS Evil" thing! Despite my complaining, whining, wishing and dreaming, I live a pretty damn good life.
My beautiful sweetcorn ( ok, I know it may seem weird to be so enthused about corn, but it really is something I look forward to each summer and something that I've always taken more than just a little pride in raising) has rebounded from the flattening windstorm, beyond my wildest expectations. It stood back up so well, that one can hardly even tell that 11 days ago, it was flat on the ground. Large ears, with delicate white silks have now formed and the pollination process is in full swing. It won't be long until those little beauties will be ready for picking and eating! Another good inch of rain would be helpful right now....I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The raspberries are coming on strong too. I picked a pretty good sized pan full last night, with more to mature in the next few days. Is there much better than fresh red raspberries over New York vanilla ice cream in this world? I think not!
This just happens to be one of those mornings, when my coffee tastes particularly good....I see another mug full in my immeditate future. This afternoon, I'm getting outside to give my new camera lens a workout. It should be fun and hopefully productive.
