Almost a week since the last post. I think I’ve spent my year’s quota of heat and sunshine. Thanks California, it was a wonderful Indian Summer. The weather this week turned a little nastier – a hint perhaps of the impending winter. It’s back to being chilly (~10°C) in the day (especially where I live – we wake up to a fog footed Mt Davidson) and much to most parents’ dismay it will rain tomorrow making Halloween wet and disgusting.
It’s a good thing I’m not trick-or-treating.
So yesterday, in the last couple of hours of warm sunshine of October, I planted all my spring bulbs. Bulbs are my new experiment, but it’ll take till Spring for me to actually see anything, which is a little bit annoying. Anyway, I had some tulips, crocuses and hyacinths planted. I originally portioned out a bed in the backyard for them, but on second thought I don’t think the ground was right. So they all went into containers. Good thing about containers is that I can move them around. I’m not really sure how they’ll turn out, or if it’s going to be crowded in there, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I mixed some of the tulips with crocuses, just so it won’t get boring in the containers, and to keep the possibility of giving them away as gifts as they sprout. And for some, I just kept them in jars so I can see what’s happening. I’ve a few more bulbs to plant, so I’ve to make a trip to the nursery to get some potting mix. Should be fun.
Also making good progress on a piece of knitting. Funny how I get more done when I list out things to do for the day.
