The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

I like it All! Bong rips,joints,pipes,chillums,vape,edibles,wax,hash,shatter....what's NOT to like! They all work for me and they all have a different benefit to me.
 
I would love to be able to vape. Haven't tried it yet, and the only reason is cost. On my limited income I'd have to save for two years and hope there wasn't a point when that stash had to go to food money. Kind of an impossible goal out here on the financial edges of society, but it's a goal, and I have a habit of making my goals materialize, so in its right time.

I prefer to eat my meds. I find the edible high to be more level, carrying me at a higher level and over a much longer span than smoking ever did. The idea of actually being able to fully distinguish the favors of the strains fascinates me. Maybe it's time to start that savings fund. I'll be 62 on the 8th. I think it might be a sweet present to myself to commit to that vaporizer and actually start saving for it. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

And I'm with Llama - I like to get high. Any mode works for me. Hahaha!

I just ate my last brownie, and there's nothing to make any more with until I harvest next. Here I am again, at that "lull" we all love so dearly. :laughtwo: I have a small smokable quantity that may last a couple days if I let it, which I might not, because we all know you get down to the tiny bits and the brain says "f**k it, smoke it all, let it rip".

Rather than rush something into use I'd prefer to take the next plant on its timeframe and have some ready for my birthday. I haven't been completely without now for a few months. That was a good run, and if I weren't so fond of my current med levels, I'd have more left, but oh well. :laughtwo: There's a tent full cooking away. I get to practice patience, one of those attributes I'm least fond of.

It's funny, because my best friend and I were just talking about how everything in life happens at its right time. We were laughing at how I understand that concept, and accept it as a fundamental truth, but me being me, I'm still going to push at it to see if I can still get it to happen yesterday. It just that once I've accepted the inevitability of something I want to get on with it already.

I did that with Dale. I waited, and waited, and waited for him to see who I was, to accept my inevitable place by his side. At one point, as he was preparing to accept an offer of a ride home for the night I simply couldn't tolerate his feet-dragging any more, so right there in front of the woman who introduced us to each other, I turned, looked him straight in the eye and said "stay". That was it. That's what it took. Me being the one twisting in the wind, completely exposed.

I can't tell you how frightened I was that he'd say no, how terrified I was that he'd stay. I got 35 passionate years out of that daring move. Life is all about risk........Huh, maybe that message out of the blue the other day was for me.


Somewhere around here there's a tent I haven't been into yet. :laughtwo:
 
Crap! I forgot I promised to accompany my daughter to her PCPs appointment today, so I won't get into the tent until much later, if at all. Hmmmm..... I still have to shop for the feast too. Rats!! Personal responsibility interfering with quality gardening time. What's wrong with the staff in that Office of Universal Balance, Joy Division?

Ahhh..... They just told me the idea was to find joy in all things. They also gently reminded me that a day without my shadow wouldn't stunt anyone's growth.

I reminded them I have two weeks and two days until Ultimate Harvest. I swear, the entire Universe smiled indulgently and asked, in the sweetest voice, "Did you hear what you just said? Go back and read your previous post." but by then I was already laughing at my own relentless pushing against the timelines. :laughtwo:

My best friend gently offered this morning that being around me is sometimes akin to being caught in a loving whirlwind. It's a whirlwind she can't wait to stand next to again. See? The girl gets me. :Love: We're counting the days like schoolgirls.

Since I can't garden I might as well write. I have some thoughts on how the language we choose may affect the body's ability to heal itself. I've come to this through my interest in oil as a healing aid. My intent was to start digging into the research, plan the grows for oil production, produce my own oil and begin using it, hoping also to be able to get my daughter started.

As I'm starting into the research stage I'm suddenly thinking about belief systems and language. We have so much emotion wrapped up in our words that we don't often consider, and most of us don't give much thought to the true weight of our chosen inner language. When you're dealing with something like cancer those choices suddenly become much more relevant.

That connection between our belief system, the language we choose to use with ourselves and the effect on the body's natural ability to achieve homeostasis has always fascinated me, and that's the path lit up in my brain. I'm not certain where on the site would be the most appropriate room to carry on that conversation. That's probably where I should start, isn't it? Let me swing through the coffee shop first and go check out the off topic neighborhood.

:ciao:

For your time away from your garden, I suggest 1,500 words per day of a first draft until the book is done.

If you would like an amateur editor, ANY genre, I have had good luck sharing through Google Drive.
 
Made it home. :yahoo:

Just an incredibly beautiful shot of the Afghani that kinda made itself. Hope you enjoy. :battingeyelashes:

I still like Llama's description of a "muppet on crack" the best. :rofl: You guys have paid attention. How sweet.

I read this to my daughter and she shook her head approvingly. This sounds like excellent advice, my friend, and I believe it may be the perfect time to begin that project. I'll take you up on that suggestion. I mean, at some point a writer must begin to write.
 
I didn't even make the connection. :laughtwo: I'm so glad you all enjoy the ride as much as I have. :circle-of-love:
 
Jamaican Dream (Day 78)We have two weeks and two days to let her go, and tomorrow she gets her first CAT. :yahoo:

I'm crisping the hell out of the leaves on the main cola. I'd considered lifting the lights, but I only have so much time to get the most out of her and those toasted leaves make her think she's in danger of dying, causing her to pump out trichomes.

Trichomes like these. :cheesygrinsmiley:

I love this plant. She's working so hard to make me happy, and she takes the abuse with such grace. What's not to love? :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:

 
Backbuilding the Buds: Carnival (Day 133)

It's been 10 days since I clipped the tops of the three buds on Carnival. I believe this evidence appears to back up Light Addict's contention that the technique does indeed beef up the buds. What do you think?

image4099.jpeg


I think it's obvious that the top one was the one I trimmed. All three clipped colas look like this one, with the definitive barrel shape you should anticipate with backbuilding. It might be a technique to consider in the future, eh?



 
I have more posting to do, but I also have a meditation to transcribe. This has been the most transformative of the meditation experiences that I've participated in yet, and I don't want to miss out on the end. I'll be back at it in about an hour. :Love:
 
Hey Sweetsue!!! Happy Pre-Thanksgiving to you!!!! and Happy 420'th page!!!!

That carnival looks amazing!!! and loving how that Jamaican dream's structure looks!!! Hope all is well!!!
