The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

Daily Update:Perpetual Tent - Week 7

Slept in until 7:30, awakened by the sun streaming across my bed, taking a moment to appreciate the tiny rainbows sprinkled on the walls and ceilings from the crystals sitting in the window well over the balcony door. One of the sweeter things about this apartment is the fabulous light we get. It was one of my major reasons for choosing it.

Oh, yeah - I have no schedules to keep anymore! Hopped right out of bed and into the tent. I don't remember unzipping quite that quickly before! Hahaha!

Ahhhhhh........ That's better.

I'm going to get my house in order and focus on paying attention to my plants again. I've missed being here. *sigh*

Deep breath Girl, and open that balcony door. Let this Cheese Candy get some natural rays. I always appreciate the chance to get pictures in natural light.

The kit girls are ready for inspection.

The African Buzz, short and solid. It's going to be so interesting to start the next cycle and get it right, from the beginning, and not be playing catch-up. I'm learning a lot though, so no real complaints.

I'm looking forward to watching Auto Destroyer fill out. I always look at them at this point and think "no way will this explode into something breathtaking", and every plant proves me wrong. :laughtwo:

A quick look at the interior.

Auto Jock Horror x Auto Amnesia is right up there in the lights, so we need to adjust.

I removed the SWICK tray, since it won't be used for this stage anyway. That gave me more headroom under the lights.

The meter suggests it's too dry in here. I slipped the SWICK tray I'd just removed under the bottom shelf or the rack and filled it with water. Let's see if that helps bring me into more acceptable readings.

I picked up some small fans to hang from above when things get crowded in here. Oooo, look at that - I'm planning on crowded. :laughtwo:

Now, my goal is to have this area cleared and set up for foliars, drenches, teas, etc. by tomorrow.

Hoarders do NOT live here! I'm almost certain of it.

Hey - it's a beautiful day. Get out there and spread some joy! :laughtwo: :green_heart:

:Namaste:


That felt really, really good. I love what I do. :Love:
 
I do believe you may be the strongest woman I have ever had the honor of knowing.... May God wrap you in his healing arms and make this road as easy as possible... I can't imagine the emotions you must be feeling nor do I know the words to even begin to make it better but please know if there is anything you need or that I can possibly do for you that I am just a keystroke away....:hugs:.....:circle-of-love:

Dennise, I am so touched. :Love: Considering how much I admire your own strength of character I am humbled.
 
Doing quite well, all things considered Cajun. :Love:

Proving to BAR that hoarders do NOT live here, just a disheveled and distracted gardener. :laughtwo:

It's a start. He has a lot of small power tools under that workbench that I no longer need. So much to go through. The trick is finding good homes for it all. :hmmmm:

Anybody collect trains?
 
They spoiled me at hospice. After four months of vagabond living I've forgotten how to cook. It's been 36 years since I cooked for one. I better get it together before I starve. :laughtwo:
 
That left me with a sweet sense of satisfaction, of moving forward.

After the medical equipment guys haul away the bed and oxygen equipment I'm going to take another leisurely river stroll. Maybe hit Starbucks for some overpriced coffee beforehand. Then treat myself to salad bar for dinner. Shop for groceries tomorrow.

Yeah. Sounds good.
 
Just taking it all in stride... very Sue. :) You're amazing. I'm so happy to see you moving forward and getting out of limbo. Now that death is over you can make more life and joy in your 'dash', and it seems like you're a natural at that. :Love:

LOL, I was wondering about all the food talk and then I remembered that they aren't bringing you delicious meals 3 times a day anymore. :laughtwo:
 
Unconditional love is a powerful force SoilGirl. He married a flighty, aggressive young woman he saw me inside of, and then he very lovingly led me to where you find me. Very akin, I must say, to what many of you do with your plants. :laughtwo: Duggan and Graytail spring most quickly to mind. They've both tackled rambunctious charges. LOL!! So it appears I was grown by my own Master, and I think he did a good job. I'm pretty happy with who I am, in great part to that unconditional love thing he had going.

Where did you think I learned that? What a man. He actually enjoyed my intensity. :laughtwo: Made him laugh watching everyone else try to deal with it. He never had any problem with me being me. What a great testimony to who he was.:Love:
 
Yes Sue....your right on the money girl....you sound very fortunate to have had the same person love you for so many happy yrs. I've bin legally married twice and lived with another for 6 yrs. Now I've finally found the one I want and she wants me , so , hopefully the both of us can thrive with each other like you and your Dale did. Cheers girl....now get that cookbook out ...or just ask Ziggs....:circle-of-love:
 
The first time you get married, I recommend introducing her to your friends as "my first wife".
They love it. Trust me. :cheesygrinsmiley:
 
It just struck me that I have no responsibilities at this point other than keeping myself alive. No appointments to make, no running out for the bus, nowhere at all that I have to be tomorrow. Nowhere at all. That's just now sinking in.

I think I'll take a few days to begin getting my house back in order. Hoarders don't live here. I'm sure of it. :laughtwo: You'd never know that by looking around though. Let's see how long it takes me get it under control and be able to breathe freely here again. Who'd have thunk the idea of cleaning house could have such joyful appeal? It's all in the perspective.

"I could hold you forever ...." Oops! Lost in the music. :laughtwo:

Plants look great but you said you're NOT a hoarder... :laughtwo:

Who loves Ya Baby? We do!

You go, Girl!

Nearly brought a tear to my eye.
 
Well, that was nice to wake up to. :Love:

My body's still worn down enough I keep nodding off. :laughtwo:

Now for that river walk and some food. Mmmmmmm.
 
Waiting for a seat at our favorite restaurant, hoping for one on the veranda so I can watch the river run (told them I'm willing to wait - I have no schedule to follow :blushsmile: )

Had a nice walk along the river. Sat for a while to just watch the current slip by and posted shots on my Spot while listening to a sweet ukulele music video Buckshot shared on another thread. That really helped. It reminded me that I gave up my morning power walk along the river two and a half years ago when he started dialysis because I didn't feel comfortable leaving the house while he was still hooked up, and it works best for me as a power walk at sunrise.

There's no reason for me not to start doing that tomorrow morning is there? Geez, that feels wonderful to consider. Those walks were one of the highlights of my days. I hated giving them up.

Susan reclaimed. :battingeyelashes:

Spoiled me rotten there. Hahaha!!

I had a friend tell me today I'm glowing. LOL!! I guess I am at that. Dale would be proud. :cheesygrinsmiley:
