The process of getting Earthboxes here via FreeCyclers in our area is underway-- it started by our picking up a carload of cardboard boxes for them, ydy, from a source I have, to deliver tomorrow. GOOD boxes, uniform sizes, saved from going to a landfill.

Before we did THAT I had to unload the back of the van Friday. This was after the tests, which were the first thing upon waking after the 3-hour drive back from Harrisburg the night before-- which was half of the round trip that had begun at 6AM. I almost have the front unloaded of stuff from the meeting.... where I decluttered a Diocesan process that had gotten FU-almost- BAR.

Anyway-- when the boxes of dirt come I should have ennough for my immediate container-gardening needs. This includes the unkillable yucca I picked up via FC last fall, which never made it into the ground-- but has been stored in a loose bag behind the kennel. Sans dirt except what had clung to the roots when dug up. It's greening back up (of course), so I stuck it in a bucket of water till I can get a hole dug by Dog World.

The back porch sitting area is shaping up, surrounded by nestlings, tho it is slowed down each day for some much-needed staring/sitting time. Each day I go out there, I do a few little things. Today it was setting up cushions the dogs had chewed last year in DW, on the chair I decided to move up to the porch for company. (That chair also moved Friday, as did one from the front porch.)

Today's staring time also included thinking about who the "company" ought to be, and widening the circle a bit.

The AM was spent decluttering the camera that had recorded some cool stuff yesterday at two outlying parishes, and others from a cool Diocesan meeting Thursday. Plus correspondence to the latter, to show them how a montage works, and to gain their OK to make one of the meeting.

That led to the need to update a few of the recent montages so they can see a good sample of what the medium can do.

I decluttered some other area parochial relationships yesterday and this AM as well-- major roadblocks vanished.


I'm bushed, and I don't mean yucca! :~) Nyuk nyuk nyucca.
