This morning I started writing a nice little post to go with this photo I took in my garden a couple days ago. I was writing about how busy this time of year is in the garden as we head in to winter soon. Not only are we cleaning up the summer abundance, we are also busy planting cool weather flowers and veggies, pre-sprouting corms, and planting bulbs in the southern hemisphere, it’s a lot.
I had foot surgery a few weeks ago and was completely off my feet for two weeks and am still not walking at full capacity. Because of that, I feel like I’m playing catch up in the garden a bit. Today I accomplished so much and was still going when it was starting to get dark outside, but I was motivated! So motivated that I wanted to get just one more tray of seeds sown and ran out to my cute little garden shed tucked in the back corner of our yard to fetch said tray, completely spacing on the fact that a storm was blowing in and I didn’t properly secure the shed door open. The shed door that latches on the outside. The shed door that promptly slammed shut behind me. And of course my phone was in the house. Friends, by the time someone miraculously heard me banging (no it wasn’t anyone in my family realizing I had been missing for a half hour), I was in tears in the dark and I never wanted to fetch something from the shed ever again. Or at least not without my phone in my pocket. 🫣How much do you want to bet Teunis will install a proper door k**b tomorrow?
What a way to end an otherwise excellent day!
