Having Poppa home all day every day has been amazing…it has but it has also turned my world upside down and I feel I have completely lost my rhythm. No longer is any specific day laundry day or baking day. Every day is cleaning day and doing whatever project he has decided we are doing that day, day. If that sounds like sour grapes, I don’t mean it to be. It’s just that I feel I really need to get back to what I consider some kind of rhythm.
Usually at this time of year and most of the year, I am in the garden in the morning. Lately, I feel like I have to get all my “chores” done first and so by the time I get out into the garden it is pretty late and I am getting very little done. I do have the cleanest house ever though but the garden…ehh not so much.
My kids decided to jump in with me today and we did get alot of weeding done. As I was weeding around the grapevines growing along the fence I saw this pretty flower bud. I thought, “that looks like a blackberry” but we were at least 50 feet from the blackberry patch.
I pulled out enough weeds so that I found where it started and it looked like it was about 2 feet long. My first thought was to pull it up and put it in the blackberry patch but as I followed the vine I discovered it was taller than me, so we decided that if it grew that much right there in between two veggie beds, maybe we should leave it there. Eddie brought over one of my wrought iron trellises and we trained it around the trellis which will now be its permanent home. Permaculture and me have never really been friends. I have too much need to control where everything grows but I guess this is permaculture and I am OK with it.
