Dandelyon's Worlds

The roses are putting out their first spring leaves and the lilacs have put out their first leaf buds. A few of the pea plants are peeking out above the ground.

But I have been mostly ignoring the garden, because I gave in to temptation when we needed to find an open post office, and it was in the same strip mall as a soon-to-close JoAnn Fabrics. Having gotten two luggage pieces for books and paints, it occurred to me that another one, for lyric sheets, would be really handy. I went to one yesterday, and got a couple of things, but the only sewing-machine sized bags they had were made from fabric I didn't like. So I tried again today. The first two I tried today had none, but the third one did. A lot of driving, and one lost plastic mask insert (drat), followed by a quick grocery stop because I was just a few blocks from the store I get my avocado oil potato chips and seed-base crackers from. I got some cheese and yogurt and fruit too.

Today, the story channel is showing The World After People, which explores the thought experiment, "What if all people disappeared one day?" and looks at what will happen to our buildings, our cities, our vehicles, our power plants, our pets and livestock, and all the rest of the planet. They go around and interview experts on various things, and have some fabulous videos and special effects showing what they imagine things will look like at various times (from one day to centuries) after all the people disappeared. I'd love to have a copy of this series on CD or digital.

But I did water the tomato and pepper plants, and I now have a few potato seedlings, since I cut well-developed eye-clusters off tomatoes when I was making stew, and put them into dirt inside as well. I have to figure out where to grow them outside!

The antibiotics are doing their thing, thank goodness. I'm really tired of the taste, but on the other hand, my stomach is doing quite well. I am very pleased about having a doctor who actually pays attention to the "no corn in my pills!" directive.

And now I'm heading to bed. See you around, I hope!
