Well, since yesterday felt like Saturday all day, I'm not quite sure what today feels like. But does it really matter?
Today should be a perfect day for #gardening, with temperatures in the low 70s although a bit breezy. Maybe I'll finally finish my mulch job. I also need to mow the lawn, which I'll do in the afternoon when it's in the shade. And I know there's a problem with the irrigation to some of my aspen trees and need to troubleshoot that.
Today is another day!
Yesterday I got more work done in the garden than I expected to but zero work done in my studio. I think I'm going to start today with more garden work, break at 9 or 10 AM with a shower and a snack, and then get into the studio.
I have a bunch of calls to make to follow up on or set up repairs:
• My truck, which I dropped off on Monday and said "no rush"
• My string mower, which needs a throttle adjustment
• My cargo trailer, which needs bodywork
I'm thinking of taking a morel hunting trip with my pups this morning. It might be a little early, but last year I was definitely too late. My truck is in the shop and my Jeep has eight 2 ft.³ bags of mulch in the back (stored for garden work in a place where it won't get wet; it makes sense to me). That leaves the Honda, which should be fine given that I won't spend much time on gravel roads.
Meanwhile, we're having a colorful cloudy #sunrise.
Feeling much better today. Will get an early start with errands in town. Grocery and garden shopping, a visit to the Toyota dealer to check out the plug-in hybrid RAV4 and Prius, and some banking. Goal is to be home before 10 AM. Then gardening, mow the lawn, and pack my jeep for this weekend's art show in Leavenworth WA.
I'm getting tired just reading this! #KeepMoving #NeverDone

"The distance you travel is decided on your hardest days." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Your worst days will define your best days.
Your biggest mistakes make for your greatest successes.
The moments in which you seem you can barely give it enough will lead you to giving it everything you’ve got.
When it seems everything you are doing can’t make things right, you’ll suddenly find a way.
Those days in which you don’t seem to think you have enough in your tank are quietly recharging your batteries.
Do you sense a theme here?
When I talk about innovation, I constantly point out that the greatest innovators all shared something in common — they failed their way to success.
They got to the top by scraping along the bottom for a time. They only saw wonderful final results after a series of terrible, awful results.
So when those moments of quiet desperation hit, do what everyone has done: pick yourself up, shake it off, and keep moving. because things always come to those who put in the work.
Because the distance you travel is decided on those very days.
(Oh, and before you ask — no, there isn’t anything wrong here! This is just the thought that came to my head as I started my day today!)
