Aerogarden 1 mo update
Has it only been a month? The progress on the aerogarden plants have been pretty good. I've already harvested basil for a couple of meals and drying. I ordered a set of small storage glass jars for herb and maybe flower drying. I continually harvest cilantro.
Out of a total of 7 pods times 2 (14) I have the following:
5 - Basil
6 - Cilantro

2020 Garden Season Ramping Up
This season is looking to be one of the biggest for me since my community garden days. One of the more reasuring things though, is that a lot of what I'm planning on doing, I've already done. A few things I'm trying new, but for the most part, I plan on exercising some past activities.
AEROGARDENS I have 2 of these and a wall mount that I never ( Read more... ) -
2017 Eclipse Experience
A week ago, we prepared to embark on a road trip to Kentucky to visit family and experience the upcoming Eclipse in totality. We had a parking space reserved in Hopkinsville, KY at the Western Kentucky County Fairgrounds. We also reserved an SUV rental, for the capacity (5 people and some gear) and new-car-amenities. The first stop was Louiseville ( Read more... ) -

Portrait Fun
So some grad students were doing a fundraiser on campus by snapping "portraits for your linkedin account." I made an appoint for 2 shots ($5/each). As the first one to arrive, I discovered that they didn't know how to use the digital SLR they borrowed, that the autofocus function was broken, and the camera was set to ISO 16000, 1/50 shutter, and f8 ( Read more... ) -
J's Running Strategy
Jana and her teammate, Miniya are two diverse running strategists. Miniya pretty much starts out at one pace, and goes. It's like, instant on and she's fast. Jana likes to start at the end of the pack, one-by-one, she works to pass runners. It creates a heck of a dramatic effect and leads to an awful lot of yelling and cheering at the Finish line ( Read more... ) -
Playing in the Dirt Today
Wore shorts for the first time this year, and played in the dirt for a little bit. Cleaned up the shared bed area between us and a neighbor. And then planted some seeds, nothing special, just seeds from the Dollar Store.

On the fun side from today...
J had to bring a list of 4 songs to her bass teacher today that she'd like to learn to play: "Come with Me Now," "Beat It," "Another One Bites the Dust," and "Under Pressure." I'm good with this list. -
Grad School Orientation
Attended my MSIT grad school orientation tonight. There are at least 7 of us in the part-time MSIT program. And I seem to be the only female.
Looking forward to the start of class, more so than I thought I would. -
USATF Regionals
J ran the 1500 in about 7 min, her PR is 6:18. She ran the first half in about 2:48 and her PR for the 800 is 3:04. When she ran the 1st of 4 laps in 1:14, I knew that was too fast. "Mom, this was my warm up for the 800." That's a heck of a warm up.
