Goodbye Garden

[rosegardenfae]

Finished putting the garden to bed yesterday. A bit of kale and chard left in the raised beds, but if it doesnt rain thst will soon die. Looks tidy, but barren out back.

Today's plans are to work on the clearing for the hottub out front. Might happen. The sun is shining and Trent is home from school to help. He was a great assistant yesterday,

Depression comes easily right now, for me anyway. Heartbreaking news, every day.

Whatcha reading? Watching?

(I thought Hubs Cancer was something your mother had!) Until I read Miss Mallorys comment. That must be a heavyweight on you right now. Yikes)

Even without watching the news, I still hear too much and it is difficult to ignore the state of the world.

Still following Martha Gellhorn around, this time in a collection of her war reports plus Caleb Carr's follow up to "The Alienist," titled "Angel of Darkness."

TV, hah, I watch about 10 minutes of most things before moving on. Found myself caught in a documentary on Netflix, "Rotten," detailing the origins of food production and the horrors surrounding it. I may never eat another avocado. Obviously this did not help the depression. But did get caught up on "A Million Little Things," which wasn't too bad.I should probably watch comedy and did try "Shameless" recommended by my daughter. Not awful, pretty raunchy. William Macy portrays an interesting character. There is a British version I want to check out.

Oh, and perverse though it might be, I chuckled at the Hubs cancer mixup.

I know it's not easy right now, but I hope you do find the drive to create something <3

Thanks sweetie, I'll be fine. October is more than half gone after all.

You buried the lede there, girlfriend.

Hub's cancer diagnosis?

I know you have ambivalent feelings about the hub, but that is major.

I am sending you many good thoughts. Wish I had an escapist fiction recommendation for you, but I am reading a true financial thriller called Billion Dollar Whale: The Man Who Fooled Wall Street, Hollywood, and the World, which I don't think you'd like at all.

No doubt buried on purpose, didn't really mean to blubber all over the page, but it did help break through the dismal murkies. All that was nearly 30 years ago, you would think I'd be over it. He did, after all, survive unlike B.

Your book sounds like a good doorstop lol. Financial thriller. Is that really a genre?

[mallorys_camera]

Yeah. Michael Lewis helped popularize it with books like Liar's Poker and The Big Short. I was an econ major in college, so it's right up up my alley.😀

I learn a lot from you. And wow we are so different: English Lit major, Women's Studies minor, but I didn't go to college till I was 40.
