So the storm of the month wreaked havoc with my herbs. (But it did not keep me from going to the annual WFMU record fair in NYC!) I frantically tried to unearth sage, lemon balm, cilantro, chives and others. Had to dig out two tomatoes from under the snow. Can't even find the pimpernel and others. The lavender is smooshed... Smacked myself in the face when pulling bush branches up from under the snow.... I had to cut all the amaranth and start drying it. Excited to have my own homegrown grain. Tasted a couple of pieces and it was yummy!
The tiredness today turned into a migraine so no working in the garden when I arrived home. Of course, like a fool, I tried to read. My brain pounded back furiously. So I gave in, closed the magazine and napped with Millie.
Yesterday was a relative success regarding Halloween. There were a few kids who braved the steep hill to come to the house - one group was driven by their mother - and hubby was delighted. I, on the other hand, was busy with a little pumpkin named Lucy. The cute one came by all dressed up! If allowed, I would post pictures of her, but they will remain my secret. I dressed up as a brand new Beseler 23cIII enlarger in the box - every photographer's dream! At least I thought it was funny! The hunt is on for next year's costume.... a hint: my favourite Winnie-the-Pooh character....
