not-reading wednesday

[boxofdelights]

I am just not reading! I hope I get my reading brain back before Network Effect comes to my mailbox.

I lent some books to the neighbor kids today. Ursula Vernon's Nurk and Kelly Jones's Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer for the nine-year-old. Nova's Ark, by David Kirk, I Spy Treasure Hunt: A Book of Picture Riddles, a pop-up book about bees, and the DK Insect for the five-year-old.

I'm doing okay as long as I tire myself out every day. Fortunately I have a young healthy dog who chews things that should not be chewed if she doesn't get enough exercise, and also I ordered way too many plants, including three lilacs and three buddleias, and I have to finish digging out the old dead hedge before they get here.

The Horticulture department's plant sale is happening online this year. It opens to non-members tomorrow at 7:00. I do not wake up at 7:00, but I will get my shopping list ready tonight.

I did not get any basil! I will get some from the nursery.

OMG I love fresh basil. It is so so yummy.

*crosses fingers for you*

I’m enjoy Network Effect right now but I can’t focus for more than 20 minutes at a time. I think this is one of the drawbacks to reading on my iPad. A distraction is always a simple click away.

Good luck with the plants!

I grew up gardening with my dad but the heat here puts me off.
