It pays to come to the keyboard daily. I took a day off yesterday and delayed today. Here I am finally with not a word or idea. But it will work out somehow because I can’t publish or share a blank post. My excuse was I was tired and a little off yesterday and still so today. It was easy to give in and lose myself in a John Grisham novel, Gray Mountain. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was an easy to read and hard to put down. I am quite surprised to find so many negative reviews on Goodreads.

I’m not sure taking a day off from my routine was a good idea. I felt more ‘off’ having done so. Routines are so grounding. I’m working to find my way back to them. When I’m feeling lost, I can always find myself in the garden. So that’s where I spent most of today. I have alot of garden. It took most of the morning just watering the tomatoes and squash, filling the 3 raised garden beds in the backyard and 3 in the front. I spent the afternoon watering and weeding the flower beds. Then there’s the greenhouse and the main garden. There’s no lack of work. I enjoy it all once I get started. There is satisfaction seeing the results and a guarantee of a good night’s sleep from the physical labour.
