It was a good weekend all around. I got some 'stuff' done around the house, which makes me feel useful and fulfilled as a husband and homeowner. I like to get something done around the house on the weekend or I just don't feel like I've done my part, you know? It's actually hard for me to take the weekend off and just chill out. It's even hard for me to do a day trip. I like to work. I like to accomplish stuff. It makes me feel good.

So, anyway, I got the plants in and set them up in the basement. This will be the first time I've tried to winter the anuals to see if they'll make it to next spring. I usually just buy new flowers each year, but this year I brought 'em inside to see if they'll survive. I had to hang some chains up and prepare a place for the ones that just sit around. I left the light on and set the temp to 45%. Hopefully, that will keep them alive. If not, it's back to the greenhouse in the spring. All of this stuff is new to me so I'm experimenting.

I love to work in the yard now. It's another creative outlet for me. This year I added Elephant Ears to the back yard and they really did great, mostly because we had a lot of rain. They're supposed to die back on their own and come back next year. I hope so, because I love them. As long as you give them water they thrive.

Not much else on my mind today,,,
