Lots And/Or Little Going On

     Either lots or very little have happened here as of late, I'm not sure which.
The first thing is I've decided to quit complaining about the pain in my knees, feet, back or wherever hurts the most at any given moment. I'm going to start thanking God for my aches and pains. I've worked 57 years to get them and they remind me bot only am I still alive but I've got all my original pieces and parts, save tonsils and adenoids which were removed some 40 years ago.

     The second thing is I've been distributing the truckload of sand to where it is most needed in the front and back yards. It still  hasn't fully dried so some 10 to 12 wheelbarrow loads are about all I can manage in one day.

     I'm still putting seeds in the ground in my raised bed gardens. I almost waited too long to buy okra seeds. I went to at least 3 different stores looking and finally found one packet at where other than the store where I work. I'll make sure to let a few pods of my crop go to seed so I'll have plenty next year.

     One 6' x 6' raised bed is dedicated to herbs this year and hopefully most of the plants will spread, be fruitful and multiply. I'm gonna make another bed of the Native American "Three Sisters"... that is, corn, beans and squash. As I understand, they planted corn first. After it sprouted to give the beans something to climb on, they planted the beans. Lastly, they planted the squash to shade the ground to stop weeds from growing. Hey, I like corn, beans and squash (not all in one pot)!
