Breakfast in the jardin
Another pleasant morning, another petit dejeuner in the garden. I’ve got nice clothes on this AM (for a meeting) so I didn’t have a chance to get LInda’s arugula seeds in, but maybe we’ll get a break on fatigue this PM, and can get to that.
Still wobbly, but we got with our oncology nurses at […]
Breakfast in the garden
We’d rather be out walking a mile or so, but the steroids, I think, have produced a rather more wobbly me than I’d like as of this AM, so we opted for breakfast in the garden, instead. I really need the crew at UCSF to help me figure out a balance between enough steroids to […]
The weekend wrap
Yesterday, sweet daughter-in-law Julie stoppred on her way home from work and took me on a Trader Joe’s run (TJs being a very favorite store). Many delicacies came home. Indeed, previously, spouse Linda had brought ingredients for a Friday night dinner (she had a church affair to attend) of sausages and peppers.
It so happens that […]
Baby tomatoes
Baby green tomatoes greeted me in dotcom garden this morning, harbingers of summer tomato salads to come, I hope. We also have a bumber crop of red and green leaf lettuce, and should be eating fresh salads from the garden for the next few weeks, as well.
Chemo restarted last Friday night - the massive one-week-a-month […]
Quick podcast from Dotcom Garden
It’s quick, but it’s big - 16 MB as a QT file: I see I’m going to have to learn a bunch about audio if I’m going to keep the podcasts up, but that should be fun. I see Adobe has 2 good audio apps, both of which are coming to Mac - and that […]
The Garden
Very busy day today: my last day at Adobe before a 10-day break in France. Given current processing speeds, I got up at 6:00 AM and stayed at my VPNed post, with only a few breaks for a Dr. appt. and food until 9:00 PM. I made most of my meetings (AM, anyway), got a […]
The new ‘perch’
So we dragged ourselves off the 5:46 CalTrain last night after a full (and bit longer) day at work. Yup, we were tired, exhausted, really, but that’s not entirely a bad thing - I did get one project done that’s been ‘hovering’, and advance on a number other fronts. We had promised spouse grilled salmon, […]
On a cheerier note…
The pole beans have runners now, that have just found the bamboo quadripods that will support them. The beans like the heat of recent warm afternoons, and are starting to take off - they will literally begin to ‘grow like a bean’ shortly. We may be seeing blossoms by the time we’re back from France […]
The wind in the garden
It’s a bright, cool today and there’s a brisk breeze blowing as I sit in the garden sipping coffee after a 2-mile (!) walk with Cassie. I realize, looking closely, that my garden is kind of rag-tag compared to past editions, but what the hey. Truth is I’m kind of rag-tag, too.
Friend Kevin McKean is […]
Good tools
These Corona garden tools came home from the Roger Reynolds nursery 2 weeks ago: they’ve been a great help. The long handles mean I can sit on my rolling garden cart and reach the centers of the planting boxes.
The tools are an accomodation to current limitations: they help me get work done more easily than […]
