My daughter was home for a visit, my husband had a birthday (thank you to everyone who left comments wishing him a happy day) and my Etsy shops are keeping me extremely busy - blah blah blah. I might be kind of checking out for good soon, I sway back and forth and that decision so much it makes me dizzy.
It seriously takes me about 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, to keep my shops stocked, fill orders and get my shipments out. Other than eating breakfast and playing a few games of Racko with Andrew Henry, I just don't get to any thing else - forget dinner, I almost never get to that. I don't know how you all do it. I can get posts together, no problem. It's the getting to visit all of your blogs that I just can't seem to manage much anymore and we all know that this blogging world is a tit for tat kind of place so my comments are drying up - so are my plants. Speaking of drying up, it's still 99 degrees outside as I type this at 7:00 p.m.!
For example...
Another poor dead plant. It didn't survive our summer, heck I almost didn't survive our summer. I didn't even notice it was begging for attention and now it's gone. I don't feel good about it. I've got this one on its last leg as well...
To be fair, this one got infested with agave beetles. There is a remedy but it involves digging a trench around the outside of the plant and blah blah, honestly they lost me at "digging". I decided I should not play mother nature. I mean, I would be saving the plant, but depriving the agave beetle of a food source. Who am I to make that choice? It's survival of the fittest right?
Okay, I admit it - it was about the digging of the trench. If I don't have time to blog or stop to eat dinner, I really don't have time to dig a darn trench. Long live the agave beetle.
