Lately I have been thinking about preparations. I need to
prepare for this, for that. Today I researched dutch ovens, thinking that I
should prepare for winter. It is 104 degrees here today and I am thinking of
the cold. Last week all I could think about was autumn. Trying to remember
exactly when it starts to cool down here. End of October, middle of November?
There is a heat here that lingers into the winter months. Not really allowing
the winter months the glory of freezing air. I wonder what other preparations I
should make. Maybe I should buy some herbs for the patio. Use that south facing
sun to grow what needs to be grown. Then I can dry the herbs in a certain
fashion to preserve for the winter. You know, when I am using my dutch oven to
make stews that call for various herbs. I guess I will need to be strategic
with the selection of herbs. That involves planning. Planning vs preparation.
Hmmm.
I am in the middle of doing a mini patio make-over. Today I
created a sketch of what I would like it to look like.
On the other side of the piece of paper I made a list of items to purchase.
Lanterns (of various sizes) to place next to the laundry room
