What did you do in the garden today?

[Smokerbill]

Well Hank Williams recorded jambalaya - which I've already mentioned - before I was born, for instance, but I've been known to enjoy earlier music as well. And I do get warm fuzzies when I hear a slide guitar or a fiddle playing.

What I don't care for is much of what they try to pass off as country in the last couple of decades. Few and far between are worth listening to. YMMV

I agree. Steel guitar gets to me, in a good way. And most anything from the Possum, George Jones. New stuff is way too commercial.

I listen to world radio.

I watered today. You guys talking about good country "old" music, made me get out the acoustic and practice "family tradition" by Hank Jr.

Carrots are really starting to come up now. Not enough to take a photo of, you wouldn't be able to tell anything yet, but I can see em. . Once you can actually see rows, I'll take a photo.

Realized that my garden sprinkler timer turned off for the season. Things were getting really wilty. Usually we are cool enough and getting a bit of rain this time of the season. So I don't have to water and my automated Rachio is set as such. I will manually run the cycle as needed now that I realize what happened.

This weekend the rest of the garlic will go in. I'm very excited.

Today will be taken up with hubby's dental appointment. When we get back, I'll see what I feel like doing outside.

Anyone else dreading the Fall Back time change? It'll be getting dark at 5:30. I really wish we would pick one, either Daylight Saving or Standard, and stop changing the clocks twice a year.

Did not sleep well. I feel rough. I think I will rest today. Afternoon appointment.

My vote is for standard time as nature made it. My Senator, OTOH, likes DST.

I vote for Standard Time year 'round and not having to go outside at 10PM in the summer to put the chickens to bed. 9PM would be a little more reasonable.
