Don’t forget! This evening, over on my channel, I’ll be chatting live at 7:30 pm EST. I’ve been told the most reliable way to remember is to click the notification bell when you subscribe to the channel. Up to you – if you follow that link you will find all the older videos I’ve done. Hah. Older for values of ‘I’ve been doing this a month, now.’
I’m really enjoying it, too. I’ve been thinking about ways to have someone else on with me. Like Jimmie, my collaborator for One Hungry Werewolf. I think a conversation about the making of that book would be a blast, and some of you all might enjoy it, too. I have also been thinking about cooking videos. I’ve been asked for such a thing over the years, many times. I’ve hesitated because, well, it’s a saturated market. I don’t have a beautiful kitchen, it’s workmanlike. Although the current kitchen is better than ones in the past that were utilitarian with… allowances.
Anyway, it’s all a work in progress. Including, evidently, a garden. The Little Man presented me with plans, yesterday, for growing in his bedroom under the window. I talked him through some of the potential issues inherent in having a large tray full of dirt and water near his servers (calculate the weight, kid. Base it on water. Show your work…) When I got home, we talked more, and then I introduced him to the joy of seed catalogs! He had been looking at Amazon for packets of seeds (which was ridiculous for pricing) and I handed him a couple of catalogs and a highlighter. Some time later, we pared down the wishlist and I actually ordered what he wanted. I had a moment, doing that. How many garden dreams have I built, like castles in the air, only to have them fall down again? I can’t count, but as many as I have years in my life. I need to rectify that.
It’s a matter of time. I haven’t got it. He doesn’t, either, although he thinks he does. He plans to get a job as soon as he turns 16, in early July. The planned garden won’t even be fully grown!
And I am going to wander off, now. I’ll see you on Youtube tonight!

We’ve been playing with the idea of putting in a garden. Here it would need a tall fence, though. Wild critters aren’t very good about staying out of where they don’t belong. Good luck to your son with his indoor garden!
We have abundant bunnies here! The dog keeps the deer out at least.
