I have come to the conclusion that there are not enough hours in the day. Lately I’ve been working on a project for work – my first (self-assigned) programming project, and it is coming along swimmingly. I’m also trying to get a winter garden going. Here in Birmingham we are blessed with a long growing season – and I want to try my hand at growing all the cold weather veggies I enjoy – turnip greens and swiss chard and broccoli rabe, for starters. I have about 50 little paper cups filled with seeds and dirt and water; hopefully they’ll take off and I will be on my way.
I’m also reading the World Without Us by Alan Weismann – and I’m enjoying the doomsday. Urban decay has always fascinated me – I think there is a certain beauty in nature always winning and civilization always crumbling, and so it’s fun to read a book where that is the whole point.
