scrubjayspeaksThe Ween has been Hallowed! I was quite pleased with how my pumpkins turned out. One had a very cute little face; the other I covered in stars using my nesting set of star cookie cutters. We just wanted a sweet Halloween this year.
Meanwhile, it’s now National Clean Your Home Month. Since I continue to find it difficult to write creatively much, I really look forward to NaClYoHo as a substitute for other writing-based events this time of year. I was surprised to discover that I actually have a nice little list of household tasks I want to get to, despite not doing any advance planning. I’ve learned some things at work that will be applicable at home. I am...slightly unsure about replacing the busted exterior outlet, though I’m certainly doing equivalent tasks at work already. Will try not to flash-fry myself...
Lewisia: 3 new pieces written, November posts queued up, and the Bake-Off arc is complete
Day job: 34 hours, with Thursday off for Halloween
Cooking: these black cocoa cookies (crisp, which is not to my liking, getting repurposed as crumbs for a pudding pie), our traditional Halloween pizza
Cleaning: the below gardening tasks, flushed buildup from the water heater
Crafting: carved pumpkins
Gardening: planted allium bulbs in two of the tire planters at the castle garden, spread flower and grass seed mixes around the wildflower garden and topped with mulch
Listening: picked up an assortment of new Halloween-ish music--Ghost Songs by Louie Zong (always a treat when he releases the year’s new song and animation), UnSeelie Self by Alexander James Adams (delightfully creepy), Horror Show by The Midnight (been a while since I got a new one from them, could listen to “Good in Red” forever)
Other: unloaded hay, visited the pumpkin patch
