The weather has gotten cooler and dryer. A taste of autumn today. Most Minnesotans enjoy fall the most with winter second.
Read my lily culture book this evening and got the information I needed to dig up the lily bulbs. They will go in amongst the iris. Later this fall I will plant daffodils in amongst them, too.
Paula Westmoreland from Ecological Gardens got back in touch with me today. We’ll connect on Monday. Kate and I want her to come out and help us with a site plan and assessment of our potential for permaculture. She can give us concrete next steps to take: plant lists, landscaping advice, energy conservation and capture ideas, perhaps even some modest income producing possibilities. This will give us a set of goals and objectives against which we can work.
I can do much of the work myself. What I can’t do we’ll hire. Exciting.
The Vikes looked pretty good. The defense did a great job. The offense sputtered, chugged, then hit on all cylinders for a few beautiful plays, then sputtered again. The announcers made a good point. At this time in the season the defense has its act together better than the offense. Offense relies on split second timing. Frerotte is our second string quarterback so in spite of a good game from him, the offense played with out its key player, Tavaris Jackson. His year will probably end up being our year, so here’s hoping he comes on strong after the knee injury.
