What a Difference, Part 2

5 Oct

I am still not used to waking up at 5.30 am to play golf. It is always a catch 22 situation. Should we be the first flight to tee off to enjoy the morning cool weather? Or should we tee off a little later and deal with the heat towards the last few holes?

Sometimes the weather makes a big difference in performance. But then again, when there is lovely weather, the game is just not clicking in every area, like my recent game. My golf mojo is erratic.

The cloudy sky and cool weather were perfect golf weather, but the game was not as envisioned. Drives were errant; irons shots were sloppy, chips and putts were not happening. Why, why?

There were a lot of unnecessary mistakes and costly strokes. Sigh. So demoralizing after that second game that was so good. I seem to be consistently inconsistent more than anything else. Sigh again.

I play another game today, and let’s hope for a better outcome.

The Gardening Project Continues

4 Oct

It seems to be taking forever for the crop of vegetables to grow. So much so, I sometimes forget we even had some growing. I have been busy playing golf now that this activity is allowed – I have neglected the garden and the crops.

But they have grown so well. The chili plants in the planter box are now fighting for space with the mini brinjals. The leaves look luscious, and overall, every plant is thriving. So it is time to transfer them to the garden for better nutrients and a bigger space to grow.

The mini brinjal and chili have outgrown their planter box!

When there is something to show after so long, it can get exciting, and I look forward to seeing the fruits of our labor.

I spy a couple of baby okras! Yay.

Returning to DIY Project #17

1 Oct

Suddenly it’s October already! My goodness, where did the time go? M2 has settled back nicely into college mode, while M1 has settled nicely into being home with us. As for me, I decided to return to the stalled DIY miniature project number 17.

Slowly but surely getting there with #17

It has been super slow with this one, and I don’t know why. But I decided I should get this completed now that we are into October. I have stalled long enough on it. So I’m setting a deadline to wrap it up.

However, since I have started playing golf again and will be out several days a week, I think two weeks is fair to finish the project instead of one week.
