I have spent this morning out in the sunshine digging up the garden and planting some veggies.
Now that we don't have daisy - our lovely bunny - with us anymore I have decided to reclaim the garden. In true jenni style I have chosen to do this as we near the end of summer and approach winter so my choice of veg was somewhat limited. I went for it anyway and hopefully soon we will be enjoying some rocket and random other veg.
It struck me as I was washing away the dirt this afternoon what a lovely day it had been. Spent outside doing something productive and getting good and grubby in the process.
I loved it - the quiet, peaceful space to work and think at the same time. So often it is too easy for me to opt for the lazy tv option to fill my time yet getting outside and working feels so much better.
We have just decided to cancel our tv subscription agreeing that it's far too much money and not where we want our attention to be focussed. It's definitely what I want yet I find myself having moments of panic - fearing boredom I guess. What will I do without the my shows back up plan on TiVo on those free evenings? Well I hope that I will do quite a lot more to be honest.
So as we approach the end of the month and a much reduced or even tv free (it's been discussed) household I'm going to try to remember the contented feeling of days like today. I definitely want to choose to garden, read, sew, socialise and run but am aware that as we near the colder months this could be a challenge.
Fingers crossed ill stay focussed and busily blog my various activities.
I've set myself a few challenges to keep myself focussed.
1st - signed up to the great south run in October - eek 10 miles!
2nd - signed up to co-run a craft fair table in November with @sassytastic
3rd - generally plan to spend more time crafting, creating and quietly contemplating
So here goes lots of outdoorsy and productive days :-) I'll keep you posted on how my veggies grow!
