I did a video this morning while walking around in the garden, talking about it. I didn't intend for it to last ten minutes, so you've been warned about the length; don't feel you have to watch it for my benefit.
One other disclaimer: I'm at an age where I'm always wondering whether I'm ready for the old folk's home, because I often use the wrong word for things... if I can remember anything at all! After wasting an hour trying to edit the video, I gave up and just decided to keep it real. When I'm talking about the corn I re-planted that didn't grow, I said I just bought the seeds this morning. Obviously, since I planted them two weeks ago, I did NOT buy the seeds this morning. (Don't laugh; it could happen to you.) Then at the strawberry patch, I'm talking along and at one point call them tomatoes. Keep watching my blog for more signs of dementia.
Here's the video, without further ado.
It was a much bigger garden than I was expecting! It looked really good and a couple weeks ahead of ours on just about everything.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing people's voices! It makes the blog relationship more personal. I too am searching for words sometimes which I DO not like.
ReplyDeleteDonna, your garden is growing so nice. Living in a townhouse; I miss having a garden. I drive to an Amish farm and buy my fresh vegetables near Versailles . Fresh tomatoes are so delicious.
ReplyDeleteTry the peanut butter test
ReplyDeleteNews today says if one can’t detect the odor of peanut butter with your left nostril, it may indicate Alzheimer’s disease. Place a ruler between jar and nostril. The team found that the odor detection distance of AD patients’ left nostril (5.1cm), and not their right (17.4cm), was much less than the other groups. 5 cm is about 2 inches. 17.4 is almost 6 inches. The difference in the two is the key. The disease affects portions of the olfactory cortex. The initial sites of AD pathology and patients with AD often have more degeneration of their left than the right hemisphere. Very interesting….
Well, that test says I'm fine. Actually, I don't really worry about dementia these days. I've put my brain into the hands of God, and whatever happens, happens.
DeleteJust think might be nice not to know.
ReplyDeleteIt happens to all of us as we age,,...no big deal and just an inconvenience..
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with your garden. Your strawberries are so healthy and I can see your runners are ready to take off. Your corn is already really tall. Wow! And yes, I'm also often forgetting words I should know which drives me crazy.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so glad someone else has the "wrong word" problem like me!! :-) ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteGood that you did not succeed in editing it and just decided to keep it real. It gives the video a natural feel (at the same time informative) Those flowers at 5:45 looks lovely against the morning sun. And forget about dementia.
ReplyDeleteGosh, that was fun to see your garden and all your plants. I LOVED your comment about when you used to not weed and the plants had to grow through the weeds. That is EXACTLY what I say, and I take my push mower down between the rows to get rid of the big weeds. haha! My brother has a fit over that. Thanks for the video Wendy
