Refers to a region near the equator with calm winds, making it difficult for sailing ships to move – a metaphor for being stuck or unable to make progress. That’s the way I feel at present. As if waiting for the other shoe to drop, given procedures queuing up. Of course, the “biggest” one is the insertion of the trial HDX device along my spine. Because of this, I have put off going to the dermatologist to have some more cancerous spots taken care of. I want to minimize open places on my old body in the face of opening others.
Our domestic is presently churning away at squaring our yard away. She can squat while she weeds in a manner that I have never been able to achieve and really moves out. We are blessed to have her working for us.
In the summer heat here, where every day in August is in the mid-nineties or higher, we are having to water frequently. Even then, some of our new trees are showing signs of stress. Speaking of new, Linda and I harvested our potatoes today that we grew in buckets. Did not turn out all that great probably because they were not watered enough. Also planted three of our volunteer tomato plants in smaller cloth buckets to give to a neighbor. We still have plenty of tomatoes from the 13 we have planted along the back of our large garage, and the 4 we have in buckets alongside our single garage. In this respect, God is good!
