the garden did fine without me

Three weddings down this month, one left, and I finally got out to the garden plot yesterday after not showing up for weeks.

Figured it’d all be dead. It wasn’t. The zucchini basically took over the whole back row on its own, no watering from me, nothing. Pulled off more than I know what to do with, gave most of them to the guy at the plot next to mine, he looked almost offended I hadn’t come sooner (fair, honestly).

It got me thinking about something from one of those videos I watch on the bus, the guy talked about how some things you worry over just keep going whether you hover over them or not, and some other things fall apart the second you look away, and most of the stress is just not knowing which kind a thing is until it’s too late to matter.

Didn’t expect the garden to be the example that finally made that click for me, but here we are.

Last wedding is this weekend. My feet are already dreading the heels I picked out for it back in July, 3 inches, I don’t know what I was thinking.

Anyway. Decent note to end the week on.
