Day...2...or 2 and half...

Not much going on in my head currently. Trying to be more insightful and true to myself. I felt very sluggish and anti-social yesterday. Mostly because I hadn't done any work. Today I rememdied that. Peeled garlic, to make it look pretty, for a while. Then later spent some time harvesting lima beans. This activity was cut short by the rain (thank god, was doing it for at least 2 hours straight). I must admit, I prefer harvesting ground cherries to the lima beans. Ground cherries fall to the ground, when they're ready to be taken. And you can snack on them. Lima beans? Eh. Acorn harvest 'em for the seeds. So we take them off of the bush when they're brown and dry. This has to be done before the rain (oops!) so that the seeds don't begin to sprout. Alas, we only harvested part of two rows...out of four...and completely neglecting the other variety of lima beans. But hey, beats doing tomato portraits! Actually, that was pretty fun last time I was here.

This thursday will be the Harvest Festival. Big event for Acorn's seed business. I expect the chaos to ensue shortly. Though Fiver and I are currently fixing up the sign for this gig. When I was here last there was a small local farmers event that they had a booth at. That had me tied up with working on signs of tomatoes (the portraits) and other assorted things. I helped with set up. I plan to do the same again. I'm a bit too nervous to do any actual customer interaction...I don't really know anything about seeds/agriculture/gardening.

In other news, which isn't news at all, trying not to obsess over Pepper...and trying to actually crack into my repressed memories...Though it's slowly dawning on me that the ephihanies I had while here the last time happened because I wasn't hunting them down. Oh, and I'm totally looking forward to drawing some naked people. Rock!
