Today's project

Or maybe tomorrow's project...

Planting bluebonnet seeds. You're supposed to plant them in the fall so they come out in the spring. I'm not sure how to go about it yet without just working them into some dirt. The front yard's mighty crispy from the dry summer, but it's sprinkly today. It's a bit chilly though (hooray! the first chilly day of the season) for planting. I think planting the seeds will entail just going around the yard with a pitchfork first to poke through the hard top layer and then laying them down, but I'm not sure... I'll have to check on it first.

Speaking of the chilly day, we celebrated the coming of fall last night as the cold front blew in. We don't eat meat much, but we made an exception last night to eat some grilled chicken and play outside in the wind. Shirley and Chicken Little didn't seem to mind... or notice... or think anything at all. It's more meaningful to enjoy the changing of the season's when they actually occur. Our temperature here on the Autumnal Equinox was 108 or something. Maybe it can be a new tradition. Summer could be the first day it hits 90.. (in, you know, April)
