power

ok, so......after a powernap.......i rallied to complete the bushtrimming with a repaired powercord.......i finished just before the winds started to pick up and i felt a few drops of rain....must not tempt fate with electrical appliances in the rain.......i did not manage to get to the semi-circle of low boxwood in the corner of the yard......these started out as tiny edging shrubs....and i let them get out of hand so that they are not almost too high to a frame to the solomon seal in the middle.....trimming them has always been problematic, as they are on a hill....does one try to make each bush squared off, of make the flow downhill smooth across the tops........luckily one's mistakes grow out like a bad haircut.....speaking of power...i have discovered that our smokies campground has neither electric nor showers......which i can take for 2 nights if the company is good...and going off the grid for a couple of days could only be good for me.....i WILL problem-solve a way to make my morning coffee.....i vaguely recall us having a small camp-stove here.....i cannot recall my last coffee-less morning....i CAN recall my last showerless day......it can be done......i have visions of a 4 day hike across the southern island of new zealand......which would require several showerless days...might as well get in training for such things now.....got to keep these goals and dreams ahead of me like a carrot in front of the mule....in these post-midlife crisis menopausal days, i feel a power surge coming on....
