State of the Garden
Today I harvested herbs to dry (lemon balm, mint, rosemary, thyme, sage). I froze a pint of garlic chive blossoms, made a green jerk sauce, a basil-garlic chive pesto–most went into the freezer, the rest I will eat in the next week or so. I started a mint liqueur and today’s bean harvest, yielded a pint of fresh beans that I put into the freezer. And I started stringing chili peppers to dry. I found it soothing and meditative.
Down-regulating
It’s true that I’m still reading the news and signing petitions and sending comments on regulations, but otherwise, it’s good to have several days to take good care–and to practice my Spanish.
The daily routine for the week: meditation by myself, walk on the beach when it gets light with fellow yogis, breakfast, yoga practice (mostly functional movement exercises rather than traditional asana), lunch, quiet time, more practice, dinner, early to bed.
Still Life
Cherry tomatoes and scotch bonnet peppers from the garden; high protein bread (used both pulp from homemade soy-rice milk and sourdough starter). Gardening and cooking are a grounding practice I am grateful to have.
