Watching grass grow

Gratefully, it rained yesterday. It saves me the hassle of watering my newly seeded and struggling lawn. In comparison with the asphalt it is only a small L shaped strip created by the plumbers when they added to my septic drainage system.  But I treasure what opportunity there is for grass.

For me, another task has been newly acquired, that of cooking. I really never had the time for it when I was working, and not much now.   But I enjoy it and it seems to get more time efficient with pracitice.  I may even budget for a new kitchen range.

For most of us work for sustenance and these things seem to occupy the greater number of hours of the day. They rarely have poems or essays, much less headlines, written about them.

The capacity to efficiently, if not always joyfully, negotiate them most defines our competence as autonomous individuals.

Freud said to work and to love are the  drives common to all people.  We do a lot of celebrating the love part.  How about the work part too?
