RE: Winter in a Big House, Tiny Garden of Upstate New York, USA

. I can't look. I don't want to talk about it.

Oh dear. I understand! Can I suggest the old 'hour a day' trick? It helps you get there 'in the end' without being too overwhelmed. Sometimes I reduce that to 'one thing a day' - like, I JUST managed to put some straw in the compost.

I find the passing of time on HIVE extraordinary sometimes. Like how did you get to this point of eating your winter stores raised in YOUR garden that you seemed to only have moved into last week, and were dreaming about how you'd manage it?

I like the one thing a day technique and have used it for messes in my house, especially when I moved here, almost 2 1/2 years ago now, unbelievably. I'll have to employ it outside, too. Thanks for the reminder. If I did one thing a day, however small, the job would be well done by spring.

I know what you mean about the passing of time here. Maybe reporting on something fixes it in time somehow, so that it feels as if it was just the other day.

I'm glad that the reminder made you see it as do-able. WE're employing that strategy both inside and out with only just over a month before we leave!
