A couple of days ago, we have had a storm. It has become cooler since then. It is not necessary for us to run air conditioner at night any longer. It has been a fiercely hot summer this year.
It is the time for us to sow seeds and plant seedlings for the fall winter vegetables. A lot of works ahead. If planting them too early, they could be damaged by insects which are very active for the coming weeks. Without using any insecticides, it is a kind of art to decide when to plant them.
I have cropped some 30 pumpkins, a bit too many for us to consume. Tomatoes are ending the season soon. I am trying to go on harvesting them with the sauvage style cultivation, which turned out to be successful this year. Sweet potatoes are waiting for harvesting very soon.
Mowing lawn and pulling weeds have literally kept me busy. Hopefully, they will get slower growing for now. Whack a hole at garden seems to end in a month or so. Preparing for the next season, that is, not having weeds seed too much, I should do my best for this last race in gardening. With the heat wave ready to go away, it is not too bad torture to stay there working hard for now.
Only 10 days are left before my wife shuts down her office. It seems the number of patients she should do with won't be decreased until the very end of work. It is a very small office with a loyal and proficinet employee having worked there since the beginning, that is, almost a quarter century. At closing such a tiny business, the owner should be put an enormous burden, doing with a lot of paper works, negotiating with public institutions or an accountant, making payments at banks by herself and so forth. Dissolution of the medical corporation has been a tough procedure as well. Even after the closing date, she would attend to the office for another couple of months to do with the remaining business even if not working a whole day every day.
Like it or not, there are only 10 days left.
