The new range extenders are doing well, but DH suggested moving two of them to different locations. Trying one late yesterday didn't go as well, so I'll redo them on Friday when I'll have some time to deal with resetting and re-calibrating them. It'll go fine, jut be a little more involved than I felt like dealing with last night.

DH suggested moving two of the units to different outlets, so I tried one last night. It worked, but it was quite fussy. I'll work on the full system on Friday when I have the time to devote to it. |
But as exhausted as I was by the time I went to bed, I couldn't get to sleep. It was just too hot and uncomfortable, even with my portable air cooler. I resorted to trying one of my favorite sleep hypnosis tracks, and even that didn't work. But I finally did manage to get about 3-4 hours of sleep. I suspect I'll be dragging tonight, but I'll manage. I just hope I don't make any computer errors at the shop today since I'll be working on Etsy things on my laptop as well as doing things for the store computer's inventory updates.

The Datura plant has a single blossom at a time. It's quite nice - purple and white, double layered and deep. It reminds me of Victorian skirts I've seen in that coloring and pattern. It never lasts for long, usually falling off within 24-36 hours. The plant itself is extremely poisonous, we use gloves when dealing with it. |
We spent most of the afternoon on the patio, enjoying a lovely, if hot day. We relaxed, and looked at our various plants. The garden hasn't been a great success this year - we've had bugs eating the leaves of our violets, and sawflies that decimated my columbines and other flowers. One plant that has been doing well, but that DH says he won't plant again, are our two Datura plants. I think they're really fun - very poisonous, but really interesting. They produce a single blossom at a time, and the western one was blooming yesterday. The blossoms last for 24-36 hours, then fall away. DH is disappointed that the flowers don't last for a longer time period, but I think they're quite wonderful.

I've never had a golden cherry tomato plant before and it's quite nice to look at. I harvested my first tomatoes from it yesterday and will see if I picked ripe ones, or if they should have stayed on the plant for a day or two longer. |
I am harvesting cherry tomatoes almost every day now, just got my first ones from the golden cherry tomato plant yesterday and I'll eat those on tonight's salad. I'm very used to the exact degree of red I need for a ripe cherry tomato, but the goldens are new to me and it will take me a little time to get used to the exact look I need for a truly ripe one. I'll have plenty of opportunity to practice over the next couple of weeks - LOL.

The topic for the current writing challenge is kingsugi - the Japanese technique of "precious scars". In this technique, the potter fills in the cracks with gold to make something broken into something precious. I have too many ideas floating around in my head, and the deadline is Wednesday late afternoon. |
On that note, I'm out of here. I have two days to get my next story written, and have thought about and cast aside at least 20 storelines in my head. Maybe I'll get a chance to pull something together tonight, if I'm caught up on my computer work. Have an excellent Monday and Slava Ukraini.
