February Boredom Solutions
Feb. 22nd, 2011 08:46 amGot a bad case of February boredom going here. Time to start looking for something interesting to do! At the moment I'm getting The Farm started again--getting started with seedlings, dumping the dirt from the containers into the garden for replacement, hoping the cat hasn't decided to use the containers as litterboxes over the winter, etc.--but I also want to start other pursuits.* Most of the social things that interest me either don't exist at all here in SLC, or don't start till April. But I may have missed some good ideas. Any suggestions?
Oh, I am doing one thing new--I am finally getting over my fear of my own spatial stupidity and am learning to identify stars. I found the Pleiades and Sirius tonight! I'm starting to get the idea that I can find things in the sky. Which is good, because once the star parties start (in April, of course) I'm going to attend and not look like a complete noob.
Till then, though, seeds and mushrooms it is. Here's hoping those unbore me for now!
*Like mushroom growing! I'm on a mushroom kick lately. Just from a kit, but I have been wanting something alive down in the Bat Cave. Not easy--the cat would eat any pets, plants would pine away and die, and those goddamn gnats last year made terrible pets. I'll have to make sure to get a variety of gnatless shrooms.
