And unfortunately in my neck of the woods, it doesn't give much warning (I lost all my basil before I made it into pesto :-( ), and it seems like my fertility is decreasing faster than the winter sun.<BR/><BR/>I, too, spent a productive weekend out in the garden -- mulching the fall and winter crops, making compost. Feels good to do.Evergreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258314583046975642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132610577676134278.post-73918561523592005462008-10-27T17:19:00.000-07:002008-10-27T17:19:00.000-07:00I too fear not being pregnant by my due dates.

Don't get too caught up on the age thing, concentrate on what you have now, having good healthy eggs. Don't waste your energy looking for heavy clouds. Believe in your sunny horizons and that just as the Earth goes to sleep now in the fall, you'll also re-emerge stronger in the Spring ready to try another cycle.Petruciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779047222262497847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132610577676134278.post-47876618806736346142008-10-27T07:20:00.000-07:002008-10-27T07:20:00.000-07:00I guess my wording wasn't great.

We're all here to support you!<BR/><BR/>Your garden sounds beautiful. I love pesto, and I'm sure everything you make is wonderful. I'm glad you got to enjoy the beautiful weather of the day, which created time to think and ponder.Hope2morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196437847799474686noreply@blogger.com
