May
2018
Ok…
back at it this week. Got several things coming up, which includes
some plans that should translate to special projects (and maybe
even announcements) in June.
The
Local
Friends challenge for this month is From the
Garden. What do you need to build your garden, take care of it,
and get the plants in place? Are there nurseries and stands nearby
featuring items for you to grow or bring to your table?
Local
Friends for Local Business continues to the end of May.
I
didn’t realize exactly how crazy this month had been until I tried
to find time over the past few weeks to get some work done.
Bonkers.
Just
bonkers.
So…
today and tomorrow are catch up days, and then hopefully we can
ramp up some production to finish the month out.
Later
this afternoon or first thing tomorrow, the May edition of A
Parkside View will make the rounds. As
a special thank you for putting up with the delay, this month’s
issue contains four essays (with two of them brand new).
(If
you aren’t signed up for the newsletter… WHY NOT?
It’s easy, and it’s free.)
We
wrap things up for today’s post with a new essay. More coming
tomorrow, here’s the new addition… “Tic
Tac Park”
Finally
have a few things in place and the web site moved into May.
The
main reasons for the late start is thanks to a trip with Terry.
(Nashville – Awesome!) Also had some other items that needed attention.
In fact…
For
the next day or two, I need to shift things over to getting the
May edition of A
Parkside View completed and distributed.
So bear with me… I’ll be back by this weekend. For now…
What
We Do In the Shadows is a tremendous film. Fun… creative…
and, sure, stupid… but I offer stupid up as a description in the
best of possible ways. Do yourself a huge favor and check out
the original film. Then, consider
the television show.
Some
more
stuff for Ant-Man and The Wasp.
Downey
and Law returning as Holmes and Watson in
2020. Mixed feelings from me. Cumberbatch and crew have been,
overall, brilliant with their work based on the characters. That
has been difficult for me to keep separated. Still… worth watching
the project develop.
And
to finish up today… new essay… “Write
me a letter”
Late
start to the month… but in a day or two, we should have some new
material in place. By the weekend, Backpackville should be moving
along at full speed. Two quick things to get things moving…
Local
Friends for Local Business…
From
the Garden is the May challenge, which runs from the 1st to the
31st.
Yes…
it is a bit similar to last month, as far as how being outside
and gardens can be used. But there are a few differences. This
one isn’t about working outside around the home. This is specifically
about gardens and what they produce, along with the local shops
and stands that deliver fruits and vegetables from farms and gardens.
So…
Are
you setting up a garden at your home? Where are you looking for
your supplies? Stakes and fencing… plants and seeds… all of the
materials involved in organizing and maintaining your garden.
Perhaps
you support the gardens—or, often more accurately, farms—in your
community by purchasing plants at nearby nurseries and stands.
This month’s challenge also includes picking up fruits and vegetables
that you bring into your home.
A
Parkside View…
The
third volume of the effort continues with the May release. New
issue should be out by Thursday or Friday this week. (Maybe Saturday…
but let’s keep the fingers crossed for Friday.)
If
you haven’t signed up, keep in mind… IT’S FREE!
And, it’s easy. Just send us an e-mail (or, if you spot us on
our social media pages, send a message). We’ll reach out to you,
get everything confirmed, and make sure you are included in the
monthly distribution.
That’s
it for now. Check back tomorrow.
