Night Schedule
I spent so much energy this Saturday trying to keep my night schedule. There is nothing to do at 3 am but play computer games. I almost started working on my portfolio but forced myself into the relax mode. Why is it such a chore to simply relax and recharge?

Drove 300 miles
I drove 300 miles to have lunch with my Mom and Sister. Hot turkey sandwich was real but burnt ends and dry stuffing gave me wicked heartburn all day. These are the times that give life meaning. Glad to hear the family news happy or sad.

Japanese Tea House (revised)
I made the trek to see the Japanese Tea House, before the Garden is closed for winter. The water falls and pond give you a sense of completeness. Landscaping encourages compassion for the fragility of living things.
I wanted the pictures of the Japanese Tea House to be easier to see on this post so I included them in this slideshow.

It is time to pickle cucumbers and can tomatoes for winter. It is time to enjoy the rewards of all that you have sown.
