 "Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases.  Neither is it merely the opportunity to chose between a set of alternatives.  Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices - and then the opportunity to choose." - C. Wright Mills

Catching up

 So I had an entire day off, and made the best of it.  The tomato plants got chopped off and the half-ripe tomatoes got pitched into the forest for the deer.  The grass got a final mowing, and the mower got winterized.  The sprinklers got blown dry with the air hose, as did the garden hoses, which were then stored.  The water trough got cleaned and the immersion heater installed in it. 

I did not yet bring in the wasp traps, re-tarp the RV, plant the snow markers, install the winter tires on the Subaru, replace the batteries in the smoke detectors, or do a fall burn, there just isn't enough time for everything in one day.  But one day was all that I had.
