Nerves and plant roots

Ok, now I'm getting nervous about the impending job interview! It's only a few days away and I haven't put together an outfit nor practiced yet. I'll have to dedicate most of the weekend to doing that. In order to calm my nerves I'm telling myself that I already have a good paying job with benefits, it's not like I NEED this job. Hopefully that will work during the interview, too. It's been so long that I don't think they interview one-on-one anymore but as a whole interview team. What sorts of questions do they ask? I can go on Monster and some other job-related Web sites and look that up, I guess.

I stopped at the farmer's market after work and the parking lot was empty! Was it Thursday from 2:00-4:00 or on Wednesday? Bet it was Wednesday and I missed it. I was very disappointed as I had my heart set on getting some of the pretty potted flowers to plant in my newly renovated front garden. There is a farmer's market on Saturday in the city where I work, but it's early, at 7:00 AM if you want to get anything worthwhile. I get up very early during the week but not on Saturdays (or Sundays)if I can help it! Might have to make an exception, as I really really want some flowers to plant!

Last night I planted the pepper plant into the small back garden. This plant is from my garden in the country. I took it in for the winter and it survived just fine in a pot. It's a little wilted out there in the garden right now, even though I watered it twice. It was difficult to get out of the pot and I suppose I knocked off too much dirt from the roots. Hope it lives as I'm fond of that plant and it had flowers on it again. But then the herb plants are a bit wilted, too, from the shock of transplanting them. I really hope they all recover.

I have a willow cutting with roots in a glass. I got it from a dropped twig of one of my favorite trees in the downtown of the city where I work. I had an inkling last fall that the tree might be going, so picked up the twig and nursed it in my office all winter. When I no longer had an office, I brought it home. The poor tree, which had been growing there since I remember was plowed over for a parking lot early this summer. The little twig with roots is all that is left of it so I want to find a nice place in the yard to plant it.

I love trees and am sentimental about them. Once or twice a year I drive by my former house in town. I'm checking to make sure my cherry tree and all the lovely lilacs and mountain ash that I planted are still doing well. They are, so far.

Well, it's Friday and Friday means that a weekend is coming soon! Have a good day and a great weekend!
