As the days become shorter and the nights become longer, I can feel S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) hit me like a ton of bricks. This year, however, instead of feeling like not wanting to do anything (perhaps this will hit me later), I feel annoyed because I haven’t been able to finish the tasks in the garden because of the shorter days. Since my mom’s been in China, I feel like I haven’t stopped working in the garden and now, one week before my mom comes home, I feel like I still have a ton to do. I wish nothing more than for the sun to shine just a little bit longer right now.
If I can have one bright thing to say among this is I’m heading south toward Arizona this week for a couple of days. Checking on the day length, the sun sets about 30 minutes later down by the Grand Canyon, which should help brighten my mood. I am looking forward to visiting the Grand Canyon again and re-doing Horseshoe Bend to make sure my pictures are not drowning in shadows again.
The photo of the raven is from a previous road trip when I visited the Bryce Canyon in December. I remember how bright the snow was, so bright that I was squinting and had to shield my eyes. Sometimes, under the right conditions, snow can be ridiculously bright. Though there’s no forecasted snow during the days I’m at the Grand Canyon, I do hope to maybe see a hint of snow in the distance. Crossing my fingers that the weather cooperates.

Monday Thoughts – Why I’m skipping a trip to China
Last week, I found out my aunt (the one who lives in my house) will be going to China in September to visit her dad and my mom wants to go with her. Can you imagine my reaction?

Monday Thoughts – Oops
In my post on Saturday, I posted this picture at the top of the post.
Sadly, tragedy struck that day. I went to Evanston, Wyoming and left the humidity dome on the large seedling tray. I was supposed to put the seedlings under the shade cloth but instead, I left it on the table. 🫣When I returned home that day, it finally crossed my mind that I had forgotten to move the seedling trays, I went out and saw there was nothing left. The seedlings have been fried to a crisp. I imagine that’s how vampires would self-combust when they come in contact with the sun.
Thankfully, the seedlings in the smaller tray did not get fried. Still, I lost 72 seedlings because of my negligence and it sucks. I now have to start all over again and lost 3 weeks of progress.
What makes this worse than a simple mistake on my part is my mom, there was zero sympathy and she kind of told me, “who cares?”
The thing is it wasn’t my idea to go to Evanston. We were supposed to go the weekend before to claim a lottery winning of $4 but my mom changed her mind in the last minute to this weekend. Add on the fact that I haven’t been sleeping well, not to mention being haunted by good dream and uncomfortable bed cover on a night basis, I ought to forget something.
Please note: I am not trying to blame anybody here. I know it’s my fault but should she had reacted this way?

Monday Thoughts – They don’t know me
Just to preface…
I have been putting off on broadcasting this thought on my blog but this has been screaming on repeat in my brain that I can’t take it anymore. I don’t know why I would have this thought but I suppose anyone would probably have this thought at some point of their life.
Anyway, this can classified as somewhat of an existential crisis so be prepared…
