This month,
I’m preparing the vegetable garden
for next year’s planting.
I’m clearing the bed.
I’m spreading compost.
I’m covering it
with a thick layer of leaf mulch.
These are all tasks
I COULD do in the spring.
Except the spring
is the busy time
for gardening.
There’s planting
and transplanting
and turning the bed
and a gazillion other things
to do
at that time.
By completing some tasks now,
I’ll make the busy season
less busy.
We’re ramping into
the busy season
for retail sales.
The holiday season
will, hopefully,
be hectic
for stores.
If you can complete
some tasks now,
you’ll decrease your stress
during that busy season.
