Time On Your Hands Part 2
If all these suggestions seem silly to you because you did all that anyway, even though the TV was running every day, let's start putting an aspect of that simple life into practice that you have been dreaming about.
Why don't you go to the store and grab some tomato and pepper seeds, some potting soil and a few containers, and start substituting your house plants for plants that will yield fruit?
Plant the seeds according to the description - by the way, newspaper paper or the paper from the adds you find in your mailbox all the time makes fine pots for the first seedlings, and doesn't cost a dime extra !
Place the pots on the windowsill, preferably in a window that goes south, and enjoy watering them and watching them grow... and dreaming of harvest time.
If this experience has not been part of your home schooling, or if you never had the benefit of being home schooled in the first place, it's high time you tried it.
Are you reading this in the winter time, and have a hard time finding seeds in a store anymore to start your winter garden? You might find a sewing or knitting project to be more fulfilling at this time of year then. Check the internet for free patterns and unmixed fabric that's on sale, for example, or go to your local fabric store to see what they have to offer. And since you have time now, it might be a good idea to read The Sin of Bath-Sheba beforehand.
