Yesterday's harvest
My neighbor/sister had me over for dinner last night which was just what I needed.
The garden is doing great since we are having enough rain that I don’t have to water everyday! And Thursday I laid down a layer of newspaper with a layer of wheat straw on top to help contorl the weeds. Because I am too lazy to use the hoe! My brother-in-law/neighbor has a great garden and has nicknamed his hoe “my dirty HOE”. Which is too funny when you hear him talk about it. His southern accent helps with his discription.
Is 1 gallon of water a day too much to drink? I have been trying to drink lots of water and am up to about 3 quarts per day. Because I have such (gross as it sounds) thick mucus all the time along with dry eyes. So lots of water does seem to help.
It is a perfect day and I’m all primed to clean pack up some of my beading supplies and art supplies. Hopefully just being around all the supplies will inspire me to make something. I am still working on the lap quilt for my sister. I will (promise) take some pics of my progress SOON!
Why is good posture so hard to maintain? I have to think about it or I tend to slump again. In Jr. high and Sr. high school we had a couple of girls that had to wear those steel back braces (for scoliosis I am guessing). And I Always envied them and wanted to wear one too. haha…isn’t that odd? But even back then my posture was not good. After they had their braces removed they had the best posture and even though in High School it looked a little extreme (boobs sticking out so far) I wished my posture was that straight. Weird what we think about when teens, huh?
The fireworks just in our neighborhood sounded outstanding however with the cloudy sky I really couldn’t see many. Usually we can just sit on our deck and watch all the surrounding neighborhoods do theirs. It was astounding just listening to all the booms and trying to catch a glimpse of some kind of shimmer in the sky. There were a few small planes circling the sky ….now THAT would be the way to enjoy all the fire works!
