Met one of the moms of the kids today - showed off my garden - later after she left - I looked around at all the empty spaces (thank you, birds!) and thought OH my! Pitiful! Still and all - am glad I have what I do! Her garden isn't doing really well either - their tomatoes are just not ripening - and yes, everything is sooooooo slow growing as to come almost to a standstill! I thought it was just me and my ineptness! I've been really glad to have tomatoes - although have got now almost a canning lot again which would be fine if I had lids! My beans are also growing - and blooming - and that is even for the fall planted beans. Hers aren't. I offered to give her some tomatoes - but they're on the way to visit relatives. So maybe I'm not so bad a gardener after all - provided I don't count the birds!
LOL - Nathan STILL forgot to bring over the eggs he got for me - so I think I'm on my own re eggs and all - at least until next week!
Re housework - can we say this is NOT my favorite thing? And if so, then what gave you the clue??? Could it be (gasp) that I have carried the SAME assignment in one form or another for the last 2 - 3 weeks (or months - whichever!) Regardless - at least the living room is DEFINITELY on the schedule for today! My kitchen is pretty well decluttered - but I want to get it done the rest of the way (yard sale coming up!) - and videos and dvds are part of the living room scene. Besides if I do a marathon of movies (while quilting!) I want to watch movies I haven't seen before or at least recently - so I can keep those separated out - and then give a keep or dump after I watch them. Dining room - as always - may be on a survival mode.
MOSTLY today I want to get Back to Square One completely caught up! I will feel soooooo much better if I do! And even better yet if I get the Hurricane Sandy thingy done and bound and OUT OF THE WAY!!!! Re the 4 patch - that really isn't on the GOTTA DO IT list until next week when a lot of swaps are on that same list!
Dehydrating foods is a definite MUST for today - either that or I will start to lose veggies and I don't want that!
