Another Hot Day

I started in the garden about 7am, then moved onto unloading the wood.  I got all the tomatoes staked, with only  a few left to tie up.  It was only 80°F, but working in the direct sun wore me out and I quit at almost 10:45am.  

Having nothing in my stomach but coffee and a slice of toast, I donned my apron and made a large batch of egg and bacon scramble for the week.  I also multi-tasked and got dinner in the crock pot too.


However, a full kitchen of dirty dishes loomed.  Laundry had to be done.  You know how it goes, right?

There really is something to the old saying that woman's work is never done! Just the one simple (?) task of food preparation. So often I look at the mound of dirty dishes on my counter and wonder how just two people can create so many dishes, pots and pans. My husband says it's because I actually cook, make everything from scratch and we sit down to three meals a day. Hmmmm, may be something to that!

Yesterday was laundry and ironing day for me so about the only thing I did outside was harvest strawberries. And then sit at the table for about 2-1/2 hours cleaning them. So why was I so stiff last night? I think it had a lot to do with the heat factor when I was working in the berries. I'm sure you felt the same thing after your time outdoors.

Sounds like you're still not feeling your usual perky-chirky self so please do take care, Kristina.
Mama Pea, I was just asking myself (out loud) yesterday how I could make so many dirty dishes with just two of us, ha ha! Yeah, the heat was bad. I am just tired and worn out, but have a slower day today thankfully. I am actually praying the rain arrives as we could use it.

I often wonder the same, how can two people create so much washing up? The washing and ironing is calling for me today, I am playing catch up.
mamasmercantile, I made a bunch of dirty dishes again. Creating from scratch does that, ha ha!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
