Exhausted

We worked on the tomato patch all morning Sunday, and it's still not done.  And it was also a load, unload, and reload day.  We have one more load to pick up.

 Thanks to my younger brother, we have a good start on wood (or will - one more load to pick up).  He cut some trees down, even borrowed our splitter and had it already for us to pick up.  Woohoo!

 Both of us were exhausted last night.  Definitely a good sleep night.

 I even got another 1/2 cup of red raspberries in the freezer.

 Today it will be another hot one.  It's outside I go, early today.  I have a full truck load of wood to unload, tomatoes to stake and tie up, more weeding, and of course inside work.

Wood, wood, wood! That's on our schedule for this week here on our little homestead. Also, hot, humid, muggy, buggy weather seems to be the order of the day. (Do I really like summer time?) The problem in getting out early while it's still relatively cool for us here is that the no-see-ums have been vicious until about 9 a.m. Then, of course, it starts to get uncomfortably warm for doing anything physical. Working decked out in long sleeves and a head net is not my idea of fun, but I'd be drained of blood and a hysterical itching mess otherwise. Oh well, could be worse, right?

Here's hoping you can get those tomaters under control this week. Good luck!

Thanks Mama Pea. I'm unloading an even fuller load of wood this morning, and it's hot already.

First of all let me say how much I love your "wish list" off to the side of your blog. And yes, exhausting days for sure. In the midst of our homestead we are putting up produce and tearing down a 150 yr house old house on our property. Exhausted but productive, it's the homesteaders motto.

Donna, thank you! Yes, it's exhausting work, yet productive. I just hope we get a good harvest. We are still cleaning up an old barn we took down a few years ago. There is always a job needing done around here.

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 . . .
