Today, I started the day much more relaxed. I will try not to think about tomatoes until tomorrow.
Yesterday was a madwoman shopping day. We needed chicken feed, coffee, toilet paper....necessary items. I got my car an oil change (saving Hubby the work). Also, we took too long to get our 17 year-old her driver's education classes, so we had to get her a new permit. I was whipped at the end of unloading and putting everything away. Today, we deserved to relax. Hubby worked overtime this weekend too.
Hubby and I took our coffee to the front porch, and watched the sunrise for the first time this fall. In fact, I can't remember watching it this summer, we were so busy. Today, we enjoyed it. One kiddo even joined us.
I can hear the ragweed growing out in my vegetable garden, but today I will not listen. Today, I will relax. I keep repeating it in hopes I'll listen to myself, ha ha!

Random Tidbits ~ Relaxation Day!
Woke up to fog today. School even closed after they had a 2 hour delay. The weather is strange, but I got my motorcycle ride last night. Hubby is sweet. He came home and said "ride after dinner?" and when I said "where?" he said "you pick" I'm doing it for you. It's really for both of us.
We delivered Jack Daniel's fudge. Word got out, after leaving a few pieces at Hubby's nephew's house, and even after dropping it off, we got another call for more. I will most likely make another pan for his family to try, and hopefully mine too.
