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?

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.
