This meant, stop weeding, go pick up our youngest who was at a sleepover, come home change clothes, go to the store, come home, make dinner, and change clothes and go back out. Phew! Did I just put that all in one sentence? I think I stayed out there until 8pm.
I woke up to fog, which is much thicker now since I took the first (top) photo. It rained again last night. My hair is like a Brillo pad, and my body aches like nothing I've felt before. Or maybe I have, and have forgotten what it felt like. You know, like child birth pain? You feel the pain, then afterwards forget? I wonder if we suffer garden work like that.
Most of the family has been picking wild black raspberries, and I've been canning jam - 15 jars so far. The weeds in the garden are starting to look like small trees. Last night, after pulling the taller weeds, I saw we had a few banana peppers in. I wonder if it will dry up enough today, to get another chance to weed?
Remember my mini weight loss goal for July 4th? Well that is tomorrow and today I have lost 15 pounds. I may not lose another pound overnight, but I am thrilled I got this far, considering I got sick. I'm slowly getting back to myself.
Today is definitely a "crock pot" day, but I need to get busy and make part of my marinade from scratch first. Then just maybe, hopefully, I can grab a few minutes of peace on the front porch.
