Well, Betty. I am putting a gold star on the calendar for you for yesterday. Sorry you were tired but glad that you "listened" to your body and actually did REST. I am amazed. Hope you are happier with your day today, whatever it may bring.

Cloudy here, supposedly all day, and then alleged rain tonight and tomorrow. I didn't do a whole lot yesterday myself. Of course that's not worth noting as I have lots of those days. Picked cukes and tomatoes and ate some strawberries right off of the plant. Fall peas are about five or six inches tall now and new broccoli is growing well, too. Noticed while I was planting yesterday that many of the beds are dry down as far as 10”…unusual for our clay soil and topography here. If we don’t get this solid rain they are promising I’ll have to deep water all but one of the beds. That one bed never needs water, we suspect it used to be a drain field, as in ten years it’s never dried out enough to need additional watering.

If it does rain today, my game plan is to finish a book I started Friday. It’s called “The Glass Castle” and is autobiographical. It’s a bit depressing and uplifting at the same time and I’m not sure if I’ll like it or not when I finish it but am enjoying the reading of it anyway, if that makes any sense. I also brought home a little computer work on the zip drive so will probably spend a couple of hours on that, too, before I send my timesheet into the main office for the week. Seed list to make up too, I haven't forgotten...today or tomorrow, depending on how the day goes.

Tacking on a photo I snapped of Merry on Friday. I call it "Happy Dog with Verbena"

Yesterday

Best? I have no more to plant…last few went in the ground. Oh and I saw at least five buds on my daturas. This is the first datura I’ve ever had so I am excited for that.

Worst? Probably the same as my best…no more to plant, lol. Oh well, be time for my “annual” mums soon.

Learned? Traveling knocks me out….it’s been a lazy weekend.

Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone, and Laura, hoping yours was both peaceful and “wonder”ful…ttyl….Jan
