Yesterday my neighbor brought us over some squash, tomatoes and cantaloupe straight out of her garden. Yummy! The tomatoes are so big and good, the cantaloupe was ripe and sweet. My brother called today and is dropping tomatoes and cantaloupe off at Tim’s for me to pick up tomorrow. Can’t beat fresh produce from the garden!
We took a walk last night and couldn’t go past the low water bridge as water was running over the road. I bet it is clear by tonight though as it wasn’t too deep.
I have been working on making face masks on and off all day today. I have 50 ready to take to the Sr. Center when I go to town tomorrow. Have another 10 made too. I do them in bits and pieces and finish some up off and on so I feel like I am making progress.
We worked in the chicken coop today removing weeds that have quickly grown up since the chickens have been gone. I thought I could pull them but some were way too big. Jim brought the mower down and cut them down that way. He is also attempting to reclaim the garden space that has been overgrown with weeds for the last several years. It is hard, dirty work.
I have a peach cobbler in the oven for Jim tonight. Tim gave us a few fresh peaches when we stopped by Friday. It smells wonderful. I saved one peach out for me to eat. They are too sweet to eat more than one but I will savor every bite of the one I will eat.
I am grilling some burgers I found in the freezer for dinner tonight. Serving them with cantaloupe and fresh tomatoes. That will be easy!
Tomorrow I have to be at the heart center in Topeka by 12:30 for my nuclear stress test. I want to leave a bit early and drop off the face masks at the senior center and go by the clinic and get my TSH tested. I need to refill my prescription and need to know what dose to take. The Nuclear stress test will take several hours so won’t be home much before 5:00 if then.
I woke up at 5:00 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. Finally got up at 6:00 and have stayed up. I could take a nap right now but am going to try to stay awake so I will sleep good tonight.
It has been in the low 80’s today. I saw the forecast for later in the week is calling for higher temperatures and by Saturday we will reach over 100. Yuck! Maybe I will go back to CO where it is much cooler.
I have been in a better mood today. I was able to let go of what triggered me yesterday. Still haven’t figured out how not to pick it up next time it happens but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Maybe I will figure out a way to detour around it!
Grateful for the fresh produce that has found it’s way to us, grateful progress is being made on making face masks, and grateful progress is being made down in the chicken coop.
