 A Monday

It’s hard to believe we have already reached the end of the month.  And it’s Monday… a busy day for me.  I spent the morning working on chores… sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning restrooms, cat boxes, laundry, trash out.  And I did the majority of July’s grocery shopping.

I treated myself to several miniature roses at the grocery.  They were on clearance for $4.20 a plant.  I bought all three of them and already have them planted in the flower beds.  I trimmed off some suckers at the bottom of my tomato plants today also and have six pots of starts to try to grow more plants.  Hopefully I will have a really good tomato harvest this year to can up with.

I was completely out of bird seed so had to make a stop for more.  For July, I have purchased 105 pounds of seed.. it’s my busy season with my main feeder needing a refill pretty much daily.  Even the rabbits are eating it.  Speaking of rabbits, several were in my yard for dinner last night… right around 5pm.  It was raining a bit and they were out in the rain, enjoying dinner, and two were chasing one another about.  I wasn’t sure if it was play, a territorial issue, or a mating game.

June 21, 2025. A Saturday

 Happy Saturday! I harvested the garden this morning and was able to put another load of greens into the dehydrator.  It was a mix of Mustard Greens and Swiss Chard.  Picked a few onions, three little beets, three hot peppers, and a few radishes.  Unfortunately, I had to pull out the lettuce.  It’s hot and humid now and it’s turned bitter.  No more garden lettuce until fall.  I picked a small harvest of white mulberries too.  I used them to make muffins.  The black currants and black mulberries aren’t quite ready. It was to hot and humid after lawn mowing to work on pulling weeds so, tonight I spent about an hour watering and was able to weed the herb bed.  The air conditioning is on.  I’m fairly frugal but, that baby is on.  Hard to believe I went this far into June without it.  Staying cool is a good thing.
