It is terribly dry. There’s a chance of rain this weekend (sorry picnickers) but you know how that is. The chance can be 100% and still not pan out. I was hoping not to use up my store of water until it gets really really dry but it’s already really really dry and I’m down to my last gallon or two. Maybe three. I’ve been watering the watermelon, cucumbers, peppers, herbs, arugula and basil and the tomatoes that are back in the shallow boxes but leaving the other tomatoes in the bigger box to fend for themselves....

It was still summer. To be sure, it was still my first granddaughter’s second birthday and all the members of the family who were in the area congregated at DS1’s to celebrate. They had moved from the cramped apartment to a roomy house on a hill. Getting it there was a saga in itself but that’s not my story so I won’t go into it here. There were (from the right to left) Grandma, Daddy with the video camera (remember when they were that big?), Great-Grandpa and Mommy. The Birthday Girl was in front. I was behind my own camera which was a film camera (remember them?) that DS1 and family had given me for my birthday. Déjà vu all over again.... Read more

Sunday
My sister had asked when I could come see her at her daughter’s house. I’d told her not Sunday because I had too much to do. Then…I ended up getting very little accomplished that I’d planned. I did get out in the sun for almost a half hour, then worked on the gardens. DD called when I was in the bathtub for a much-needed soak. I heard the phone ringing but I finished up and blended a green smoothie before I called her back. She has offered to change the theme on my blog if I want her to. I told her I’d think about it. I like it as it is but she believes another theme would improve it. From what she says, it wouldn’t change the overall look—just the functionality. That would be okay.... Read more

The summer went by in a flurry of activity. Getting a college freshman ready to go to school clear across the contiguous United States wasn’t easy and we were doing it without DH around to help. That wasn’t unusual but, at times like this, I would get mad at him because he’d left. Not angry. Mad. Spitting, screaming mad. It wasn’t pretty and I’d mostly vent when I was in the car alone. Oh, I had a temper and I still do to a point but not as much now since eating raw food evens out so many things, that included. There were some times when I’d get frustrated and take it out on poor DD. I do hope she’s forgiven me for those outbursts. Before she came along, I’d direct it toward DS1 & 2. They must’ve forgiven me because they still associate with me.... Read more

All winter, I hovered anywhere from 114 to 116. I can look back at my weigh-in stats on my weigh-in topic on the forum and see that’s a fact. What is also a fact is that I gain weight in the summer. That’s a given with all the good fruit that’s available. The unfortunate fact this season is that I’m gaining ‘way more ‘way faster than the years before and I think I have figured out three reasons why.... Read more

Sunday
I woke early and remembered I had a business meeting at the church this morning. For a wonder, I got everything done I absolutely had to and was out the door and the first one there. I’d had the beginning of breakfast (OJ blended with mixed fruit) and made a blueberry/banana/spinach smoothie to have when I got home. Wondering if I’d gotten the date/time wrong, I went to the church and called one of the members and was assured I was right. When I came out, the parking lot had sprouted more cars. The pastor had promised the meeting would be short but that just doesn’t happen. I got home and was glad my next meal was in the fridge.... Read more

Graduation weekend came and DD was the center of attention as far as our family was concerned. She wasn’t that comfortable with all of it but she tolerated it well. Relatives came from near and far to celebrate the occasion.... Read more
