Garden report: front yard raised bed not looking well at all!!! son cut some more tree branches that were shading it too much to see if that would help…back yard raised bed is doing a bit better but the container plants on my deck are really showing off….BUT here’s the troubling part…I’ve been trying to go all natural, no chemicals, etc. but something is eating my large leaf plants badly!!! I guess I’m going to have to break down and use an insect spray if I’m going to save anything…even if my garden doesn’t produce a thing I’m still enjoying the effort…gets me up and out of the house….
Granddaughter #5 turns 16 years old Friday and she’s made arrangements to take her driver’s test that day…things have changed a lot since I got my driver’s license on my 16th birthday so many years ago but not the excitement and thrill of the freedom driving provides…now start the prayers for her safety while behind the wheel…Granddaughter Carolina #3 will be returning from France mid-June…while Granddaughter #1 will be leaving shortly for a 6 week program of classes in Europe as part of her college degree and GD #2 Hannah who just graduated from college will be headed out for a 6 month backpacking trip around Central and South America starting in Costa Rica….i’m excited for them but that concern for their safety in this crazy world is ever present…prayers upward…but they’ve been taught what stupid behavior looks like so we just tell them “don’t do stupid.”
Someone mentioned eggs: I bought a #10 can of dried eggs, put them into pint size canning jars and sealed the jars with my Food Saver…I’ve found them satisfactory so far in baking projects…
It’s getting hot and humid where I live…AC having trouble keeping house cool enough…I may need some freon but the service call charge of $95 just to come and look really bummed me out!!! I don’t mind paying a service call charge (time is money) but that seems a bit too much so I’m using fans to help somewhat…looking into putting some sort of film on west facing windows but not sure about doing that myself…
Nothing to report on weight loss effort…scale seems to be stuck…:) of course, I’ve yet to do any exercise at all…
Be blessed all…
