Pool time!

So we actually have some sunny days in a row... Mother Nature did as I wished and rained overnight. Perfect, I do not have to water in the morning and the rain barrels are full or near full.

Garden update:

• tomato plants - 2-3 inches high - not good
• okra - what okra?!?
• spinach - seems to have stalled
• beans & cucumbers - flowers! yay...food to come
• lettuce - sprouting, or they may be weeds...
• watermelon - slow but moving
• basil - good

This is just NOT where I expected to be at this point in the summer. I should be picking cucumbers and basil galore by now. UGH! There is no bug bite update because I am remembering to put stuff on before going out!

Have to get moving on the submissions. I always tent to wait til the last minute and then I forget about it, like one show I really wanted to submit for and I missed the Friday DL. Stupid...

I drove the Prius more yesterday. It feels more fun to drive now. I think I am getting used to it. And since I love to coast, this is great. It coasts like a dream, and you can see the gauge show you the transition to electric and your MPG! Cool...

I also have to get my butt moving on preparing stuff for MY etsy shop. That's right. Sister isn't doing it. She's busy with redoing the house. I have to get packaging and all the other incidentals set. And I have to finish the railings for the attic and basement, and finish rewriting town litter code and send to the aldermen, and get everything in place for our town anti-litter campaign, and get stuff set for London...ooof...
