Fortunately when I grabbed my notes I discovered that I had planned far enough in advance that I'm already ready for tomorrow. Score! The suggested craft for tomorrow's Sunday School lesson made no sense, so the preschoolers are just getting a coloring page to go with the lesson. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I worked. Then I came home and revised, and revised. Then I read, and critiqued. Then printed another story for a rewrite. I am tired, and I still need to clean, cook, and plan school for next week. And grocery list needs to be done, and some plants to repot. Tomorrow will be a busy day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Good morning. It's raining. I am happy. So anyone with extra rain, send it my way. Any day I wake up to the rumble of distant thunder is a day when the sun won't try to kill me. Grocery list, grocery run this morning, and I plan to thump the shells on the turtles if they complain about the rain. I get that we were planning to kayak today. But we can kayak tomorrow. And a rainy Sunday is a gift from heaven for me. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 On 6/23/2018 at 11:57 AM, Susan in TN said: I feel a little depressed and disgusted with my inability to grow things. Yesterday my neighbor came over and sheepishly asked if we would be willing to take a bag of zucchini and yellow squash off her hands because she is overloaded. "If you aren't already over-run with zucchini." Lord, I haven't gotten a single zucchini yet. I saw a blossom once. My tomatoes aren't turning red and most of them have blossom end rot. The squirrels are now eating the strawberries while they are still white. I don't even bother checking them anymore. None of my garlic produced any garlic bulbs. No peppers yet. Barb died - I think it's for good this time. Cilantro is long gone, bugs ate the basil, and the parsley isn't doing well. Woe is me. Such a pity party. I need more coffee. This is me. None of my seeds even sprouted. My strawberry plants were eaten by squirrels. I just bought new herbs...but I have probably doomed them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Our gardens are flourishing, but not as well as they would have if we'd had a proper spring. But I think we'll get some tomatoes, and the boy is already crunching on banana peppers from his seed-started peppers, so I'm calling that success. Better growing for us next year. My ghost pepper? The thing is a monster. Six hot peppers with dangerous scorpion tails and it loves its pot and covered porch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
