i'm going to be good today

Well, I was hoping, but too busy and now exhausted. I worked on the back-40 (my balcony garden.) I had soil to prepare and plants to put in. Not that many but some heavy lifting was involved. Thank goodness Matt helped me.

Beautiul day, warm sun and air. For a change I was not cold, but still sore, and tired. I finally quit and we swam— indoors. I’ll deal with the rest of the plants tomorrow. I still had dinner to prepare.

Roast chicken with tiny new potatoes and fresh asparagus with pineapple and strawberries for dessert. I enjoyed my Sunday Special (one gin martini) as I pretended to be at leisure, and then one glass of red wine (Baco Noir) which carried me through dinner to clean-up time after Matt left.

I dismantled the chicken and froze packages for later meals and started a chicken bone broth for overnight. I’ll deal with it in the morning along with the corn chowder I started earlier today when I took a break from the balcony chores.

I’m tired now, too tired to write a proper Blog.

After all, tomorrow is another day.

where did i go?

I was here a minute, well, a day or two ago.

Not sleeping quite so much and trying to catch up with my duties. Letters to write, phone calls to make and soup to dole out. A neighbour had a stroke and has come home from hospital in need of soup. Well, of course she needs more than that but it’s all I can give. Other neighbours, a couple, need more than that. So I made lots of soup, three kinds. So I was busy, and neglected other things, like my blog.

I’m here now, trying to catch up.

Soon.

But not today.
