Saturday- A busy day. full of rain and a peek of sunshine here and there. This weekend it has been hard to get the things I want to get done for two reasons, outdoor work can’t be done due to rain, and well, the rain has also sucked some of my motivation out the window. We ended up going out for supper in which before hand I got online and calculated my calorie intake for the meal, did real good. went over to the family’s house and socialized and came home at 10pm. I put the little one to bed, still had excess energy and decided to run a few miles on the treadmill and do some weights. Felt good to take advantage of the time I had.
Sundays-my day of rest. Just did some “hardio”, went to church , socialized, made a tasty dinner, and have an evening with a good book. I am really excited for this new week, I am planning out my garden and will be planting all my starter plants (we are going organic as possible which will be nice)
Things in my garden:
basil
parsley-flat leaf
sweet potatoes
big boy tomatoes
cherry tomatoes
bibb lettuce
sweet corn
banana peppers
zucchinis
strawberries
Do you have to plant strawberries every year? I’ve lived in California all my life and they are one food plant that doesn’t need to be planted every year here.
You ran at 10PM? Boy, you’re hard core!
You’re garden sounds lovely. I can’t wait to have one next year. This year is all about organizing the INSIDE of the house!

This reminded me of a Tori Amos song called Datura - a 9 minute jam where she just names off everything she grows...including the psychedelic plant of the title.
Got any datura?
So all my plants are in the ground and I keep staring at my “work"---my mouth waters just thinking of all the yummy things I can make with fresh produce....caprese salad oh my! BLTs for the hubby, sweet potatoes that melt in your mouth....yum yum yum! It is pretty sad, I even have included the “well being” of my garden into my prayers..."Dear Jesus, please bless my garden”.....
Today I had every intention to run until my legs give out but only got in 5 miles. I just didn’t have the time this afternoon. I may do 5 more after supper...who knows. My body seems to shut down after 7pm. Well the sun is shining and I am going to soak it up. Happy Tuesday everyone.
I love that!!!
