The plants are all snuggled in their nice little pots with potting that absorbs water and then releases it when the plant starts to dry out. Good thing because it's damn hot here today. Yesterday slightly cool, beautiful weather today Mojave desert.
Our family doesn't do hot weather even the dog falls apart. Right now he's in the bedroom right underneath the fan keeping himself as cool as he can all things considered. After all it's only 94. Yes 94 we jumped spring right into summer. A couple of weeks ago we got 3 inches of rain, today 94. Yikes!
In other news I'm finally feeling SO.MUCH.BETTER. I was beginning to feel that it was never going to happen but Dr. Sanity and I have done some very hard work over the last few weeks. While I still don't know what the new normal is I have more energy, more patience and more creativity. I pulled out a needle point canvas that I bought years ago for Larry's Mom and hope to get it finished and finished by her birthday in November. I say finish and finish because once I complete the canvas I have to do something with it. I'm learning toward a pillow so she can rest it on her bed. But knowing her she'll put it in a storage bag with moth balls and keep it in the attic for save keeping. Oh well I've given up trying to battle her OCD.
I'm also taking knitting lessons. I knit years ago and forgot how much fun it is. I did my homework for the week 20 stiches, 20 rows and went on the hunt for another set of knitting needles, also there were none to be found. I'm going to be creative and start another project on the same set of needles with different yarn as I discovered I can "watch" tv and knit at the same time. That works out well because Larry is a TV junkie and I'm not so I'm usually at the computer while he watches tv. This way we can be in the same room together and have deep philosopical talks about food, his mother's cooking and mine. He claims I introduced him to good food, his mother is more of a Campbell's soup kind of cook.
A few years ago she broke her hip, we went back to take care of her. I of course took some of my favorite recipes so I could cook dinner and fill her freezer which I'd purged of all the frost bitten food much to her displeasure. She called the other day for my recipe for pasta sauce, she'd just finished to last of it and wanted my recipe! Can you imagine almost 5 year old frozen pasta sauce??? Unfortunately for her I don't have a recipe it's some of this and some of that, a pinch of this and too taste on take and don't forget the red wine.
