As I watered I couldn't believe the growth, the abundance. I am trying tomatillo's again this year. They make the best salsa verde (my personal favorite). I am concerned that once again I will have a beautifully flowering plant, with no yield. It has grown enormous, covered in beautiful bright yellow flowers, of which not a single one has turned into fruit. I fear I need to do more research, anyone have any tips - I'll gladly take them.
It's been such a crazy couple of weeks and I am so far behind on everything. I have spent far more hours in this heat than I have ever wanted to, and yesterday was by far the worst. Its a long story for another time, lets just say there are a lot of people on this planet nowadays that are beyond ignorant and wrapped up in themselves. To top it all off the air conditioning in my little Subaru is not keeping up.
We'd had problems with it when I first bought the car, took it back to the dealership (one I completely would not recommend - but again long story for another time) they worked on it and it's been okay for a few years now. This was definitely not the time for it to fail. Especially as I have been doing far more driving than I want to do. Toasty is an understatement. Next week we will worry about getting it looked at, I don't have anywhere to go today, and I am fairly certain I am taking advantage of that fact.
Today feels like a day for inside, lots of water and rest. My head is still hurting from the hours in the hot sun and my spirit is weary. I have things I should do, but feel that today will be hydration and knitting. I might even finally quilt. Or... and this is far more likely, my conscience is going to kick in and I will get busy on the to do list that has been shoved in the corner repeatedly over the past few weeks.
Next weeks Hubs is taking vacation, he will be working solid over the following three weeks and will not be able to take our anniversary (23 years! And they said it would never last) or my birthday off. Which is our usual routine. It feels like when we were newlyweds and his work ate up so much family/couple time.
While he is on vacation we are going to take our little Belle back to see her surgeon. She's still favoring her leg and it actually seems to be getting worse not better. I'm praying that she is just fine and it's all part of the healing process, but her surgeon felt it was best to bring her in as she shouldn't be backsliding. Momma's little girl shouldn't be hurting at this point. Time to investigate.
I'm sure we will spend a few hours finally finishing up the truck (bumper is coming in on Monday) and then we will definitely find some time for play. Maybe take our pups on a couple of adventures and possibly even a splash day. I guess some of that will depend on the weather. The heat is supposed to pass, but the rain is following it. We'll see, it might just be a great time to veg at home and get some serious relaxing in. Staycations are pretty darn nice.
I guess I'll go boil some water for another cup of coffee while I settle in and do something semi mindless for a bit. I hope everyone is getting ready for an amazing Independence day, I would love to take in some fireworks, but not so sure that will happen. The pups aren't fans of the noise and we don't risk Beau getting so stressed he has a seizure. We will celebrate just the same, but a bit quieter.
Have a great day! Stay cool!
much love,
b
