Summer Musings...

Well, I don't know about you all, but it is sure hot and sticky in my neck of the woods! It has pretty much been the same, rain and more rain!
I haven't been able to do much outside because of it. I did manage to sneak some weeding in, before it rained again.
My vegetables appear to be doing well. I am trying to keep the tomatoes "sucker free". I added some egg shells today.
I have a severe Aphid infestation in one of my gardens, I need to treat the area, but it needs to stop raining.
Trying to enjoy the weather, but I can't take the humidity.
I have still been working in here to clear things out more. Less is more, I need to keep telling myself that.
It is hard to let go of things that you have had for years. I don't know why, some things are harder, it is like saying good bye to an old friend.
I have been testing out some recipes, in fact, in a little while, I plan on making some home made blueberry muffins. I am still on my lifestyle change, but I like to make things for my family to enjoy. I do eat a little something from time to time.
I made bread by hand for the first time. It turned out alright for a first attempt.  It was Honey-oat bread.
A little flaky, but not bad.
I found a recipe for bagels that I want to test next. I have my list for things I need to get for this.It makes a dozen at a time. This would help save money and also my quest for healthier and knowing where things come from. I am getting to be more and more of a stickler here.
Also, I am planning for more time off. I did have a nice little break last week, but it flew right by. I didn't get half of what I wanted to done. The weather was not cooperative.
I took Brandon to see the new Monsters Inc movie, that was REALLY cute, but I was horrified to see how much concessions are these days and they also raised the ticket prices, even for the matinee.
Brandons treatments we are doing for his Scoliosis, are helping so thankfully, we are now down to one visit a week! I am so happy about this. It will help a lot!
Trying to figure out what to do for birthdays this year. I have one that will be 20 and one that will be 16.
I am hoping that we can keep it more simple, it seems like there is never enough time and money to do it all.
We had to have a plumber out recently to fix our sink, this happened 4 years ago, and then again, about two weeks ago. The plumber we found, thankfully, was less than the one we used prior. I was SO glad to have my sink fixed! I had to wash dishes in the bathtub. Not fun!
Well, I hope that you all have a great week.
