Friday, 7/29/11 We begin. On the road at 5:50. Were shooting for 5 am but who were we kidding? The cooler needed to be packed, which always takes more time than you think, regardless of the fact that I had everything ready to go inside bags inside the fridge and freezers. I don’t know [...] 
Garden Tomatoes. Can you ever have too many? Yes and no, is what I say. Yes, if you are buried under mounds of work and untended-to yard and garden chores. No, if you have all the time in the world. Like my kids seem to have… nevermind. I am told it is a bad [...] 
Thank you God, Thank you friends. Thank you, thank you. Morgan walked away from this car accident unharmed yesterday. Is it me, or is that a miracle? I’m so thankful and so grateful and so… zombie-like. I feel like I am walking in a dream underwater. We don’t know what happened. She remembers nothing. [...] 
May 20-something, 2008 – June 20, 2011 I’ve been trying to write this post for weeks now. I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since she died. In some ways, this has been my hardest animal loss because it was so unexpected and final. Most of our cats just disappear. We never know [...] 
It’s been — what? Two weeks? Three weeks? Did you miss me? According to my loving and supportive brother, there is likely no one out there anymore TO miss me. And that’s, well… that’s totally understandable. And I’d have to say it’s hard to believe there was ever anyone in the first place, so it’s [...] 
That is the question. A question, I hope, that I have answered, since we are now actively eating them. No one has died. No one has even gotten a stomach ache. So, hopefully we’ve ruled out botulism. I’m sure that inspires you not. But, who knows. You sit here reading this blog, don’t you? [...] 
(Insanity as in asparagus.) As I was working in the garden this weekend — planting almost the remainder of the seeds — it occurred to me that the date was June 5th. Or 6th. I’m still not sure of the date because Charlie was using my watch this weekend to referee a soccer game [...] 
(the most important day of the year.) We, in Minnesota, are in the midst of about the worst Spring ever. Rain, snow, frost, wind and more rain. It hasn’t been the best environment to garden in. It. Has. Been. Dismal. But on the most important day of the year, the sun shone. All day. [...] 
Yes, it was my BIRTHDAY today!! And after last year’s dismal performance, this year shined brightly. It was a great day. The sun was actually visible!!! I got sunburned!!! Anyway. I just had to share this gift that I got from my kids. And it wasn’t some, get-it-at-the-only-store-in-Watertown kind of thing. Morgan actually picked Charlie [...] 
And Asparagus Stalks All Over the Messy Row. Mary, Mary would have a hard time with this stage of the garden. Let me illustrate: 9 am: 4 pm: And finally, at 9 pm, right before I picked it: And, no, I didn’t touch the ruler all day. Isn’t that amazing? I [...] |
