The heat is building up. The air conditioner is running full time now. Yesterday it was 91. Today it only got up to 88, because we had a thunderstorm and that lowered the temperature.
I've been working on the garden, to get all those darn weeds pulled. I want to be able to see what's growing. We had so much rain we couldn't get out there and work. Now, I'm pulling grass after it rains. It's the only time it's cool enough. And the ground is softer and the grass will come up.
I got all the vining plants cleaned up (squash, melons, zucchini), I'll get the tomatoes cleared up tomorrow. We have melons blooming and a few fruits growing. There are squash blooming too. The tomatoes are putting on flowers. The cucumbers are doing very well. Josh has been bringing 2 - 5 in each morning.
Ariel and I have been doing a lot of baking. Yesterday we made Red Velvet Cherry Whoopie pies. Yummy! I made a nice pork and rice casserole. Today Ariel made beef pot pie for lunch. That was yummy too.
Living life in rural Arkansas with my husband Johnnie and stepson Joshua. Johnnie and I both have Parkinson's disease. This makes life a challenge, but we're living a full life with each other as best we can. We really enjoy living in the woods. We spend our days making things, eating good food, watching a movie or two on TV. We enjoy learning new things and keeping our life focused on the positive.
