Well, it's August 1. It's been a busy, sorta weird out of the ordinary summer. My son got married, which was the BIG thing - so I got to add another daughter to my growing household. I've had cataract surgery on one eye and am getting ready to have it on the other eye in another week or so. It's been hot hot hot, garden has not done well. No tomatoes. No beans. A few cukes, a few beets, some potatoes and onions, and that's been about it.
In other minutia:
I heard on the news last night that it's time to start your kids on their new sleep schedules to prepare for the beginning of school, but I've got news for you, it's not only kids that need that, it's me too. Because I tend to stay up late and then want to sleep late, I've got to get back to going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. My new schedule has me doing that starting today.
I need to change the frogs' water today - it's starting to reek. Yes, for some reason I ended up with two African clawed frogs - they've been kind of fun to watch. Next summer I'm "gifting" them to my brother who has a pond in his back yard - they can grow into monsters there. But for now, they are just enjoying my little 3 gallon aquarium - which reminds me, I need to buy a net as I can hardly catch them any more and once I do - they are slippery wiggly things I can't hang on to very well.
Family reunion at Rock Springs 4H camp went well. I appreciated visiting with all I don't get to see very often. Hug your family today - tell them you love them.
And from this spot in my tiny corner of the world, inhabited by a spouse, aquatic frogs, a struggling garden, kids, kid in laws, and grandkids, I wish you a good day!
