No Fooling Around
Thu Aug 11 2011


Today is ‘get down to business’ day.

I’ve been fooling around, [read having fun] doing knitting experiments and playing with some new watercolor tools long enough.

The house needs attention.

So it’s laundry, throwing stuff out, clearing out old papers and shredding them, making a Goodwill pile AGAIN, and right after I take this break to blog a bit, I’m tackling the refrigerator.

Expiration dates WILL be examined.

Science experiments WILL be banished.

Order will ensue.

It’s about time!

Well, *I* have my limits too Red, so don’t get pushy.

I went to the art supply store the other day and broke down and bought a small set of watercolors in tubes. It was on sale for 30% off that day... Score! And I bought two waterbrushes. They are paint brushes with a plastic handle that holds water so you don’t have to dip it all the time. They are very nice. I think I will used them a lot. Though there are times you want a ‘dry’ brush to pick up color or get a real intense bit of color on certain places, and the waterbrush won’t really let you do that. But as an overall handy brush, I can’t fault it.

I’m watching the green tomatoes growing larger and larger out in the garden. A few of them are starting to turn color. If all goes well, I should have enough to can, and for that I am very grateful.
Well, back to the list of things to do today. Tomorrow is knitting group and I will be going up the road to do a cat sitting job in the afternoon also, plus grocery shopping.

I’ll have a virtually empty fridge within the hour.

It will need to be filled with fresh stuff.

It never ends around here.

(You can say THAT again....)

    I am SO impatient to can the tomatoes. They are all sooo green still. I've got like 150 plants, so hopefully there will be enough to can. Each plant is kind of sorry looking though, most of them have only two tomatoes! Ack!

    It's about time we had a decent tomato harvest, don't you think? The last few years have just been miserable tomato years-- especially last year! I got my first BLT of the year as my birthday dinner on Monday. I had to skip the L, and peel and seed the tomatoes, but it was worth it! I loved it so much I had two. Two more for dinner the next night!

    I'm so jealous. I've got to find a way to convince the condo association that tomatoes are really decorative flowers.

    You had to go and remind me about the frig.

    All I can think to say is OY!

    And maybe ICK.

    Its about the cycle of life drawer.

    What? You've never heard of a cycle of life drawer?

    Its really quite simple. It is the drawer where you put vegetables you truly plan to eat, but manage to forget, that rot and turn into compost so you can fertilize next year's garden so you can grow more vegetables to put in the drawer. :)
