Gardens - Today was a good day, sunny but not too hot. Saturday is also the day to visit the local farmer's markets. I went to the one in downtown Traverse City first, picked up 4 heirloom tomato plants and some lettuce plants. Then I visited Skegemog Farms, one of our new farmer's markets, picked up some Chocolate Mint, Pineapple Mint and cherry tomato plants.
My husband helped me finish filling the raised beds we built last summer and put up the fence poles to put up the vining crops on. We planted a Gooseberry bush in the center of my two tiered stone planter, put the lettuce plants into the half whiskey barrel planter and transplanted some zucchini.
Cooking - I didn't cook today. I picked up Little Caesars pizza for lunch. Since we couldn't agree on what toppings, we bought 3 pizzas plus bread sticks. Bill (husband) wanted Italian Sausage, Neal (son) wanted ham..... and I wanted mushroom. Warmed up pizza is what's on the menu for dinner
Crafts - The time I planned on working on crafts today was put to use by me taking a nap. Maybe I'll have time to work on a cross-stitch or an afghan tonight. Although I still have a flannel shirt to deconstruct for material to make ground pad/coverlets for my Boy Scouts
Boy Scouts - Didn't actually do anything today that relates specifically to them. We do have a camping trip coming up next weekend, so I need to get back to work on typing up (entering to the MasterCook program on my computer) more Dutch Oven/Camping recipes for them to plan their menus from. We are going north next week to take part in the Sturgeon for Tomorrow program. The big fish are in the rivers spawning and we will be on Sturgeon Guard, trying to prevent people from poaching.
The Patient - I was diagnosed in late October 2006 with leukemia. It's currently in remission. Chemotherapy... and all the other wonderful treatments I went through to get it into remission took a lot out of me.... and I still don't have the energy I once had (hence the afternoon nap after what I used to consider minimal activity).
Today was a pretty good day. Started the day with a bit of a sore throat, but it's gone now. Left knee hurts (had surgery on it last August) but it's tolerable.
