No, I’m not tripping. If my readership of 1.5 recalls, there were these large mushrooms (at the school on the way to A’s). Yesterday they had opened up to these umbrellas!
Also, while gardening I discovered this starfish! Actually, two types of okra which are finally maturing. Good thing Avdi likes okra! Without the kids here, we can fix whatever we want.
The water has receded, but the garden is a total weed jungle! It was hot and humid, but since my work inside was done, I tried to restore some order outside. I’m recycling cardboard boxes by laying them down between rows on top of the stubborn weeds. I did some more weeding and found some more veggies struggling to make it. The “afterthought” tomato row is really thriving. I cleaned up the herb garden and trimmed back some of the giant flowering plants.
Avdi and Jess were working in the office, kid-free, so I tried to be as quiet and unkidlike as possible! Later, Avdi and I went to the hardware store–I know , exciting, but any outing not involving working around kids is refreshing.
Today will be a different kind of erev, not featuring the usual preps. We may just go out for dinner! The freedom!
