Monday morning and rain....I don't think we will get a lot but it will probably put a halt to lawn mowing. That is okay. I had rather mow it towards the end of the week and would like to slowly get it back there. I was mowing on Fridays for a while, then we had a dry spell where I didn't mow for a month or over. Next came rain for several days and I had to grab the chance to mow...which happened to be a Monday, and Monday it has been for a while.

I have been in a horrible mood...can't stand myself even. I think about quilting and taking pictures but that is as far as it goes. Ever since I discovered I had cut my lining too short for the log cabin quilt top, I have just been out of the mood.

I have tons of laundry to do...got off track with that the past few days also. All last week I suffered with that just totally exhausted feeling every day. I had some place to go every single day, and even though it was nothing much to do, I would come home totally wiped out. I went to the library and my back hurt so bad that I didn't stay long enough to even make a nice selection of books.

I went to my younger daughter's another day for a couple of three hours, we did not do anything other than visit, and I came home exhausted. I get to feeling like a hypochondriac, but I don't think I am. I have not been to a doctor in over a year. Not for anything. Wouldn't a hypochondriac be running to the doctor?

I went to some yard sales with my older daughter Saturday--neither one of us found any treasures. No, I take that back. There was a woman selling iris bulbs for a $1 each and I bought three. I have not planted them yet....that is something else I need to do in the next day or two.

We celebrated our 31st anniversary today--just the two of us. Another fishing trip. My choice. I think hubby felt sort of strange, but that is really what I wanted to do. We did try a couple different creeks...one I really, really like. I want to go back there through the week--might go by myself. The other is a nice creek, but I don't have luck there. I think this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd time going there...it has probably been 10 or 11 years since I last went to it. We didn't catch anything to brag about at either place--not in number nor in size. But it was still a pleasant way to spend the day.

I told my brother I think fishing is relaxing to me because when I fish, I concentrate on fishing. I am always thinking of what lure I want to try next, what color, or where I am going to cast. Fishing is one of the few things that keeps me really focused.

I was gone all day yesterday--just running around. Went down to the south end of town to see my friends little house that she is working on. It is tiny, but she wants to move to it because it will be less to take care of as she gets older.

From there I went HERE This is not a fancy website and needs to be updated...but it contains several pictures I have taken. It is my former place of employment...I just went to visit with the owners...it was and still feels like my home away from home. It felt like home the first time I set foot on the place 20+ years ago--and I worked there for 19 years. Only part-time, but most of the years were part-time year round...there is always something to do. Pruning, preparing for the coming season, planting new trees, cutting down old trees, etc. Go to PHOTOS and look in the album titled Orchard and see more pictures from there.
Today I got up and went to my daughter's house and we did 15 dozen ears of corn...we blanche it, cut it off the cob, bag it and freeze it. They love it...we did Six dozen ears last weekend and she is still not sure this will be enough. I told her she would be lucky if it lasted till winter.


I also got to see the baby kitties again....I am in love! They are so cute. I plan to get one soon as they are old enough.
