A pretty picture today (the site was selling the French jar). The lilacs here in Maine have weeks to go yet before they bloom. Today's rain is perfectly timed. I planted all sorts of flower and herb seeds yesterday and tamped them down firmly (I forgot to to that last year) and added cow manure. And now the rain. To moisten it all. Timing is everything and I am NOT usually right on it.
I have all the lamps turned on- the house feels dark today.
Grocery shopping was fine- as usual. Most of the people inside were doing Monday restocking. Everyone wears a mask. They had my milk. A good selection of yogurt for husband. The Deli guys were great. The baked ham was on sale so I got more than usual and some Finlandia Swiss. For little rollups as a lunch for me. I also bought seedless red grapes for my Fruit of the Week. Crisp and sparkling. I still have three of the grapefruit. And I finally ate the tub of Romaine hearts I had in the fridge. A BIG salad.
I got 3.3 pounds of pork for $3.29. Wow.
I don't usually buy meat but that seemed like an outrageously good buy. I'll cook it with vinegar, brown sugar and cayenne. It'll be great.
I did not read yesterday. I rested my eyes. I did not sew. And I forgot to see if the store had marked down jelly beans. I doubt it.
I kinda miss grocery shopping. Colin did most of it for the duration. Now I'm spoiled. A quick visit to whole foods the other day was overwhelming. They've really taken the gluten-free, keto, vegan thing way out there. I miss some of the decadent stuff, especially in the bakery.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your garden is going to be taking up a lot of your waking hours. How about a few chickens?
