Nice day

Today I've done exactly what I wanted to do. And a whole bunch of nothing, lol. I got up early and got the laundry on the line since it's been such a nice day. Lots of sun, cool breeze and not to hot. I'm afraid days like this are numbered since it's the middle of July and it's not typical July weather. Yet. Personally, I would be happy if the rest of this month and August stayed like this. This is my kind of weather! Since the oldest has a few days off this week, I've had him and the youngest out in the garden weeding. The weeds are so bad that I can't see where the veggies are! He's been good about working on the carrots and is going to start the radishes tomorrow. I would show a pic, but I'm ashamed of how bad the garden looks this year :( That and the fact that the groundhog is just having a feast in there. I saw today that the leaves and the tops of the green beans are gone. I have a few beans hanging, but not sure how much we're going to get this year. I've already told hubby that next year we are sinking fencing into the ground, 3 feet, like everyone has told me so maybe this won't happen next year. It looks like the only thing that is safe is the tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, onions, and chives. But on the bright side, there are some zucchini that should be ready in the next day or so and I saw some tomatoes hanging on the vines. Hubby picked a hot pepper yesterday and made a chutney with it. Some green watery stuff with the pepper and onions. Haven't seen anything going on much with the cucumbers yet. The peas are climbing all over themselves. We have to string something for them to climb on tomorrow.

All day today I've wanted to take myself shopping. But, I was good and stayed home. Kept myself busy reading most of the day. Took advantage of the nice day and have been on the swing outside most of the afternoon. Until the mosquito's started chewing on me! So, I think tomorrow I will take myself to my favorite store, since it's half price day. I've been really good, I haven't been there since hubby got back from India. So a treat is in order for me.

I was planning on grilling outside, but it's clouding up outside. Not supposed to rain, but who knows. Maybe I'll cook everything inside and we can go outside to eat. That might be nice. Have to light a citronella candle while we're out there though. Not going to have anything fancy, just chicken, mashed potatoes with chives from the garden and a veggie, since it's cool. I'll save the quick meals for when it's really warm outside. I was looking at the herb garden and that seem to really have taken off to. Well, what the groundhog hasn't eaten, lol. Went shopping today and hit a really good meat sale, so I stocked up. We're set for a while now. Forgot tomatoes when I was out. I was wanting tomatoes and onions with fresh basil. Have to remember to get them tomorrow so I can make that tomorrow night. Tomorrow is Bible study and we are going. I haven't been in 3 weeks, have to get back into the routine. Knitting is Thursday, going to that to even though I've only made a few things for the dishes. Oh well, something is better than nothing!
