began at 5:40 am when i was woken by a furry paw tapping my face for breakfast. she fell right back to sleep, but by the time i fell back asleep it was time to wake up.
after doing the usual morning stuff, i picked sugar snap peas and basil to go with my lunch. i'm amazed the peas are still producing with the heat we've been having.
something's eating my basil again this year...
breakfast was an apple and plantain tea. the tea helps ease the pain from a bladder condition i have called interstitial cystitis. coffee is one of the main agitators because of its acidity, so i haven't had any since the start of my flare-up about a month ago. grrr.
it was a hot one today... the temperature read 86° at 8 am! coming home it read 104° yowza!
there's my exit... (don't worry, i was very careful taking photos in my car - just pointed and clicked.)
(i like how these folks re-purposed automobile chairs.=)
oscar greeted me when i got to the porch. he's so sweet.
the kids and i played outside, took a walk around the neighborhood, painted, blew bubbles...
then made peanut butter and fruit sandwiches for lunch.
i had leftover raw pizza and salad. the pizza was so yummy, the kids kept asking me for more bites!
after babysitting, i made a pit-stop to pick up biggles' favorite coconut oil.
they were all out but i grabbed some other things on sale. i also had a 20 percent off coupon.=)
when i got home i found my csa newsletter in the mail. the season starts monday - woohoo!
using the roasted pepper hummus i had just picked up, i made john and myself a snack.
then i laid down in bed to unwind and fell asleep.
when i awoke from my nap it was time to water the thirsty plants.
our zucchini has taken off and is starting to produce fruit.
the echinacea will soon be blossoming, finally. i started the seeds in april of 2010!
john watered the home garden with the hose since our rain barrel has been empty for over a week now. we're supposed to get rain this weekend *fingers crossed*.
i rode my bike to water our plots at the community garden.
most plants are doing well, except the nasturtiums. this is my third year trying to grow nasturtium with no luck. hmph.
on the bright side, this is my first year with pole beans and they are starting to vine.
when all the watering was done i picked veggies to go with our dinner - sugar snap peas, kale and sweet peas.
din-din was a scrumptious stir-fry over quinoa. i don't like to use my stove often so i made enough quinoa for veggie sushi to have another night.
my day tomorrow will look pretty similar, except i'll be going swimming after babysitting. it's supposed to be even hotter. ugh. two heatwaves and it's not even summer yet!
