Long Saturday

It was a late start to the day, but that was a good thing, because it meant that all the traffic and crowds and things in Harrison were completely missed. I appreciated that, because I really hate heavy traffic and crowds. I'm a bit too much of a hermit, I guess. Got a lot done though - some writing, some money earning online, laundry, groceries, lunch, and got everything home and in the house. All's also put away other than the laundry, because I'm just too pooped now that everything else of importance is done.

I got my first little beefsteak today. It's only a few ounces, but it's mine, off the Arkansas Traveler plants, and another is blushing. Seeds are going to be saved from them, for next year. Reminds me, found a mid-sized popup greenhouse with the plastic cover at TSC for a reasonable price. Once I get a good paycheck again in a week or two, I'll have to see if they still have any on summer clearance and get one. I forget the price, but it was well under the usual price for them. I can keep it in the box and have it for next year. Oddly, Quentin was the one who spotted it and he usually takes little to no interest in the plants and things. He likes country living, but homesteading per se is somewhat beyond him, I think. Me, I am all for it, loving it all, in spite of the hardships and inconveniences. It's mostly a good deal of fun, no matter the hard work.

I should also mention that my beans and corn are trying desperately to grow. I have some radishes trying to keep going in this miserable weather that can't make up it's mind, along with a whole ONE large cherry tomato and a handful of carrots. The squash all died, barring the one that keeps putting out all male blooms and doesn't go anywhere as a vine, lol. The squash are a disappointment this year, and that's sad when so many of my gardening buddies are having bumper crops!

I'm really tired, so I'm going to finish this up and take a nap. Hugs, all!
