The three day weekend is almost over, and I must say that Michael and I have enjoyed it immensely.
I regret to say that I have tree blood on my hands. There were several small trees along our fence line that were obviously overgrown things that should have not gotten as big as they did. I have tried to make peace with the action by using the woody parts to build a rose trellis and I will also stake my tomato plants with them.
We have two tomato plants and two green pepper plants. The seeds that I thought didn't take are starting to sprout! Unfortunately, there are several weeds that are trying to come in with the seeds. I have to weed gently around the seedlings, or wait for the plants to become more established and pull the weeds then.
I am soooooo tempted to get herbicide. Grrrr.
I picked a small bowl full of strawberries from my strawberry patch, plucked off some spent buds and I imagine that there will be more strawberries in another week. They are quite good. A little tart, but a very nice treat. I think I'm going to make strawberry scones tomorrow morning.
I need to remember to put on sunscreen before I go out. My arms are getting darker than the rest of my body and I really would like them to lighten up before the wedding.
Tonight, Michael and I will work on the invitations. We are very excited. We are thinking to have a barbecue the night before ( since a rehearsal isn't necessary)
and the wedding will be on a Saturday Evening. We are still trying to figure out where we want to have it. We plan on a small reception, but the reception will be a potluck... no presents... we have everything we need... and possibly in the building that we are hoping to have the coffee kiosk in. A lot of people (in his family) are sort of freaking out because we don't seem to be making a big deal.
In the mean time, we garden a lot. I've been out of love with working out as of late, and so I've been trying to use the garden to get my work out. I chopped a patch of grass with the hedge trimmers today and actually broke a sweat. I think that I might regret it tomorrow, but at least I'll have great arms :P.
