Where is this summer going?

It has been a long time since I did a post. I have been working like crazy.
I have more sewing than I want this time of year! Now that the gardens are starting to produce I am trying to keep the sewing caught up (I am a self employed seamstress) so there is time to do some putting up of the vegetables.
We have been eating a lot from the garden, beginning with the lettuce that is now done. There must be a dozen smallish zucchini to grate and put in the freezer. We had BLTs, for supper tonight using tomatoes from the garden. Boy, they were good along with the cuccumbers in dressing. The beans are just now beginning to produce so the pressure canner will be dragged out of the cupboard soon

Daisy's cats were sick and she had me take them to the vet's for care several times. My hours are flexible and that's what Moms do for their kids. She had to have one euthanized and it was buried here along with countless others. It was not an easy week.

Tomarrow and Saterday the plans are to haul mulch since the weather has cooled off. I have tons of mulch, literally and what a blessing to have had it all delivered when tree trimmers were working in the area last fall. I hope my grandson Rylan will help me. We both need the exercise. A lot of the gardens have been weeded and some even renovated (ripped plants out and put new in) and all we have to do is put a nice heavy layer of mulch on the ground.

I have to remind myself to pray and have faith that all will work out as some things worry me more than when I was medicated with an antidepressant. I am still adjusting to no longer taking the Effexor Sometimes I get scared when before I was always confident that all was well. Funny what a pill will do! I had four days with depression this week that spurred me to start taking sAME. I really don't want to take an antidepressant as it has side effects I don't want to deal with.

Well, this long winded post should make up for the lack of posts lately!
