Relaxing day off in the middle of the week

I had a really mellow day off today. It wasn’t jolly or cheerful or anything, and I guess I didn’t even get much done. It’s been raining here it seems like forever, and doesn’t show much sign of stopping, which is kind of frustrating. I would like to get a peek at the sun sometime soon.

The garden has yielded a little fruit. A couple handfuls of beans, enough for two servings. They were tasty. More are growing, but I think he beans just aren’t as productive as I had hoped. I picked a tomato Sunday afternoon. It was gold on the outside, yellow when sliced. It was delicious. We have many green ones on the vines; I only hope we can get some sun so they’ll ripen up soon. I’m hungry for home grown tomatoes. Maybe the plants we bought were a mix of red and yellow tomatoes - there was a variety spike for each. Today I picked the first pepper. Many more fruits are growing, so I’m hoping for some pepper dishes soon. The peppers are also yellow.

I worked in the office last week. DH and The Kid came along, and we all stayed at the parentals. I got my mom hooked up with e-mail. Her communicating computer has a tool that reads her e-mail aloud, so I’ve tried to e-mail her a couple of times since I got home. She was very excited about the e-mail. I will probably be going back in a couple of weeks. My employers are happy to have me up as much as I can be there, and it’s easier to go in the summer, when DH isn’t teaching.

Hi Lynda! Thanks for urging me to blog. I will try to be more regular.
