I have an unidentified growing vegetable (plant) in my garden...it grew last year and I basically ignored it. This year, I put a little plant food on it and it is thriving. Considering it is obviously a perinneal, Im thinking collard green...but Im not sure. I think I will take a leaf to the grange and ask to have it identified. Hate to see a good edible plant go to waste.
The hub and I are planning to return to the river campsite next weekend for a couple of days. The campground is hosting a music festival with about 15 bands over a three day period. We will buy tickets for one day...and then just enjoy the river the other day or two. The one day tickets are $20 and the campsite is $16 per night. So for both of us, the weekend will cost $72 plus gas to get there.
The hub heard that they are starting to hire again up on the slope in Alaska, so he is applying. He loved the routine of working 4 weeks on, two weeks off...and so he is really hoping to get rehired. I have mixed feelings about this, but ultimately, if it is what he really wants, I will support it.
Last night, a group of us took my friend, who recently lost her son, to dinner. She is struggling to understand how she is supposed to go on without him. I tried to just listen...and offer support. Everyone else left and she and I stayed until the restaurant closed- I just let her talk and tried to reassure her that she did the absolute best she could have done for him. Sadly, the 'what if Id done it different' thoughts are creeping in for her. It was so terribly sad- as she did everything she possibly could have done for him. sigh.
My corn is thriving, I have sunflowers growing, and the rest of the garden looks good...so I am hopeful we will have fresh homegrown veggies soon!!
Super glad the weekend is here. Plan to enjoy every second!
