Hi Everyone.
Sorry I have been so absent from the pages. I don't really know why, but I have pulled back from the computer a lot this year. Anyways, I still care about you all and I will try to make more effort.
Congrats Sean, feeling better Paddy I hope, happy birthday recently Lucy, glad you keep things going here Em, and I chuckle about the hurling match Marie. Hurling is slang for throwing up from too much beer over here. Hah, I'm sure that is not what your nephew's hurling match is about.
My garden is good this year. Except the strawberries, I should of plowed them down and set out new ones last year. But I have great potatoes, tomatoes are on now, green beans, carrots, ate corn this week, enough salad greens that I feel like a rabbit, and it keeps growing. Lots of beets, turnips, squashes will be ripe in the fall and I have several watermelons ready to eat just about, I think. I hate picking them too early or late. I will try my best to always be able to garden to some degree.
We are having a real string of clear weather here of late following a wet rainy July. We did get hay in the barn last weekend for the horses. I don't even know why we still have horses cause we don't ride them very often. Anyways, it was late in the season for the hay because it was so rainy this summer.
Bedtime soon. I get tired but I want to go to sleep but I am the king of toss and turn. Just get comfortable it seems and sleeping and then I awake with a cramp or have to go to bathroom. Sometimes I wake up with achy joints and back and some nights feel like they go on forever. Mr. Nightime is not my friend this summer.
I hope all is going ok for everyone over there. Or at least as good as possible.
Best to you all
