Just touching base.

I'm pleased to say that I'm back down again. Come on 320; I know I can do this!

All this driving back and forth and back and forth, well, it's not pleasant. But it serves a good purpose. I do want to see my offspring succeed!

We've been picking beans, not as many as I would like but plenty to have a few meals. There's been more radishes and we've had our first carrots, yum. And there's loads of green tomatoes on the vines, very happy! A few of our yellow cherry toms have given us a bit and they're so good! Blackberry has taken root and is sprouting new vines, this too is good. And much to my surprise I will get to see the clems this year bloom. :) I wish you could see the size of the cuke leaves. These things are so large! I never imagined they would be the size of platters. Returning to a hobby that I had thought I had long forgotten, since it was a part of my short lived youth, has been so rewarding and I find myself eager to work in the dirt and participate in growing these delightful greens. It has been a great comfort.

Summer is flying faster by than I would like but I do think that is in part to me getting older and entering this new phase of life. It's like I have one foot in one door and the other in the other door. All this pushing and pulling is a challenge and I also can understand how some mothers become weary from the heaviness of worry. You do worry did I do enough, did I fail them in some way, will they make it. Ok enough I won't wear you all out with what's going through my heart and mind. ;-)

Point is, I am happy where I am currently at.
