Day 6: Saturday
Today was a great day to sleep in, hang around the house and garden and talk with neighbors. Spent a fun day relaxing, watched a couple of movies, and had some friends over tonight for gaming. I, of course, play a Druid in D&D and it's lots of fun to play and write a story with our friends.
I finished my project and uploaded my final for the Permaculture class. Now I would like to find another challenge, another place to design and work toward teaching abundance, food security, and sustainability. I look forward to where this new perspective on everything will take me.
For house projects today, I gathered together laundry and washed, dried, hung up and folded everything I could find in this house that needed to be cleaned. With everything for the week ready to go, tomorrow I work on the next project - gathering all paperwork, books and magazines to the basement to sort, trash, donate and shred where appropriate.
One project a day seems to work well - nice days on outdoor projects, and rainy days on indoor projects. The difference this time, is that when these bigger indoor projects are done - I won't have to do them again. There won't be a junk drawer or closet left untouched and when I'm done, there will only be what is necessary and needed.
For today's pictures - veggies and fruit from the garden. The perennials are growing: trees, vines, berries, nuts, and other plants. The raised beds change day to day. We dug up the red potatoes and canned 27 pint jars for winter. The other beds have a variety of plants - we keep trying a few different things in each to find what will grow best for us. The squashes are thriving this year and I am looking forward to a pumpkin harvest in the autumn. Our cherry tomatoes are just starting to flower and the canning tomatoes just might make it.

Your garden looks beautiful, Michele. Such magic in the growing of things. Reminds me, I should document our garden a little too. I go out there every night and pull off all the dead male squash blossoms, pick a tomato or two, and just really, really enjoy being out there. I love summer!
