When my husband wears shorts every day, you know it must be hot. Just about the same with me. I'm kneeling so much in the garden working and harvesting that I wear long pants even when it's uncomfortably hot, but scratched, dirty, owie, bare knees have been the order of the day lately! Can't wait for a break in this suffocating stuff.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-63210734226468868642015-08-16T04:59:24.386-05:002015-08-16T04:59:24.386-05:00Ha!

There are a gazillion things in a day's time that I might rather be doing than the items on "The List" but I know, in the end, it always feels better to have accomplished what I first listed as most important.

It's fun to watch him out the window--he'll head off to the barn, bend to pull a weed, and the next thing you know he's off into a hundred different directions.<br />He never gets anything done. I think he has at least 15 different projects going on right now. <br />He'll tell you he's just an interesting person. I adore him and his little quirks.<br />Love the spice rack and jars and how you organize. You are one amazing lady. But if you're photographing something in the pantry, I do believe LAW says you have to take a pic of the scallopy shelves. You know how much I love those!!!<br />: )Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-71120278665223511672015-08-13T23:21:54.514-05:002015-08-13T23:21:54.514-05:00And that is exactly why all my plans go awry, I ge...And that is exactly why all my plans go awry, I get sidetracked by something else. But like you said at least you have your spices organized and a list of fresh ones you need to pick up.
