Hope you go for it!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-24229651079818929872010-07-20T06:33:49.744-05:002010-07-20T06:33:49.744-05:00You garden is beautiful.

We're definitely a whole month ahead this year. Can't help but wonder what kind of a fall this will make??<br /><br />Leigh - Thank you! No serious harm done in my shenanigans trying to get up off the cot. Just a little humility pounded in when I think that I used to be able to use those lean and mean leg muscles to thrust me straight up . . . and now they don't seem to work quite as well.<br /><br />Patty - Thanks, m'dear. Isn't it fun to be able to base whole meals around garden produce and wild foods gathered? Besides being as nutritious as you can get!<br /><br />Erin - We are absolutely dying in our 80+ degree heat. Can't imagine how you're surviving in your temps. (But then you ARE enjoying TOMATOES!)<br /><br />I keep thinking my balance is so good because my center of gravity (aka ballast) is so low to the ground. I'm built for comfort, not speed.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-43797975410335765922010-07-19T10:02:05.494-05:002010-07-19T10:02:05.494-05:00the garden really looks wonderful!

It REALLY needed it and it doesn't seem to be cooling off at night, so I just did it and hope to get those "inside things" done the rest of the day so I can take my "ballast" in a chair tonight and do some reading!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-52552365428146261442010-07-19T09:30:14.442-05:002010-07-19T09:30:14.442-05:00You two are too funny!

Room and board!<br /><br />Love the image of you on the cot! I would have had to do the same thing to get out, and probably would have broken the cot to boot. Very tactful of your husband to use the term 'ballast.'Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.com
