You know you are tired when....

I will try to make this my last post about winters of six months and its effects, however, I cant resist sharing this one.  I thought it would be a good idea to dye my hair this morning and have a brighter, less gray look for the day.  I have been dying my own hair with more or less the same process for over 20 years,,,,

As I got in the shower after leaving the product in for the prescribed amount of time, I looked at what should have been container 3, and it read 2!  Yikes, will my hair fall out, is it going to be the colour an texture of Rod Stewarts. Next thought, even putting on your glasses didnt help this time, need to have a more relaxed day.  Having brunch at Neechi commons, a meeting with the WEST crew and off to Brandon this afternoon. I think it is early to bed with a good book for the next 2 nights.


Oh yes, so far, nothing has fallen out, and I cant see any resemblance to a Rooster yet...stay tuned.  So happy for the sun and predicted temperatures today and this week.  Fingers crossed.

Late August and the heat wave continues

Well after a month away from the real job, i should be feeling accomplished, well rested and like I have really offered my child lots of one on one quality time.  Hummm....somehow none of that has happened.  Parenting on my own continues to throw challenges to my abilities to stay the course, go with the flow of my mental schedule for gardening, pottery and rest having vey little to do with reality.

I am not quite sure to blame my back flaring up on, but it has, so this has slowed me down considerably too.  Did I mention that it was 30 plus degrees again today, so no canning or jamming has occurred in this non air conditioned house, and quality sleep has been elusive since we left the hotel in Orlando.

Little man seems to be struggling to get over this strep, so this mama better get to bed, so I can have smiles and energy for tomorrow.  My  mom used to have a saying,,,,itès a great life if you dont weaken.  It now makes so much sense.  See this wildness in the garden..its not tidy, but it sure is full of food.
