Memorial Day Weekend

But it feels more like Labor Day.  Mac has most of the old pool down and I've been polishing floors, making bread and cleaning out my painting/crafting area.  Wound up a bunch of yarn balls and carried stuff upstairs to my messy craft room---its next.
Going to be hot today, around 94º so trying to get everything done early so we don't melt.
Have quite a bit more energy since I got my B-12 shot, they help a lot.  Been taking them for a couple of years and they make a difference.  When I first started taking them I took them in my upper arm alternating between left and right.  The right one was fine, but the left one was always sore and miserable for a week or more, not the injection site, but the whole muscle.
After about a year I talked to the doctor about taking it in the upper hip instead.  I've had no problems since then.  I've read that the shot needs to be at body temperature and injected slowly.  I'm working with new nurses, but so far they've been great.
The first tomatoes of the season, cherry tomatoes.  We never have much luck with tomatoes, this plant will probably croak now that it's given us a few, but I'll enjoy what I have.
Some more Gladiolas too!

  1. My mother hated cherry tomatoes; especially when I process them to fill up a jar for the canner.

  6. I do like your little piggy. Mmmm, you can't beat home grown tomatoes, mine are a way off yet but I'm looking forward to them all the same.

  13. I gave my first tomato to my honey this morning as a birthday present! I'm surprised it made it into the house without me helplessly popping it into my own mouth.
    The painting in your header surprised me. I'm used to seeing anImals I guess.

    1. It's not something he'd paint on his own, but he did it for me. She hangs on the stairs by another lovely lady.

  14. I've never had much luck growing tomatoes, so now I just buy them at the farmer's market.
