My fur baby ran out the door barking like she owns the world this morning - She is on the road to recovery and this is the first time she acted like her old self. But I think it hurt her because now she is crashed in her spot on the couch. Poor baby. we take her to the vet tomorrow to see how the healing is coming along.
The attacking dog's owner is being responsible and called the vet to put the charges on his credit card. That is good, but I wish he'd see that his dog is not quite the pet he thinks it is.
My weight was up a couple of pounds these past few days, but It dropped back down this morning. I started eating bread again, so I don't know if the slight gain was from lack of sleep, stress, or too much bread. My eating was not compliant with McDougall plan at all. I think I am ready to get back into it again.
I was going to make some potato salad to go with some baked beans that I had made. While I boiling potatoes, I thought I'd do extra amd make a curry dish that I make with onion, carrot, potatoes and peas. But I was too busy doing other things while the potatoes were cooking and they got over done. So, I turned all the potatoes into mashed. I had about 12 cups of mashed potatoes. So, I have been eating mashed potatoes, mashed potatoes, and some more mashed potatoes.
My garden is doing okay this year, but we have bunnies in our area and they seem to be liking our green beans. We are spraying liquid fence around our garden and hopefully, that will keep them out.
I planted carrots, rainbow carrots. But was not having any luck with them growing. Yesterday, I went out to weed the garden and saw that the section of just plain ol' orange carrots were starting to grow. (no luck with the rainbow carrots) I neglected weeding thet area because I thought the carrots were not going to come up, but SURPRISE, we have carrots growing. I spent about 4 hours weeding the garden. Sometimes I think our garden is too big. Here it is July, and I do not yet have the walkways mulched, which means I have to get out there and weed.
Our greens section is coming in great. The rain beat up the lettuce, but I weeded it and gave it some lovin' and it seemed to have perked up. I remarked to hubby that I think that plants respond positively to getting some tender loving care.
I love watching the garden plants grow, especially when they have that growth spurt and seem to just double in size overnight. Our corn is doing well considering it was all blown over from high winds a few weeks ago. The roots were intact so I went out and straightened them up mounded the roots a bit. i just wish the weeds would stop responding to my TLC I am giving the garden.
