it is a very welcome change after 92F... yesterday was high of 73F but it was too wet out to do much other than pick peas and pea pods.

since most lip balms are not compatible with me i had to make my own by using vaseline and vanilla extract. takes a bit of mixing to get it blended enough but it is better than plain vaseline... i don't need it very often but on windy dry days it helps. also helps a lot to make sure to drink...

it would be really nice to get all this weeding done today. i doubt i can but with a high of 78F in the forecast and sunny there's a good chance i can make a really good dent in this at last.

hopefully got the address situation resolved. county road commission never returned my calls all week so yesterday i talked to a different department in the county and he was helpful and within a few minutes said he'd work with whoever to get it changed back. we'll see how this goes...

this morning breakfast is peas and pea pods. i had to prep and cook them so i might as well eat some of them. :) plus now the floor of half my room is covered in drying pea pods that were too far gone to eat as fresh pods/peas.

we put them on the plate plain without a wrapper. no added carbs (or crabs which was how i first spelled that - haha! ).

weeding this morning for a few hours then a break before mowing. mowing went ok. yes it was hot and humid and the grass was still a little wet so that always makes it more of a mess but it got done (after i took a cool down break for dehydration and giving my legs a rest). cleaned up...

absolutely newp... fire in the hole x millions...

:) i'm about to finish up some beans that were cooked and then frozen and they're always good as a basic start for a bean burrito (usually with cheese, whole milk yogurt (sour cream is too thick for me and i prefer the tartness that the yogurt brings because of the next things i add on this...

haha! i'm a guy too and i also usually read ingredient lists and then want to put the thing back on the shelf. [i also have to add that normally just looking at the price tag will do that]

the place we love for their potato chips doesn't have a retail storefront but they do ship and have plenty of distributors... recently they came out with cheddar cheese flavor and we've enjoyed a few bags. very thick and crunchy. Great Lakes Potato Chip company in Traverse City MI. going...
