A Restful Day

On June 27, I did my normal morning task. “the new normal. Walking around the garden, collecting Japanese beetles, eating strawberries, picking tomatoes, looking for hornworm damage, looking for hornworms, picking beans, and squash. Bruce and I also go look at the orchard and pick blueberries.”

Then, I went inside and read a the rest of day. I paused to make lunch and dinner.

We watched the lovely sunset.

  1. Interesting cloud formation! I have no clue what I was doing that day. I might be able to look at pictures and figure out a thing or two. I use my photo folders as a diary of sorts!

      1. I haven’t been able to establish a routine or schedule for posts here. Every day brings different inspirations and sometimes I can’t choose between them, so I end up doing nothing!
        But that’s the joy of social media! Right??!!

      2. It is the joy of social media. Sometimes, I just find myself without enough focus or interest to post. I try to pick what is interesting for my friends and at the same time helpful to me. It is easier for me since my focus is now gardening and cooking.

        I really need to do a cooking post. It has been a long time since I did one.

      4. I tried to keep up with other media when I first started blogging. I gave them up and only focus on my blog now. It was to much work for my retired self. 🙄

    It’s vital that you keep the verbs in the right positions on sentences like this.
