Michelle, get a good day of sleep, or at least a long nap today. Congratulations on the fund raising! Kat, congratulations on getting the hospital to settle that debt. It's only fair. Andrea, don't spend the entire weekend vacuuming!

I have been getting up earlier every morning to use the cooler time to get work done. I went to bed at 9:15 last night and was up at 6 this morning. Zeke went home (Cinnamon is so disappointed!), I picked a bucket of mustang grapes, and I took the trimmer out and knocked down the weeds along the edges of gardens that get watered regularly. I have a push mower I'm going to use on the lawn, I don't need to fire up the gas mower for what amounts to a few grass seed heads.

This morning I also cooked up two batches of grape juice in the steam juicer. I have to clear out the fridge to make room for the juice until I make jelly, and I have to go shopping for pectin, lids, and sugar before that happens. I also have to can peaches.

A batch of laundry will go on the line out back in a few minutes. No rain in sight these days, though you'd think I could at least tempt it by hanging out laundry. Maybe I should wash the pickup instead.

Clearing up a couple of eBay items that didn't sell, and packing the rest (several sales end tomorrow, and it looks like I'll have to combine orders for one guy who bid on several different auction books.)
