Country:
Too nice here to go back to city. A reasonable temp and breezy all day -two days. Yesterday I did the Farmers' Market and knew I was going to be wiped out so when a friend said she would like to go pick strawberries I offered to drive her ; better than sitting in a state of collapse for the rest of the day. So I packed up (only sold one pot!!!) and drove to mill where I offloaded enough to make room for the second human and picked her up for our little adventure.

About 25 minutes to the strawberry farm where, having bought a whole flat that morning, I found A) they are sprayed and B) they had a far superior type at the farm. G decided not to pick and we each bought a basket of the better berries. I ate a bunch while waiting for G who talks a LOT! Then we went to the superior bakery nearby and I bought a choc mousse cake- frozen; will be treats for at least a month. Then to an organic farm for a few veggies and back to drop her off and to the mill about 4:30. THEN I collapsed into a near stupor. read, dozed, ate cheese and crackers, read, dozed, and went to bed at 10.

Up by 6:30: weeded my little garden, eliminated as much purple loosestrife as I saw; will do it again and again, found curtains for the kitchen - this took some search and organize efforts, ate, read, and made it to the studio where I worked from about 2 - 5. Then went off to either buy apples or applesauce OR find Geri. Found Geri and we went to supper with another friend, a lengthy process. Came home and, in the cool of the eve, I cut most of the weeds in an area about 50x50 with the scythe. A great improvement as they were almost waist high!
I coughed most of the day but it was still a very good day!
