Busy, busy weekend. There was lots of yardwork, some cooking, some baking… no cleaning (who wants to scrub kitchen and bathrooms? Oops, no one).
The kids and I went to the Farmers Market. Turnips are amazing. Also, cherries – I think these may have been the best sweet cherries I’ve ever had. We tried a new ice cream vendor at the market (very rich, too sweet for me, but flavors were good). We bought some exotic bagels. We also bought some very exotic cheese.
Kids wanted me to buy some exotic mushrooms, too, but I figured maybe next time, after I look up some recipes and have a better idea of what to look for.
The 7-year old, after staring at the mushrooms very intently, asked (super-serious, furrowed brow and all): “Are these all edible?” There was an awkward pause, then the mushroom guy nodded and said “I wouldn’t sell the other kind”. Kids seemed satisfied with the response.
We planted a couple of cucumber plants from my dad. We also put up a trellis-like thingy in the garden because Hannah beans have sprouted and will need support.
Peas are almost done. Lettuce is still going, and so is kale (although something – slugs? – keeps chewing up the leaves).
Kids got me to play “Hero Quest” board game that the grandparents brought over a few weeks ago. Not my thing. The possibility of being killed by goblins or demons is super stressful. I need to get over myself – really, what a wimp, it’s only a game – and I think I could learn to enjoy it once I get over this stupid anxiety. (The avatar death-anxiety is probably why I never got into video games except for Myst-like stuff, where you don’t die).
Sunday night, I felt so tired I could barely move. Ugh, I need more sleep.
