Today's harvest
My heirloom cherry tomato plants are huge! I think pretty soon we will have an over abundance of cherry tomatoes

I've been freakishly productive lately. Feeling reclusive and the need to reconnect with "home". This from the person who never really thought she was any good at domestic things. In the past couple of days, I worked on my garden. Weeding, harvesting, adding compost, and breaking up dirt to add more plants. The Farmers Almanac said today was good to plant root vegetables so I planted beets, more carrots, and radishes. I don't mean to sound like I know what I'm doing, because honestly I have no idea. I just go with it, try things out and log my results in a little cute journal I made (it was a good excuse to buy this cute veggie paper we got at the scrapbook store). I also baked fresh bread for the first time in my life yesterday. Granted it was with a bread machine, but still. It was good and I felt very proud. I've done oodles of laundry and other household chores. Tonight I made one of the best meals ever. I have finally perfected pot roast in the crock pot. It was freaking fantastic. I did all the dishes too. About 5 minutes ago I finished a class sample that I'm really loving. I even made TWO blog posts in a week! Now I need to return a ton of emails and do some business-ish work. Don't freak out on me, I'm not even pregnant. I think I'm just in a good groove right now. I need the personal growth.
