The down side of sleeping till so late is half the day is already gone by the time you wake up! I texted my daughter and messaged a friend, made myself a cup of coffee, went on-line for a bit, boiled manioc (cassava/yuca) for breakfast, and did the dishes.
Later in the afternoon, I started working on a project; I had some help, as you can see:
 |
| Helpful Kitty |
 |
| Dancer Keeping the Fabric Under Control |
Always ready to lend a helping paw!
 |
| Mummy's Little Helper! |
Later in the evening, I watered the front garden.
The vegetable seedlings are coming along quite well:
 |
| Tomato Plant |
 |
| Zucchini Plant 1 |
 |
| Zucchini Plant 2 |
 |
| Patty Pan Squash Plant |
One of my cousins phoned and I had a nice chat with her. She keeps in touch with many others and always fills me in on what's happening with family and friends.
Dinner was pasta, to which I added the last of the salmon, flaked. The tomato and onions in the salmon dish made up a sort of sauce for the pasta. Snacks were the last of the cherries and some crackers with peanut butter and a bit of my apple/pomegranate jam.
Today, I am grateful for:
- Being able to sleep in and catch up on my sleep
- Vegetable plants are coming up nicely
- A nice chat with my cousin
- A helpful kitty!
- Water for my garden

How was your Saturday?
You must have needed the sleep Bless. No point fighting it although I agree, the negative side of a good lie in is the day is cut short.
ReplyDeleteDancer is a beautiful looking pussy cat. Love how he's claimed your project.
The garden is looking good. Everything seems healthy and green. After a few days of rain we could do with some sun over here to encourage the flowers to open.
Hope you've had a lovely weekend and that all goes well at your appointment tomorrow. xx
Thank you, Suzanne. Yes, I've been getting about 6 hours of sleep a night, but I guess my body said it needed a bit more!
DeleteDancer can't resist when I sit down to do some craft project. He has to be there to see what I am doing and what he can do to "help"! Often, it involves plopping himself down on top of whatever it is! LOL.
I'll send you some of our sunshine (and heat, too, if you like - it's been in the upper 80s, these past few days) in exchange for some of your rain!
Have a lovely week!
Your garden is looking good, so nice when the tomatoes start flowering, you can start dreaming of nice juicy tomato sandwiches! Love Dancer!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I actually don't much care for the taste of raw tomatoes, but like to add them to various dishes that I cook. I'm a bit weird that way! LOL.
DeleteGlad you had some extra sleep. I've been catching up lately and I finally made some blackout liners for our bedroom drapes so that we don't get woken by the sun at 4.30 or 5 am! This really helps.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that Dancer is "on top of things" (literally) as usual!
Bushlady
Ha, ha, that he is, Bushlady! You can count on him to be on top of things! :D
DeleteGlad you are getting more sleep, yourself. I just need to go to sleep earlier, but that's not happening!
Your garden is looking good. Before you know it, you'll be harvesting vegetables.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Live and Learn. I'm looking forward to harvesting something! Hopefully!
DeleteSounds like your body was telling you that it really did need all the extra sleep. I'm glad you listened to it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat Dancer kitty, what a good little helper he is. ;)
Your plants are looking really good. I have a tomato plant that is in distress and I cannot figure out why as all the other plants are doing well. I'm doing what I can to revive it, but we shall see if it helps.
Yes, I guess I really needed the sleep. Dancer is a very good helper kitty! I hope you are able to revive your tomato plant. They tend to be fussy, in our weather - gets too hot for them and then they don't produce well.
DeleteWell, like I have already said, you have had a very busy week. You needed that sleep. As for the housework, you got the dishes done, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteYes, I did! Yay, me! I cleaned the litter box, too, although I didn't list it! LOL!
DeleteTerrible admission, but I watched a whole series (six hours) of Line of Duty yesterday. Went to bed at 3am and slept till midday today! Usually I wake up at the normal time, however late I go to bed, so I was glad of a really solid sleep last night. I know you do well on very little sleep, but it must be refreshing when you do get a decent rest.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are starting to pick up my bad habits of staying up till the "wee hours of the morning" and then, sleeping in! :D Glad you were able to get a solid sleep. These days, I seem to average 6 hrs. of sleep a night and I do just fine. But, I really should try to get to bed earlier than I do!
