Well, you can have some of our rain!!!

It would be easy to pull weeds because the ground is so wet they'd slide right out, but that would mean there'd have to be a break in the rain. Good luck with that.

Rain also means no cement being poured for my garage!!!!!

Oh Lord...if you need tomatoes, I have them. I have two plants that just went WILD this summer! Our first tomatoe was picked yesterday in a ceremonial harvest event. (Kid went out and said "it's RED! PLUCK!")

Even though I've been doing the belly dance and Richard Simmons' Blast and Tone weight training workout for three months now, I finally figured out where my obliques were. Haven't used them for so long, it took the three months of almost night ab crunch oblique reps to feel them.

We are supposed to feel AND use our muscles?? No one said this was a requirement!!

And a garden, too?! I didn't even make the attempt this year. We are going to start this fall to try to get the ground ready for SOME stuff next year.

Glad you got your CPR cert.

We have tomatoes, had some beans, beets {planted for my mom!}, green peppers and cilantro, but the cucumbers, onions and others didn't make it.
