Today I’m doing the butt scooting boogie around the rooms, on the floor pulling up quarter round. Should be an easier day!

Easier day? Not for me.

Stand up and move on? Yeah, that leg is becoming sore from reaching across it. Roll over onto all fours. A door frame to hang onto is all the way across the room ... Oooo, that knee. Get the bad leg up under you. Foot! Line up. No, that's not it. Here, I'll shove you over with the hand. Wouldn't do to twist an ankle even on a bad leg. Ready? Push. Don't trust that good leg!! You know how it tricks you sometimes! Other foot unnnderrr. Eerrrr.Good, you're standing! Straighten up. Ready to get down there again? You have got to be kidding.

Stools. Preferably one that is just the right height. Hopefully, the work can be done with one hand only. You know how leaning over that bad leg can weaken its usefulness. Don't fall sideways off the stool! Indoors, you may not make a fool of yourself with the neighbors but if you are back down on that floor ... begin again ...

I have beans climbing, lots of cherry tomatoes that are not red yet, some peas getting close to being picked. My squash and cucumbers finally starting to grow. My kale, collards and cabbage do not look good, kind of pale and some bug holes. I have brought in a few small onions and peppers to eat and eating handfuls of raspberries. Not a lot out there. I think the heat last year and I did not get enough water on them. I have a lot of weeds. I am helping DD now and then. She is due about Aug. 10 but now and then has trouble walking, so I go help wash dishes and help with shopping and helping get things ready for the baby. I can carry a 2-year-old up the stairs without getting winded and kind of surprised me. lol I then come home and wash dishes and do laundry here.

I wish I had planted climbing beans! My non climbers look lovely and green with purple flowers, soon some pods to harvest.

This is the first year that I have not had Rattlesnake climbing beans in probably about 10.

DW won't eat them fresh and she seldom eats bean soup made from the dry beans. (I may still have some from previous years for a couple of pots of soup this winter.)

There was also the new sprinkler set-up. I have to alternate the smaller impulse sprinklers from one side of the garden to the other. They are kind of maxed out on distance. A teepee trellis looked like it might interfere and that has been somewhat the case with the pea trellis which will soon come down anyway.

I picked these Shasta Daisies out in my yard and gave to DD and the girls and Evelyn just loves daisies like her mother does and she today here is what Evelyn said -
I wish I had a stem on my buns.
And petals on my head.
So I can be a daisy.
And be put in a vase of water.

All the work I put in these flowers and nobody really ever sees them and I thought well I will cut some for them and just wow, what a reward she gave me. I am going to make sure DD has daisies in her yard next year.

Also, I kind of hinted all the time DD should name her Daisy. I liked the name Sally and Daisy, but DD would hear none of that. lol

What a beautiful compliment for you and your daisies! Tuggs your heartstrings doesn’t it?

Coffee, hash browns and a peach this morning. I need to clean the coop at some point but it’s already too hot for that today and I work tonight so I guess it will be tomorrow’s job. I can’t wait until this heat wave breaks.
