The garden continues to flourish. Thankfully we've had some good rain so I'm not having to water them every day (which is becoming a chore with all the lugging of water now they are so big). The Marigolds will be blooming any day now and I con't wait for the green beans to get even taller and begin to bloom too. The strawberries have a bunch of green strawberries. I'm hoping they will grow bigger, but it seems like they've stayed the same size and color all week.
Speaking of strawberries, got 4lbs of strawberries for 4 bucks at Fred Meyer yesterday! They have been so good in greek yogurt and sugar free jello.
I've been feeling better. Starting to wonder if my weekend congestion is actually allergies, but I don't know. It could very well be my body is working hard during the week and finally the weekend it can act up and get me to rest before starting the next week. At least I'm not as fatigued as I was last Sunday.
All week my blood sugar has been great! Monday I was 87 and Thursday I was 122, but the rest of the week I was in the 110's.
Yesterday, Steven and I went down to Kent to check out my friend Jessica's new work that opened up. It's called Sweet Themes. I had a little bite of a raspberry tart she made and from the tiny bite, it tasted good :) So those who happen to swing by the Kent Commons, head over to Meeker and 4th (which if south of the commons) and head east on Meeker (for almost a block). Sweet Themes will be on your right. Or check out their page here for an address and to see what they have.
Anywho, 'tis another month. Enjoy your fast Sunday. So far I'm still fasting from last night. I was 114 at 9:30 and at 2:30 96 and still feeling good. Just a few more hours and I'll break my fast with Steven. Of course if I feel funny before then, I'll break my fast early.

Meri, your garden looks amazingly healthy. Congratulations on your blood sugar levels. You must be doing really well on your food choices. LeeAnn and I had a real nice Sabbath and we hope you and Steven did as well. We both bore testimonies at church and LeeAnn whipped up a yummy chipolte chili this afternoon. It was oh so hot for me but oh so delicious. The cat unleashed her nap powers on LeeAnn and they both curled up on the couch for an hour or two. We love you and please give our love to Steven as well. Kurt
ReplyDeleteI like the imagery of Bells "unleashing her nap powers". I should tell that to Josh and have him make a comic. I'll be sure to hug Steven for you both!
