Quiet Life Homestead

Tuesday Update, Pt 1

We bought a lawn mower, the guys are outside working on the yard right now.  Bethany and I came in because we were getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.  With all the rain we had last week, there are still lots of places with standing water, which of course, means mosquitoes.  I feel we are in the midst of an invasion!  And these suckers are big!  Okay, maybe not Jimanji big but big enough!  After living for a few years in Panama, I've seen what these little gals (its only the girls that bite) can do, what kinds of disease they spread and such.  I guess I'll have to see if we have anything we can put on to keep them off.  Also I should up our garlic intake.

Today is shaping up to be such a beautiful day!  Its 3:22 in the afternoon and the temperature is 73 outside!  Of course it would be 79 inside, gotta do something about that.  Bethany's actually outside right now in a jacket!  I used to be like that.  One August when I was about 16 or 17, we went to Six Flags in Arlington, Texas and I wore a black sweatshirt.  My Mom says the only way you could tell I was sweating was if she lifted up my long hair.  I really need to get back down to my pre-Bethany weight.  I think that has a lot to do with it.  She'll be 12 at the end of this month, I think I've waited long enough to do something about it.

Chores are waiting........

Good luck on your weight loss. I have 10 days to slim down some more before I'm in a bathing suit, oh the thought! Right now I'm eating only fruits, veggies, nuts, and my milled bread. We'll see.
