Livejournal! 

  It's nice to see you back. Hopefully it won't be a temporary thing again.

So much going on over here at Dom Hagar I am not even sure where to begin.

The Hagarettes are up for the summer and the kind of fun chaos that only young kids bring reigns. It has caused a few kerfuffles in our scheduling but we adapt and adjust. What it did do is wreak havoc with some of my other plans. *looks guiltily at the garden* *pushes the scale back under the bed* Kids first though yes? :)

Vacation on tap in about 4 days! The chant can now begin "After Vegas, After Vegas, After Vegas" So much to do but at this point it will all have to wait until .... well, you know.

 My poor garden is sorely neglected. Right now the choices are between emergency weeding in the hopes of salvaging something and calling it a total loss and planning ahead for falls prep work etc. Lesson learned. There are also some indoor plants on the way I am hoping to work magic with. The most important thing is that I stop treating this like the internet and start treating it like real life. You know what I mean.

Food trucks! I am becoming obsessed with food trucks and I see them as one of the next inevitable steps away from civilized dining and to organic, basic more real food. Yes much of it is not as healthy as you would think but out there are gems of deliciousness. 

Ok, now I am getting nervous that LJ will lose this post on me. Better get it up there before disaster strikes. Wish me luck!

Obligatory PSA- yes we had wind, rain and hail. Bubba and I headed home and drove right into the edge of the first tornado but other than that things here at the homestead are good. The storms didn't even blow the chairs out of our yard. My heart goes out to all those who did not fare as well as we did.

The yard is shaping up slowly but slowly. Garden is in, peppers of 5 varieties, three different squashes, peas, herbs, melons, salad greens, strawberries and umm... something else I am drawing a blank on because I am a little tired. The grapes still have to be moved to their new location as well as some of the raspberries. We are slowly reclaiming the patio too.

Last week the mower broke. Poor Pinky tried to save it but in the end it was just two old and gave up the ghost in one massive pull. We replaced it with a bagging mower which not only means less raking but more grass for the compost bin. Between that and an almost overflowing rain barrel I am hopeful that we will get this greener garden thing going soon. Today on the radio I heard an advertisement for some sort of chemical to put on your garden to help things grow. The big selling point? that there was no manure smell. What??? Let me get this straight- the reason you want me to poison my food is because you want me to avoid the completely natural scent of compost. Good goddess! I am not that delicate a flower. Neither are my flowers!

So much to do and I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. Guess I will just have to figure out how to make more hours. Maybe they can be crocheted?
