"Vacation" Wrap Up

[dalthauser]

Sunday I worked in the garden most of the day.  I "built" arbors for the cucumbers and pole beans.  They turned out pretty good - and I figure the cost of materials was about $20 for each (4 posts, 2 concrete mesh panels).  It doesn' t show up very good here, but the top is like a little roof.  Once the plants grow up - I think it will look pretty cool.


Saturday morning my neighbor helped me finally fix the flat tires on my riding mower.  I decided to take it for a spin and ended up mowing the entire back section of my property (took about an hour or so).  What I didn't remember is to put on sunscreen.......  I was officially sun sick until Tuesday.  My back actually blistered - I am so mad at myself for being so careless.


Monday I ran errands and planted peanuts, sorghum, and sweet potatoes.  All three are experiments.  I also did a little tree trimming.

Tuesday I did some house cleaning and goofed off.

Ow. I do that all the time and always berate myself quite royally for it too. A lot of times in the Spring too cuz it doesn't seem hot enough or sunny enough to get a sunburn but...I do. I hope you heal up quick. Tylenol works well for the pain I've noticed.

I think that arbor will look gorgeous once the vines get all entwined in it. You'll have to take another pic when they do.

Yes, I should know better. I've had several surgeries for skin cancer - and the scars to go with it (nose and chin).
