Oh wait, I did that!
I harvested, cleaned and dried a bunch of thyme from my herb garden, along with more oregano. I also counted - I have frozen 15 pints of corn from our garden, canned a couple of jars of tomatoes, frozen 3 quarts of tomato soup and 4 quarts of asparagus soup, as well as 6 pints of pasta sauce and numerous gallons of blueberries. I also canned blueberry jam and pears. I didn't do all this in the past couple of weeks - this is the accumulation of the season's harvest so far.
Actually, all I accomplished over the past week was having surgery! I woke up around 2 AM on Wednesday morning with severe belly pain that landed me in the local ER (for 30 hours) with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, got me an ambulance ride to the tertiary hospital north of us, and gallbladder surgery on Friday. I'm still pretty sore and tired, but at least I'm home and have been able to eat (in all that time in the hospital - Wednesday at 3 AM until Saturday at 11 AM - I was only given one meal although I did get some jello and ginger ale the night before surgery) and actually get some uninterrupted sleep! I actually also read 2 books and did 3 hours of continuing education while in the hospital - that's pretty good, right?
When I feel like I can lean over comfortably, I will have to go see what's left in the garden - I'm sure we have lost a bunch of over ripe tomatoes, but the chickens will enjoy them.
J and her friend are coming home from college for a long weekend starting Friday. Here's looking forward to a pain-free weekend with them!
