Good morning and happy Monday!
Is everyone recovered from the long weekend and ready to get back to a normal routine? Whatever that may be. LOL
I am in a much better headspace today. I worked and sweated my butt off yesterday. I spent almost three hours in the backyard raking out the garden spots. They were still covered with the dead leaves from last autumn. Part of me questioned why I was even bothering at this point. But the yard looks much tidier, especially where I clipped back the forsythia. I had to be so careful, though. There were random patches of poison ivy in places where it hadn't grown before. As soon as I was done, I got in the shower and scrubbed anywhere I might have brushed against it.
Today I am heading into work for a few hours, planning on transplanting some of the milkweed by the parking lot to the front of the cabin. Before I do that I have to make one more run at the grocery order. Caitlyn told me this morning that one of the meals I had planned has too many calories, and could I make hers with less/no cheese. I already had reworked it so I could make some of it vegan and some with regular cheese. To make three different variations for 4 people is too much. She asked me to make a Tex-Mex Sweet Potato skillet last night. A "quick and easy meal, one pan, on the table in 30 minutes deal." Pfffft!! An hour and a half later, I was just getting the toppings ready before we sat down. It was very good but "yeah, right" to the 30 minutes. (I know they always clock it with all of the ingredients prepped but that was a big difference. )
Hugs to you!

I need to do some commenting on LOs... I am behind on that.
