Things have gotten better over the last week, though, and I had enough energy today to:
- start cleaning up the guest room (inlaws coming!)
- run multiple errands
- go through 4 boxes of hand-me-down maternity clothes
- spray Roundup on the poison ivy
- GO TO THE FARM! YAY!
We've been greening our garden in other ways, too -- we installed a couple of rain barrels so that we're not watering from the town wells. Except for the Roundup, we're not using any industrial pesticides or fertilizer. Just compost and manure and soap. (I wouldn't even use the Roundup but severe allergic reaction means we have a zero tolerance policy for the plant, and it's nowhere near the food plants.)
We were biking in Western MA yesterday, out near Zoar, and we rode past one small homestead with a long road frontage. The veggie garden gave way to the rhubarb patch, which was followed by a dozen or so blueberry bushes, which yielded to a few venerable old apple trees. Blessed people!
