In the middle of this hot summer heat and getting sick, car accidents, working and everything plus trying to find a place to move into before school starts again. These all are for another day and email though, but I want to talk about lighter subjects.

1. My Garden - lettuce well I am still holding out hope for 2 of them, but I don't know. It is soo hot for them and I don't know how big the leaves will get. I have had fair success with peas, and probably would've had more luck if I used some liquid seaweed or some kind of organic feed. I think they are almost finishied and the peas have been kind of small to about the average size of a pea. I am freezing them in a bag, but probably won't have enough to make a cold pea soup :(.
Cherry tomatoes are growing well and I am getting some big ones after some pruning and good care. The other tomato plants by the time they get big enough for flowers it might be September unless I try to feed them with something.
I feel like I am getting better each year though, so hopefully next year wherever we are we will have enough to actually supply meals!

2. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle not to far into it yet, but it is providing some relaxation in the kind of surreal like world that the book creates, but at the same time is based in reality. I don't believe any of the philosophies or way of thinking, but it is kind of a nice distraction from everything. It is so bizaire that it places you in a surreal place. I don't know really how else to explain it. Basically, it is about a man who is married and their cat disappears and the wife asks him to look for the cat and then before you know it his wife also disappears and all the strange occurences that happen as a result of all this.
