John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I was slow starting the day, today, but picked up speed in the afternoon. I was able to keep Mike outside with me for most of the afternoon, and he seemed to enjoy it, and didn’t sleep as much today.
I worked on my raised garden beds for over 4 hours today, trying to get the framework put together, it’s cheaply made, and breaks easily. After using gorilla wood glue on a broken connector, and it still didn’t hold, I will be nailing it together tomorrow!
Mike putzed around the pool and I got him to sit in the shade of the gazebo while I worked on the framework. I will, hopefully, be able to finish it up tomorrow. I am really late getting a garden in; but, when those who say they will help you do something, drop the ball, there’s not much chance of staying ahead of the game! Even if I don’t get a garden in this year, I will have things in place for next spring.
Because the plumbers were an hour early on Thursday, I didn’t get to the market, so I forgot we were out of bread – Mike and I went to Elmer’s for dinner, and we got the prime rib – I don’t recommend it. I should have stuck to the strawberry / chicken salad. We left to go home, and I didn’t even think about stopping at the market, so I still don’t have any bread!
In the meantime, I do have a need to get some sleep.
