i’ve had to pull and burn most of the 20+ tomato plants that i started from seed. we had 2 red toms for lunch and i’ve harvested a few green ones to fry. i trimmed back the plants that are not too infected to see if they can hang on long enough to let their fruit ripen a bit more. i don’t want any spores to alight from my patch, so we’re smoking out the neighborhood with the burning plants.

the insulation is 95% finished. kevin needs to run the wires for the carriage lights and put up the last piece of drywall on the garage-side wall and then i can turn on the a/c and hang out there during the day. the last of the complicated tasks will be framing out and installing the french doors that replace the garage door. thankfully, it’s been fun summer stuff that’s delayed the project. i should be able to set up a workspace in there next week and we’ll finish it out at our leisure…yea!!

it’s amazing the unsettling affect dreams can have on ones psyche. they sometimes sniff out the scars of old wounds long healed and sit coiled with shaking energy…like a dog waiting to be set free. again.
so, here i am, awake and annoyed on a saturday morning. having to forgive myself again in order to shake this lingering self-doubt. if i would let it, it would cripple me. i’ve been lead all this time by the heart God has given me. He knew where it would lead and He knows where it will take me.
