Monday and Tuesday's Recap

Well the first day of summer vacation zoomed on by.  It was a rough one though.  I had the root canal first thing in the morning and then had to run quite a few errands.  On my last stop by car started acting up and the check engine light came on.  That is never a good thing but I won't know until later this week what is wrong with it.

I got home and got to work on my first task.  Yesterday's goal was to get my herb garden set up and planted.  I ended up working on that most of the afternoon (after a 1 1/2 hour nap on the porch with my puppies).  Here's what it is shaping up to be:




I have lots of basil, oregano, chives, dill, rosemary, parsley, marjoram, and cilantro planted in the herb garden.  I decided to plant them separately from the rest of my garden so that I can keep up with them a little better and they hopefully won't get lost in the weeds. 

I didn't get my yoga in but I did do a 2 mile hike with Cowboy and the coon dogs last night when we went to chase some raccoon around. 


This was taken a while ago, not last night.
This morning the beagles and I headed to the Beagle Club to chase rabbits around.  It was a wet and dreary morning when we got started.  About an hour into our hike though it cleared up and turned out quite nice. 







When I got home I finished up my herb garden, planted more tomato plants in the big garden and painted the gate for our fence.    I still need to get in a 4-5 mile run and will hopefully head out for that soon if it stops raining.  In the meantime, as soon as I post this I am going to go do some Yoga Meltdown since I missed it yesterday.


Hopefully this little set up will protect my herbs from the rabbits and the wayward dogs.


Doesn't look like much other than rocks in the garden - but there are plants growing.

We got a late start to our garden due to all the rain and Cowboy being gone for 3 weeks.
One half of the gate is done, still working on the other half.

Even though I'm not teaching it still feels like I'm working a full time job!  I'm always on the go.  Have a great afternoon - I'm off to get my workout in now that the sun is shining.

QOTD - What kind of projects do you get into on your days off?

I LOVE that you have an herb garden....that is so awesome. I would love to have any type of garden really...but an herb one sounds so amazing!

On my days off, I usually end up having to clean or do laundry since I tend to find a way to put those things off on other days! haha!

Have a wonderful week!
