I did not feel like getting up this morning, but I knew that if I stayed in bed I would be more tired than if I just got up and started my day. So before breakfast this morning I went out and picked some blueberries for my shredded wheat and Cheerios. Kathleen got up this morning as I was getting breakfast ready and so I poured her a cup of coffee as well.
After putting the dishes into the dishwasher I went outside and picked up apples, there were not as many again this morning. I think that it has something to do with not having as many left in the tree. After Picking up the apples I ate a few more blueberries and then watered the berries, the vegetables and then went and watered the gardens in the front of the house.
Kathleen left while I was watering to go over to Tigard and Beaverton so while her big SUV was not in the driveway I decided to get out my blower and air sweep the driveway off. While I was doing that I did the back stairs, the sidewalk and all around the front garden.
After I finished putting my tools away I went into the house, cleaned up and made myself a baby spinach, arugula and romaine salad. Since I used the last of the raspberry dressing I made my own out of some apricot sauce and some tarragon vinegar.
After putting my dishes into the dishwasher I rested for a while and then went back outside so that I could dig out the big apple tree stomp from the back garden area. I had been planting around it for a couple years and it was getting so rotten that I was afraid that it would fall over and crush one of my peace roses.
After getting it down to ground level I got out my good old stubbing hoe and dig the roots and the rest of the tree stomp out. I still have my old wheel borrow over at Aaron's and I did not have the energy to get the garden cart out of the garage so I moved my big reel mower close by and loaded the largest pieces on it and wheeled them over to under the fir trees.
I had to use several five gallon buckets to pick up the smaller pieces but I got most of it picked up. After digging all around the former stump I put all my tools away and went into the house and cleaned up. I had just finished cleaning up when Kathleen came back home so I went out and helped her bring her sewing machine inside and upstairs.
She had also stopped by Fred Meyer's and picked up one of her prescriptions and some groceries so that she will have something to make for dinner tonight. Well, I am feeling a little tired so I think that I will go rest for a while before dinner.

Have you ever tried the Champagne-Pear Vinaigrette from Trader Joe's? It is my favorite dressing. Timmy always brings me some when he comes home.
I have not tired that one yet; right now I am trying to use up some of the things in the refrigerator and cupboards that have just a little left and have been around for too long.
I hate to throw them out because I liked them but have found something that I like better now.
