Day Two Hundred and Ninety Nine
Umm…so yeah…I’ve been a bit absent from my “daily” blog. I’m busy (of course) and have felt burned out by the end of the day. So this is what I’ve been up to for the two days I was missing…
I finished Raymond Chandler’s Collected Stories. Yay! Hurray! Celebrate! OK…it really wasn’t all that bad but I am glad to be finished. There is something slightly soul-sucking about reading crime stories. Especially hard-boiled ones with corpses on nearly every page. Now I’m reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence so I’m not exactly in candyland but things are definitely better.
Saturday was highly productive with four pies, three gallons of applesauce, a gallon of apple cider, two gallons of apple juice, a batch of dried apples and dinner all being produced. Thank you Megan, Quinn and Rachel. I think I figured out what payment I wanted Anemone…a book 
This morning we had breakfast for fourteen at our house and still managed to scamper out the door in time for church. Then lunch with Doug and Pam and a nap and finally cleaning out the shed for the winter rounded out the afternoon/evening. I have another absurdly busy day facing me tomorrow with three errands, four loads of laundry, more apples, a pantry to clean out and, oh yeah, books to read…pray for me!
