Milk & Cookies
Posted by: LizzieIt really does feel like a good day. It’s cloudy and rainy outside, but in a soft, summer kind of way. Yesterday it stormed all afternoon and evening, sending gusts and torrents of rain down that flooded our driveway.
The boys are watching Saturday morning cartoons and the baby is sleeping peacefully in his cradle. The house is still clean from yesterday and the only thing that really needs attention today is laundry. There’s a basket in the living room overflowing. I didn’t get around to sewing yesterday because of our trip to the Health Department, so I may try to find time today. I’m feeling particularly lazy right now, though.
My dendrobium is growing so much these days! Not too long ago, it had teeny, tiny pseudobulbs that were only this big:
Now one of those little shoots is as tall as the big canes. The older canes are looking kind of shriveled, so I’m not sure I’m watering it right. But now there’s another pseudobulb. I guess I’m doing something right.
The African violet I propogated is doing so well! I wish I’d taken a picture of it when the clones were tiny. Now, though, it just looks like a perfectly healthy plant. No flowers yet, but I’m expecting it’ll bloom in the next few months.
Our house is full of so much sweet stuff. Every person who brought over dinner for us also brought some sort of dessert. The latest was an entire pan of brownies! Meanwhile, I’m trying to eat right and not maintain my baby fat. Granted, I’m still just as hungry as I was when I was pregnant, but I don’t want to fill up on empty calories.
Anyway.
I’m thinking of becoming a milk donor. There’s a mom in the NFB group who can’t produce enough milk by herself (because of a surgery) and is looking for donors. Since I have a very abundant supply, I offered to donate.
I wish the library had a drivethru like the pharmacy does. That way, I could put books on reserve and just go pick them up without having to get out of the van. Wouldn’t that be convenient?
