Better Day

What happened to yesterday?  It was a much better day than Thursday.  I let alot of things go.  I told Bennett that I would pick her up mid day.  She was very pleased with this and let me leave her at school with out a fit.  I told myself all I needed to do was walk the dog and go for a jog (3.5 miles).  I accomplished both of these things before having to get B and it felt good.

It is a difficult balance of what should, could, can and will be done.

I have enjoyed comments that remind me that most people have some difficult times with small children.

dirty little ramps

nicely pickled

We spent yesterday afternoon shopping, eating ice cream and generally not worrying about anything.  I made an attempt to pickle ramps.

I was the gatherer of dirty edible things and Ruth was the processor.  Now I feel compelled to continue and rummage through her recipes and notes to follow her lead.  Its alot of work.

Today I cleaned the house - B did not want to put clothes on.  She finally did to take Zues out then we bundled up to go to Snow Farm.  I wanted to try to finish the railing I had promised Karen I would make.  Auntie Julie came to take B to see the tiny puppies.  She went and I made considerable progress on the project.  It was nice to say hello to several SF people who were up teaching.  It was a beautiful sunny cold day.
