Writing my research paper has been on my to-do list for quite a long time. I finally read through all of the supportive research, and decided that I should start writing before the 3 days before it was due, and then I got distracted. Granted, my distractions were quite productive (as they usually are), but my paper was due today, and I started writing on Tuesday. It got done - I suppose that's the big plus side.
Last week when I kept telling myself I should work on it, though, I took a little trip up to Wisconsin and picked 55 lbs of strawberries. They were perfect - just as good as Gettings, and much cheaper. Then I picked the cherries off our trees. I worked the 2 days they were just finishing up their ripening and we got 1.5" of rain, so most of them burst and molded, but we got enough for a pie, some scones, and few more in the freezer to add to smoothies.
Side note on cherries: the internet will tell you that a paper-clip is the answer to all your pitting problems and you won't have to spend a dime. I tried. I tried hard. I kept trying, and I made a huge mess and mutilated hundreds of cherries. Maybe I'm just more uncoordinated than most, but after picking the 2nd round of cherries, I went to Target, spent 100 dimes, and happily finished pitting cherries.
I hope everyone's anniversaries and birthdays are enjoyable and being happily celebrated!
