LOL! at the comments on my earlier entry :) Let me start this entry by saying that: 1. I am the LEAST organized person! My house is a clutter nightmare because of it, and the fact that I am usually too busy playing in the dirt or my kids to care :) 2. I really don't want another child- the thought of getting no sleep and changing diapers again gives me nightmares LOL!  3. I am actually a pretty lazy person who needs a great deal of motivation to get things I don't want to do done. If it wasn't for temps near 100 today I would've been out gardening instead of napping.

I have come to the conclusion already that if I want to get anything accomplished, it will have to be between when Logan gets on the bus at 7:15 am, and Megan gets on at 10:20 am. By the time I get Logan off I am awake, with nothing really to do because I have everything ready to go the night before. Therefore instead of sitting being bored while waiting to get Meg off I should actually do some cleaning or whatever while I have the tiniest amount of motivation :) We'll see how that works tomorrow morning when I try to put it into practice.

Now for the real reason for part 2 of Today in the Garden- TS Hannah. Every update brings her landfall closer to my area. The good news is we don't have a Weather Channel crew here yet LOL! :)  It's like the tornado chasing people- you know when they show up it's gonna be bad.

I'm really hoping for the rain though- all my plants are really looking sad, despite being watered. As any gardener knows, nothing beats a good rain for reviving a garden.

I do plan on canning my latest tomato harvest tomorrow- I have a HUGE salad bowl filled with them, with yet more on the way. I'm thinking of stewing this batch to use over the winter, I use stewed tomatoes a lot in my cooking.
