we had a good pow wow this year as always. it probably is my favorite pow wow. so far this year it is the only i have been to. usually i would have gone to a couple by now. we get rain almost every year. it doesnt stop our pow wow. i think ours is one of the best in the area. we draw good singing groups and good dancers. and we get to visit with many of our people. i took alot of pictures and done some video taping. i already burned a dvd.

i didnt go back on sunday. i had work to catch up with here. the rain made my lawn grow. it had to be mowed again. the weeds in my garden took off too. the door on my chicken house needing fixing. the list goes on. sometimes there never seems to be enough time in the day.

the gardens i helped plant are coming up real good. i checked them out and seen most of the seeds have sprouted and broke ground.  now the hard part. to wait and see what will produce. got alot of weeding to do. suckers to pull off. etc. i will be busy. now i have several gardens to worry about. not used to that. i wouldnt have been able to do this a few years ago. i was in constant back pain. i got sore from every physical activity i did. being active and the meds i took have helped alot. now i am able to do it. all the activity is helping me lose some weight. a plus.

i picked some gooseberries yesterday after work. they are from the bushes i planted in the tree line in my backyard. they arent producing alot right now but will in the future. i have a combination of wild and tame berry bushes. i like them mixed. they taste better that way i think. me and mary were stemming them til news was over. i dont know if it is late in the year for them or not. not many were red or soft.

gotta get ready to head to work….
