Yes we have a tomato plant forest and is is giving us a sizable chunk of tomatoes for dinner and lunch. Not so overwhelming that we have to can some... though there are plans to can some stuff. We did fill some apothecary jars with various herbs that were dried over the weekend.
The day is nice but dry and I am not doing so well with my allergies. The dryness is not very good for me so much so that I think if I had a choice I would live in a rain forest. I do not want to travel to Arizona for example.
Pretty much regular, though I am going to use electric Sunday to print out an Algebra sheet for Marisa to fill out if she can for AP Algebra. I think that for this year she is already in for whatever math they have although they did "complain" that most of the students are advanced and would have to open perhaps two sections for advanced math. We still do not know if she did well on her end year tests. You have to plan when you do not use electricity at the house every day.
The Great experiment
Bowing to the book Eaarth by Bill McKibbons we as a family have decided to cut our carbon foot print again by redoing again the Great Experiment. Where we live without lights and light candles. The electricity is still on but we cannot use the microwave or toaster but allow ourselves coffee maker. Computer use is at the library where public access is and cool airconditioned rooms give us respite from not using our airconditioner when it is too hot. We are still installing the laundry line to dry our clothes. We are still using our washing machine to wash clothing and Dryer to do clothes and towels. This is kind of like camping but without alot of the hassle of setting up a tent and bringing the propain or burning wood to cook with.
