Weekend Update

Yesterday was gorgeous.  Warm sun and blue skies do crazy things to a body.  Shawn and I were finishing up an early breakfast at Cracker Barrel when we started talking about the cheese.  You may remember the August 30, 2009 post about Sweetwater Valley cheese?  That cheese is very, very good cheese not cheese food, which is literally what the supermarket sells.  I'm not making that up.  Check out your Kraft cheese slices and note the "cheese food product" on the wrapper.  So what does that make it?  Franken food?  Anyway, the day was young, the sky was clear, so off we went to Philadelphia, TN for cheese.  Sharp, extra sharp, Colby, Governer's aged, and Fiesta, we stocked up.  

We were back by 11:00 am.  I started feeling this bizarre urge--the urge to clean.  Now I clean every week without the urge, but when the urge comes on, I take full advantage to get in there and CLEAN.  I attacked the stove, boiling the drip pans to make them nice and shiny and cleaning that no-man's land under the drip pans.  Then I started on the refrigerator, dusting and degreasing everything on top before scouring the inside.  

Then it was on to plowing and planting.  The broccoli is in the ground, though after the terrific rain storms today, it may be beaten into the ground.  I haven't screwed up the courage to go look.

All that to wake up this morning with a flamin' sore throat.  I've noticed the sinuses have been in over production for about the last 10 days but was thinking it was due to the pollen, which is in the very high range according to the meteorologist (why don't they just call it the miserable range?).  But maybe I'm coming down with a cold.  Eh, I guess time will tell.
