May. 21st, 2011 02:51 pmGot dragged out of bed at 9am to go to the local farmers market, lol, which takes place in a church parking lot. It's in a part of town that was developed a few years ago and had all of its sidewalks, fountains, lamps, etc revamped. Last week, my parents talked to some public service city worker who does sustainability projects and they all were chatting about solar panels for home use. It's a hefty 12k though, which my parents totally cannot afford. And we're in cloudy, it-rains-8mo-out-of-the-year Oregon, so I dunno how useful it would be anyway.
This worker and my parents got to talking about their kids and she told them to tell me to e-mail her so I could do volunteer work for whatever projects she has going on. But ugh, I can barely keep up the energy to the current volunteer commitment I made last year, how can I keep up with more? So I dragged my feet about e-mailing her, and my dad was getting upset in his particular way, looking at me like I was a particularly fickle dead tree that wanted to fall exactly on his garage.
We didn't buy any plants but we did get a mini pie (pear-sweetened blueberry pie with an oat crust on top) and some wildflower honey (the bees were moved about to different plots of wildflowers around the Willamette Valley; the same if it was labeled "holly," or "blackberry") for my mom's terrible pollen allergy. $4.50 for like 10oz, yeesh.
Early in the morning there was a lot of sun, but as we got home the sky clouded over and now it seems that the rest of the day will be without actual sunshine. Today I'm feeling not exactly tip-top shape, and it looks like I'll be digging to remove grass, weeds etc, maybe even having to do some food service this evening. Mmmm I am a ball of reluctance today, and I really hate it when I get this way.
