Took the cheese out of the press first thing this morning and now it is sitting out and will be for several days so it can dry. I will turn it over a couple times a day so it can dry evenly. Went in to town to pay our property taxes that I almost forgot to pay (due today) and then came home and started the yard work. 4 1/2 hours later it is all done. My arms are really hurting from running the weed eater. Usually I do the mowing and my husband does the weed whacking but I figured since he works and I don't I should do it. This is the first time in years that I have done this and all I can say is I need guards to go on my legs. We have a lot of trim work and there is gravel on the sides of the driveway and that stuff hurts when it hits your legs. I have at least 50 bruises on my legs now and a couple spots it broke the skin. I watered the gardens and the trees today, I sure hope this no rain thing ends soon. I picked 7 small tomatoes, 1 green pepper, 1 banana pepper, 3 onions and some lettuce today. The garden despite the lack of rain is doing very good. Last year we hardly got any peppers and so far this year I've picked 3 and it is only the 5th of June. I have at least a dozen more peppers on my plants right now and lots of blooms.
