I am sometimes out in the garden late at night, because I can’t make the time during daylight hours to get things done. I was pulling weeds till dark a few days ago, but that gets a little dangerous, because I sometimes pull out a flower, thinking it’s a weed when I can’t see well. So, last night, I knew I needed to pick more nectarines, because they’re really quite ripe on the tree now, and some are falling off while others are getting too squishy. I did some in the evening, with my toddler (cute little McKay LOVES to eat nectarines now — you should see him go at it with gusto, while the juice drips down his chin!). But I couldn’t finish, since there are *so many* of them on the tree. So, I was outside at 11:00 pm, with a ladder and three big bowls, trying to finish. Still didn’t get it all done — just too many on the tree! OK, not too many, but a lot. Anyway, it was pretty hard to see what I was doing, even with the floodlights on in the backyard.

Afterward, I sat down to watch a little of the Republican National Convention on the DVR, but I fell asleep sitting there and woke up at 1 am to trudge upstairs to bed. Now, I’m tired today.
