Bill and Dave, many apologies for missing your Anniversaries. Belated Happy Anniversary to the both of you! I missed checking in that Monday.
It seems that the 2 weeks prior and 2 weeks after administering the Skyrizi for my psoriatic arthritis is when I experience the most symptoms of soreness and fatigue. I inject myself every 12 weeks. Better than when I was on weekly Enbrel, which gave me 3 good days a week, maybe.
Maine photos beautiful, Mike. Thank you for sharing them.

Good morning!
Mike, those are absolutely beautiful pictures! Wow! I'm glad that you had a great time.
I like strawberries! We will get some soon at the local farmer's market.
Our tomatoes are ready to be staked up.
Still only one of the 44 vole holes re-opened. I mowed last night and found five more holes in another part of the yard. We must have a ton of grubs or something.
I did real live cost accounting yesterday. I love it!
Have a great day!0 -
Mornin'
Baxter State Park is just a magical place. People used to line up on New Year's Eve, camping in the snow, to make reservations at the park HQ on Jan. 1 for their favorite spot: cabin, lean-to or campsite. Now it's all online.
Getting caught up on backlogged sleep--dozed reading quite a bit yesterday, then 8.5 hrs. last night. That usually helps with attitude and energy, I find.
All unpacked, now a mountain of laundry and clean up. With my SUV in the shop I'm driving a rental Elantra with more bells and whistles, buttons and knobs than I can figure out.
Bible study this morning. Will stick to coffee only at the serving table.
On my way back from Maine I stopped in Bangor to visit my old college friend Tom in the nursing home. Very thin, can get up from the wheelchair but not stand on his own. Lucid, cheerful and normal seeming at first, then conversation slid into strange thoughts and incomprehensible connections and by the end of visit was almost incoherent. As I mentioned, I think, he had major surgery last fall, then a stroke, then COVID, then wife suddenly died after a fall and heart attack. Sad, although his daughter moved back home, to take care of her Downe syndrome brother and be near Tom.
I think I lost some weight through all the activity of camping, or at least I feel much more mobile. Joint soreness in hips and knees is much less, and I can get down and up without feeling creeky. Moving is good for you, I guess.
Happy anniversary to Bill and to Dave.0 -
My tomatoes are caged for now. All the young plants are looking healthy (knocking on wood). I used an auger to drill transplant holes this year. Not only fun and made the job a bit easier, but I think it created a deeper hole and loosened the soil at the bottom better than using a hand trawl, thus giving the root systems a better environment for development. I always use a bit of bagged manure at the bottom of the hole as well. The sungold cherries already have a couple of bunches of green tomatoes.
Volunteer cilantro in herb box is out of control. Not sure what do with all of it.0 -
Good morning gentlemen.
Hope the aches and pains for all of us ease, today.
It will be at least six weeks before our tomatoes reach the stage yours are at. Just too cool, still. It's 49 and raining lightly, right now.
I started to rough turn a big bowl yesterday but had to stop to bake shortcakes to go with our strawberries. I covered the big bowl blank with plastic, to keep it from drying and going out of round until I can finish it this morning.0 -
Ouch Lee! Psoriatic arthritis sounds to be the pits for sure!!! We are starting to get a steady stream of our Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes (similar to Sungold) now from the big plant we bought. The others are producing fruit except the Brandywine which is flowering though. Don't know if we will get a regular sized tomato that is ripe before the 4th of July as we have had some years.
It was 49 deg here this a.m. too.

Good Morning
Heather is allergic to strawberries so we rarely have them. My son loves them so if we are gifted any they are for him. I got admit listening to you guys talk about your tomatoes makes me want to consider returning to the madness next spring/summer when we are settled. But I am not doing the vole thing. I am missing my Meloxicam big time. I am a stiff, creaky old guy living on Tylenol ER to get by. Just 4 more days. Heather is planning on returning to work today since they are short handed. She took a Covid test yesterday to be sure, though I wonder if the test detect the newer strains? I am determined to make more progress since I won't be sitting with her so much.
Have a Blessed Day!0
