Snapshots: From the Germy Trenches

This week's cascading illnesses of a cold plus a really nasty stomach bug going through the family have meant a lot of this:

A blanket nest on the floor with a vomit bowl.

Switchel jello. I have made so much jello this week.

But also this:

I spent most of Friday morning dealing with the entirely-too-numerous (and HUGE) carrots.

About 55 pounds pounds of them, actually, now mostly in the freezer, blanched, unblanched, and grated. Plus a couple of quarts of pickled carrots.

Also this week, I finally had my one BLT of the season.

So good.

And I stopped in at church to get some much-needed peace.

All is calm. 

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
