A lot is said about setting and achieving goals. Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't feel like I hear as much as perseverance when one doesn't achieve one's goals on the timetable for which one has planned and hoped.

I make a lot of goals. My list is always more than I can accomplish in a day, a month, and a year. That doesn't stop me from adding more goals and seeing all that needs to happen in a day, even if it rarely does.

Today is my end goal date for weight loss. I had hoped to be 115 today. This has been my goal for years. I was slowed down after having baby #9, but then started again. This morning the scale says 122.8.

It's not my end goal, but it's progress. Slow progress.

I have garden goals like that, too. Sometimes it takes years for plans to come to fruition, literally.

Perhaps you had plans to get out of debt this year, or save up to buy a house, or a car, and then you lost your job and needed to live on that money. Maybe this is the year you were finally going to take a vacation, and then the virus came and everything changed.

Keep on keeping on. Eventually, you'll get there. Make progress. Keep going. You can do it.

These beautiful Orienpet Lilies are blooming in the walkway near my front door.

They're protected from the super hot sun most of the day, so they get enough sun to flower but aren't burnt to a crisp like they would be in full sun here.

Full sun requirements in Las Vegas mean something different than full sun in cooler climates. It's more like 4 hours of only morning sun.

It's going to be 108°F/42°C here today.

New post up on the blog! Link in bio.

"Quiet summer"

I read these words today from @adoredvintage and they really resonated with me.
Our summers are normally quiet affairs. This year was going to be different.This year we had plans.

But a quiet summer sounds so peaceful in the midst of all that is not peaceful. It's also achievable. It's not 1942 and the midst of a world war.
I want this to be a quiet summer with intention. I want to achieve my goals at home: Organization, forever put off projects completed, and a more productive, tidier garden. Just those three things are huge, but I also know they'll bring peace to my surroundings for myself and my family.

Tomatoes, basil, and beans for the kitchen!

I'm definitely going to need to figure out a way to grow even more beans in the garden. With nine of us left at home, handfuls like this aren't quite enough for a meal. Thankfully, I recently planted two more 4 foot by 6 foot rows and they're growing fast! We love fresh beans! Yard-long pole beans are the only ones recommended to produce in our heat. It's 108°F/42°C here today, and we're just warming up.
