I have started watching The Real Housewives of New York and New Jersey. These shows just baffle me! Surely these women have more things going on in their lives than gossip and hanging around, but maybe not... I would like to see some of those ladies come on down to Franklin County North Carolina, they wouldn't last half a day I am sure of it!!! I can't even answer the question why I watch these shows but I think I am just in awe of the lives they lead. In their defense I did see them make some pasta sauce to can for the year, but other than that I just laugh at them. I guess living in a small country town is a totally different type of living. I sure ain't dressing all cute, having tea with friends and getting manicures.
I guess my life just wasn't made for reality tv. I was thinking of this because today when I got home from work I went right to work at home. It never ends. Here I go pulling out the push mower to do my part of grass duty, by the time I was done I was dripping in sweat, but that was just the beginning of my evening of work. Then it was over to the pool to start vacuuming, and working on that surely people in a high society have pool boys...not me! Oh and most interesting I wade through the dog pen to feed and water the beagles. The highlight of my day...a country pedicure! This would include sinking in the muddy garden to put baskets on a whole row of tomato plants. I wore flip flops :) That's the closest I will be getting to a spa(LOL) Last but not least at 8:00 (I get home from work at 4:40) I am in the kitchen cooking chicken, boiled potato's and green beans. Yep that's my reality, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Most days are not quite that busy, but this time of year there is a ton of work to be done. I still have to clean the house, finish with the pool since my vacuum decided to break today, more work in the garden and I have some flowers and bushes that are begging for my attention. This weekend we will be bringing home 4 new beagle puppies who will also demand my love and attention. And so the story goes...
Yep, I am not glamorous nor prissy or anything else extremely girly. I am just a country blue jean and t shirt wearing kind girl that don't mind getting my hands dirty. My husband sure got lucky when he married me because I am a hard working wife :) He is just the same. For everything I do, I think he does twice as much...maybe its a competition that I am unaware of ;)
So I wonder...are these reality TV shows really reality? Who lives like these people? I don't know anyone like this, then again I guess people like that wouldn't really hang out with someone like me.
Garden Time!!!
Since I was talking about the garden earlier I thought I would show you our lovely mud pit. At least we have a few dry days in the forecast!!!
I had a great mud foot massage today :)
Last, my harvest of peas from Tuesday. Not fun to pick or shell, but they were some good looking peas which made me happy. Today my legs are killing me from squatting to pick them. At least it was a good work out...LOL
