A day of rest
After ripping out the carpets and associated hardware, my back begged for a bit of recovery. So I went outside and pulled weeds in our berry patch. And lo, we discovered berries.
And my goodness, they are perhaps the sweetest strawberries I’ve ever tasted (and I grew up amidst miles and miles of strawberry fields, mind you). They are tiny and strangely shaped, but sweet and juicy.
After gorging ourselves on as many ripe berries as we could find (I think we got two each… I might have sneaked a third and not told anyone about it…) the kids took a nap at the same time. (By the way, that is Olga’s new rug from Ikea, a trip of which I shall tell in detail later, as it deserves its own post.)

Yum. Those are what normal strawberries are supposed to look and taste like. Those monstrosities you can buy at the store forgot to develop any flavor. Watch for runners from these strawberries, and make sure to stake the baby berry plants to hold them down to the earth so they will root.

Pulling weeds doesn’t sound like a back-saver project but it sounds like something I would have done too! I love when both kids take a nap at the same time- like right now- the house is so quiet
