Good Morning...Afternoon and Evening!  I just discovered that I have not posted today.  I got up to a very foggy day, got Frankie off to work (she spent the night) and then took the little Cooper for a walk.  When I came back, the paper was here and I brought it in to read it and the texts from Cathy began.  They ended with her decision to head for the Farmers' Market around 11 this morning.  I got tomatoes to start the canning and they are all cleaned in two gallon jars in the fridge.

Tomorrow, I'll get the canner and jars out and get the tomatoes canned but first, Cathy is picking me up for a trip to Davy's and I'm going to add a few more tomatoes to what I have.  She's getting corn to freeze and I might just pick up another dozen to freeze.  It's so good later!  And it's a veggie that Frankie likes.  And I have a couple casseroles that use it. 

I had 9 birdies around my new bird bath this morning but when I got back with the cameria, there were only 3 there.  I guess they've discovered it!  Now I not only have hungry birdies, squirrels and whatever but the birdies are clean and not thirsty!

LLOYD, did you have carrots for breakfast, lunch or supper?  They sound like they'd have been a good meal for whichever Nancy chose!

I'm heading out to get my supper now and I'm going to eat it while I watch "Mannix" on TV.  He sure was a cutie!

I hope you are all having a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

 JaneS we had them for the evening Meal. also I ate a small jar of  of those sicet beats. they lower blod sugar, and I need to keep a thght raine on that, my sweet teath and diebatst are no friends, we have company of our oldest deaughter for a few days. she is a lot of help for us both.I have a clear capishons Phone, and it has been giveing me probluems. and she is much smarter with that than I am about that. she is helping with a tecknicen to fix it. they got quaie bit done this afternoon and they have another seacion set for tomorow eveening. and then we should also have better internet,and  wifiy and all, well i a going to go turn the TV on low and see if I can fiend a good moovie to watch and put me to sleep. I watched a grizley addomes yester after noon, I am goin to see if Ican fiend another one of them. the one I watched yesterad was a good hour and a half long. good night and sweet dreams.

Good morning...

Beautiful day in the making here!!    Got to love these cooler mornings. Yesterday was a grand day, met up with our friends for a short visit before heading off to meet and give Bri her jars. She in turn gave us bacon and shotgunshells her and son made. Shotgun shells are stuffed pasta shells with sausage ,cheese and then wrapped in bacon and then put in the smoker.

Next stop was a fabric shop where I  got lucky. The piece of fabric I chose ,when the lady went to fold is she noticed a flaw running the length of the fabric,right in the middle of it. She asked if I still wanted it and I asked what she could do on the price..off to the manager she went and came back said how about 50% off? Well, YES..and I will take all of it please! I am only going to cut it up and can avoid that area!!

So, all in all we had a great day and home before it got blistering hot and humid.

Today is pick up hubbys meds, to the lumber store then home to play catch up..........why is it we never win on that game??

Jane, enjoy your day of canning. Just think of how good those tomatoes are going to taste come winter! Sounds like you are enjoying your new bird bath!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe..



 

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm sitting here waiting for the first canner full of tomatoes.  And when we go to Davy's, I'll have to grab a few more for the second canner full and to eat fresh.  I have 8 pints in the canner and I need at least 8 more pints. 

AMY, how lucky can you get with the fabric!  That was a great buy!

LLOYD, lucky you to have those good carrots and lucky you to have NANCY!

I better get back to the kitchen.  The maters are almost done and then I have to get some lunch and get ready for a trip to Davy's.  I sure do love that store!  Have a great day, Everyfriend!

Day is slowly disappearing. Managed to pickle beets , peel and cut up two basket of peaches and two loads of laundry. Going to put my feet up.
 

AMY, you got more done today than I did and I thought I was moving along!  I have 16 pints of tomatoes sitting on the dining room table...8 cooled and ready to be labeled, 8 fresh out of the canner!  Along with that job, I made a trip to Davy's with Cathy and filled in some holes in my supply hoard!  And I'm tired.  Cooper had 2 walks and his breakfast and about an hour and a half out in the yard, barking at "stuff".  I could never see anything but he could!  Now he's gone home with his Mommy for the night.

I think I'm finished for the day!  There's some leftover Chili in the fridge and I'm having that for supper and I've already eaten my Whoopie Pie from Davy's.  Don't know if I'll be back today.  I might start another knitting project in front of the TV tonight...maybe I will and maybe I won't!

One thing I don't understand...how does one peel and cut up two loads of laundry?  I understand how you did the peaches but I'm puzzled about how (and why) you "peeled and cut up two loads of laundry!  Please explain!

Jane,guess I am tired and working on this tablet is not fun.I am not going to fix it as it gave me a giggle. Tomorrow we will pick up a half bushel of cucumbers ,will stop of at the bulk food store and buy more pickling spice.w
I can imagine with all the work you did that you are more than ready to put your feet up.

Good morning..

Woke to the sound of rain, there is a saying rain before 7 am quits before 11 am ,so we shall see. Nice part is we don't have to water the garden or the new grass seed.

Both dogs took a look outside and said nope don't have to go, thank you! Jesse doesn't mind the rain butBabe isn't a fan of it.

Blue Jays are slowly coming back and squalking...soon be time to put seed out for them.Yesterday crow flew away with a hamburg bun in it's mouth......funny looking..

Better see what I can do before we go out..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning AMY and anyone who appears later!  I'm up and attem.  Cooper arrived. had his breakfast, took a walk and is enjoying the cool time in the yard.  I think that's one of the reasons he likes to come here...he can spend time outside without a leash on. 

I have spaghetti sauce cooking with the last of the tomatoes and the 16 pints are wiped and ready to be labeled and put away.  Next week, I'll get more tomatoes to make tomatoe sauce for recipes and chili sauce and make some spaghetti sauce to can.  Maybe I'll pick up a few more ears of corn while I'm at the Farmers Market.

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Another day  of partial rain.. Picked up our cucumbers and could have come away with another dog!! The lady is a foster mom for an animal resue and now has a sweet brown Border Collie. She said his owner has now gone back to work and doesn't have the time needed for him. I would love to get him but with two at the moment that needs our attention. I sure hope he goes to a good home..maybe one with a  young child that can just love him to pieces.

Cucumbers are all cut up and ready for the next step in 8 days........have 6 batches of them.

Jane how did the canning go? I have yet to label the beets, may do that later..

Good Night Everyfriend! 

AMY!  All the tomatoes are wiped off, labeled and put away.  I didn't get more corn and the tomatoes that were left have been made into spaghetti sauce for eating right now!  I had some for supper and it was EXTRA good!

We got a little rain here this early evening so I didn't do any outside watering.  I think it might have been just enough.

Frankie is going to Maryland to visit her Mother...leaving early in the morning.  So my little canine friend will make the trip with her and I'll be home alone!  I do have the birdies thought and a groundhog has found his way through the fence and is cleaning up under the bird feeder.  I haven't named him yet but I have a couple of ideas rolling around in my brain!

Now I'm off to the haystack!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

good night and sweet dreams. RAMMEL well I don't know if I am comming or going Hope I am back on track. well our hard wired Phone Is giveing us a bad time, we spent A lot of time with it and a teck they are suposted to be sending us a new phone, also we had a large upright freezer and it went on the blinks, and is still under warnetery, but we could not get a teck out so we had to go buy anither one. then a teck finley came out and figuered out what was wrong and sent out new parts to fix it, but he has not came yet to install them. when it rains it pures so to speak, good night and sweet dreams.

Lloyd

Good morning..

What a difference in temp..44° at the moment. Heading to town in a bit to pick up a few items at the grocery store..then home to do laundry.

Patrica, is the weather cooling down there?

Jane, have fun naming the ground hog...I named the rooster behing us Horatio..love hearing him any time of day.

Better scoot, if I get laundry started before town I may bake bread..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Seems funny to get up and not have to hurry around to be ready to meet up with Cooper! 

AMY, when you do the laundry you're not going to "peel and cut it up" are you!  If you keep doing that you'll soon be shopping for new "stuff"!

I'm thinking of calling the ground hog "Alley-Oop" because he does his trick at the fence to get in and out!  And for the size of them, they can move pretty fast so I was also considering "Zoomy" as a name for him!

Guess I better get this day moving!  Make it a good one!  Better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Jane, Houdini came to mind when you said does his trick to get in.
No laundry is hung on the line uncut

Good Morning everyone. well I am in that rut sleeping in.just up a couple min.sun is up bright and 73º already.the humming bird has already been here gathering necter out of the flowers, sure is neet to set here in my office and watch it gather it. aperantly it dosent see me watching it through the weindow. my brother in Page azarina has severial nest of them under the roof of his porch roof. they do not seam to be bothered too much most of the timem but acoshenely they will dieve on you i guse if they think you are too close. RAMMEL  thanks for telling me how to get the prient Larger. I can read it good now, now I need to figure out how to make it bold some times. I should be smarter than i am any more. the older i get the more forgetfule i seam to get. should get smarter, but dosent seam to be that way. Have a good day the way you like it.

Lloyd

Amy, "No laundry is hung on the line uncut?"

I like the name "Houdini" for the groundhog!  He does have that talent!  Glade the laundry is out drying!

Jane and Patricia, maybe you both can show me how?? Sort of like how Tom Sawyer got "others to paint the fence.

Amy, I'm ready to do my part...I can tell you how to organize the laundry, the best detergents, and spot removers. I can tell you the best clothespins, hangers, and weather for hanging outside.

I can supervise Jane as she attempts to follow my knowledgeable suggestions under my leadership and vast experience in the physical work of doing the very best laundry job possible.

Let me know when you're ready, and I can whip you and her into shape....      

Happy Birthday Lloyd!

Hope you've had a great day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ME, TOO, LLOYD!  HOPE IT WAS A GREAT ONE!

PATRICIA, I'd love to take part in the "laundry hanging lesson" but I don't hang my laundry out any more.  There's not even a clothes line out there to practice on!  I guess I'll just have to sit back and watch like everyone else does!    

And now I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Had a post all ready & it disappeared, not going back to rewrite the whole tale but just a Birthday Wish for Lloyd!  Hope you had a great day, Lloyd, and a great year ahead. Must get my shower & ready for bed with clothes out for church. Was HOT & humid here today.

Good night, sweet dreams and God Bless
