Friday night Ray came home with 2 dozen corn & 23 lbs of cucumbers!
Saturday I putzed around, cleaned a shed, picked some rocks out of the field; we actually have a rock picker that hooks up to the tractor, and it's name's not Gail!
I took the power saw and cut some dead trees that had fallen over and keep trying to take my head off when I mow by the bush! I started the saw BEFORE I went into the bush, cause Curt, this next bit is for you......
OMG, WE HAVE A BEAR!
LIVING IN THE CULVERT AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY!
RAY'S BEEN GOING OUT EVERY MORNING & EVENING, CAUSE IT CAN'T HIBERNATE ANYWHERE NEAR THE YARD, CAUSE IN THE SPRING IT WILL WAKE UP H U N G A R Y!
Anyhoo, the guys can't shoot it because too many people keep driving by to see it!
Too many tourists I told my BIL!
I haven't seen it, and according to the stories it gets bigger all the time....I figure it'll be a grizzly by tomorrow!
I cut up cucumbers for my pickles I was gonna make on Sunday.
Saturday night, Ray's boss calls.
Said Ray had invited him & his wife for supper, but that he didn't care for Lasagna.
Hahahaha, I didn't mind, at least he's honest!
Yesterday there was an unscheduled cleaning of the house!
I sent Ray out to mow grass; and by 1:00 pm I had everthing under control!
Counters cleaned off, floors vacumed & washed, laundry done, bathrooms cleaned, dusting done, rhubarb cream pie made, salad made, steaks marinating, garlic bread all cheesed up, & fresh corn & potatoes ready for the BBQ.
I also had to finish my pickles I had started the night before!
They're called Million Dollar Pickles!
Not sure why; and the little red flecks....supposed to be pimento, can't buy that here, so I scrunched up a red Jalepeno!
Ha, you can't taste it! Pretty sure it's just for color!
This morning I had to get busy, because last week I got an e-mail asking if I'd make dessert for our meeting tomorrow night.
I know, I know, JUST SAY NO!
I made the famous Rhubarb Crisp, then I made a pan of Farmers Brownies, and some Butter Tarts, just in case!
I also dug the Strawberries out I've had in the freezer (froze whole) since last year.And if you tell anybody, I'll vehemently deny it!
Anyhoo, they turned into 17 jars of jam!
I have also made a grocery list for tomorrow, so I can get the rest of the cucumbers done!
My knees been giving me grief since Friday, and I'm out of the 'good' drugs!
Those are on tomorrows list too!
The O/S sails tomorrow.
I'm not allowed to say where.
I'm especially not allowed to tell the Taliban where the ship is going!
Kalens' renters are moving out.
They told Kalen not me.
I'm not sure if Kalen told them he'd call off his mother, or how that happened, but that will be one less headache!
I'm sure a good cleaning will be in order, they've lived there almost 2 years, but I can handle that!
Ray started swathing the back 40.
Alrighty, he started with the front 10 acres, but really, he's in the back 40 now!
Here are my birdhouses mounted on their rake & pitch fork!
And here's a picture of a renegade tree trying to hurry fall along!
Only one in the yard that's changing color!?
Speaking of 'FALL', I did this blog hop!
You should too!
There's a lot of talent out there!
Better go, I'm sure I should be doing something!
Started reading Kathy Reichs latest novel!
I just finished the 2nd book in The Mortal Instruments series.
Also read the first book in The Hunger Games, and finished Jaycee Dugard's book.
I read. A. L O T!
I know!
When do I have the time!?
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
