Sunday we were back in the garden - heat, humidity, dirt, and sweat. We picked a load of green and wax beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and squash. We tied up more tomatoes, weeded more of one strawberry bed, and so forth. I left a few cabbages to pick later.
Today I need to freeze the green peppers, but will save the broccoli and cauliflower for dinner. Yesterday I got all the green beans in blanched and froze.
It was bound to happen. I got a head cold on the way home from Georgia. I know, I should be resting, but things had to be done. It's no fun working in humidity when you are sick.
While we were gallivanting in the south, the produce stand called us. Our blueberries were in. Those got picked up Sunday - 20 pounds. I probably should have ordered 30, but 20 will have to do this winter and spring. The younger two girls helped freeze 10 lbs for me. We have the other 10 lbs. to work with today.
On a good note, the first thing I noticed while unpacking our car upon arrival home Saturday, was that my rose beds were completely weeded. Thank you Mom and girls!
You know how the girls were giving me a hard time with taking the free bag of corn? Well, on our way home, Hubby got a call from a buddy - free wood. He said yes, and to deliver it, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Well, we got home and found this!

Hope you guys can figure out something to do with it. Maybe "trade" it with someone else for something else? But you'd need a pretty big tractor to load it.
We got offered a lot of wood this summer too, thankfully in easier to manage pieces.
Surely someone in your area must have a chainsaw. Kinda surprised you don't have one yourself, living on a farm, but not all are comfortable with them.
And like someone here said, try to barter some for the help of getting the rest of it broken down.
Try Craigslist if you can't find someone another way.
God bless.
