New Bloom ~ Beans ~ Petrified Peaches ~Tidbits

As promised.  Here is a new bloom in my garden of "weedin." It's another gladiolas blooming, and it takes my eyes off the 6 foot thistle in the flower bed, ha ha!

Here is my bean snapper I had over last weekend.  That was bowl #1.  There was a bowl #2 after that.  Her older sister had to work, and Hubby was mowing.  It took us 1 1/2 hours to clean all those beans, ha ha!  I have them now in the freezer, and very thankful for the bean picking help, cleaning, and the help bagging after blanching.  Thankfully, there were no green peppers ready, and unfortunately, we let some blackberries accidently die on the plant.



The peach tree gave us about 20 peaches this year, but we lost all but 4.  Then we lost those.  Hubby put them on the window when I was not at my best, and forgot about them.

I'm better every day, although the antibiotic makes me tired.  Yesterday was the last day.  However, the doctor ordered two more days of it.  I end up napping before bedtime, but I guess I need it.  The spider bites are healing too.  One quickly, one very slowly.  The cough is just about almost all healed (thankfully).  My eye infection is on the mend with just a bit of redness that should be gone very soon.  I asked the doctor yesterday, if he could switch my eye drops.  He said, "no" and to use visine.  I later found out that is not a good choice (eye doctor advice).

I walked out to see my hennies and Stud Muffin Sparta.  I tossed treats, talked sweet to them, and hope they lay again.  Youngest said, "if they lay for you I'm going to be mad."  Ha.  I told her they can sense when someone is taking care of them that has a bit of an attitude toward them (lack of love).  

I actually did some crocheting in the evening while resting and watching movies with the Hubs.  It felt so normal.  

Last night, my last few frozen stuffed garden bell peppers came in handy.  Hubby was on his way home from work, we had just finished freezing green beans, and I remembered we had them.  I am so thankful I took time to freeze them last year.  Hopefully, I can get some back into the freezer for this winter.  Hubby was very thankful for a dinner after a long day of work and picking up chicken feed for me.
