Thursday evening, to honor my hard work in the garden, Hubby surprised me by not working overtime. He took me on a ride on the Harley, ate at our favorite steak house (which has special motorcycle parking), and ended the evening with adult beverages on the porch.
Friday I piddle-dinked around, sucked down coffee, moaned and groaned, complained, let out heavy sighs, wished I drank the beer and not the Crown Royal the night before, and contemplated. I won. Even though we have weeds to pull, I decided I didn't want to poke my eye out bending over the 4 foot grass and weeding the sweet potatoes. Hubby volunteered to weed wack it down to where I could easily see the roots, so I took the day off, in hopes for rain. There was a 50% chance of rain at 10am, and that motivated my decision (although I'm out there at 7am and done by 10am). By the way, the rain arrived, and may arrive again today.
Oh, I had inside work to do, like make a batch of turkey-zucchini meatballs (recipe to come soon) and get them in the freezer.
I placed an order to restock my dry beans, brazil nuts and other organic items I cannot buy in stores. Of course, right after I placed the order, I remember one item I forgot.
I had carpets to clean and spot clean, and books to dust and get back on the book shelf. I have a HUGE load of stuff to take to the thrift store, and lapghans to crochet (for sale). I now have 4 lapghans on my hook. Yes 4. I'm a crazy crochet lady lately.
Why 4? Well, when I start them, they are just perfect in hot weather on the porch, but when I get about 1/4 of them done, they become indoor projects, with good ol' air conditioning, and a good movie to watch.
We've been visiting our 19 year's place of business, where she just became the Assistant Manager (movie rental business). We are so proud of her. Although this business is highly unlikely to stay open much longer, she'll have this experience on her resume and higher pay.
Miner's Lettuce was new to the homestead this year. In looking to winter food stock and preparedness, I decided to dehydrate some of it.
I am grinding up into a powder. I will be adding it to my breakfast smoothies (or lunch), to soups, stews, eggs, pasta, and what ever else comes to mind.
