We are still getting rain daily, but the heat is back too. The garden is doing great, but the weeding is hard to keep up with (with the rain).
We had a relaxing weekend. Sunday we played cards on the porch, and grilled steaks and corn on the cob. Believe it or not, the organic ribeyes were way cheaper than buying other non-organic steaks at the grocery store.
Once again gas was out at the other grocery store. I am hearing it is due to lack of drivers to get the gas delivered.
My to-do list is right back at it this morning. We deserved to have a relaxing weekend, so it's back to work
-restock freezer (that's a list of itself, ha ha)
The weather . . .
I'm told it will "feel like" 94°F today. More rain in the evening.

Zuri attacked a dog toy again. Fluff everywhere.
To relax this week, I will . . .
Crochet or read.
Something I want to share . . .
A while back I learned something new watching a cooking channel. Here is what I learned and I tried it last night, and it works!!
You know those pesky hairs on corn on the cob? Well get one of these bottle brushes. I bought this one for a buck at the dollar store. Just run the brush gently over the corn.
The corn hairs will come off so much faster and easier than trying to hand pick them off.
Devotional, inspirational, prayer list, or Bible verse. . .
Prayer list, Daughter E.

I love HHM. It was nice visiting you.
Will be thinking of Daughter E.
Great tip for the corn hairs.
Extra chocolate chips in everything makes it better :)
Glad you got to have a relaxing weekend. Have a great week
Haha, I made banana nut bread with mini chocolate chips this weekend as well. Wish we had a few more showers, but say we might this week. At least, the temps are a little lower than what you folks up North are getting. Have a great week ahead.
Great hint and I want banana bread. Looks yummy I usually makes this combo in pancakes.
A great tip for the corn, I will be giving it a try. Hope you manage to get some crochet done and are able to relax with a book.
Thanks Granthamlynn
Luludou, thank you too
Mother Em, that is funny. It was so good too.
Lisa, you are welcome. I was so excited to try the brush too.
Thanks mamasmercantile. There could be some rain coming, so I hope for some free time this week.
Late again this week! What a great tip about the corn, going to have to try that out for sure. We're getting a ton of rain as well. Hope you are having a great week so far.
Thanks Jean, we needed the rain too.
