Monday, Monday; So Good to Me....
Well, I already made the tomato relish and have the cucumbers in the brine for the kosher dills. Going to be busy today.
I texted a friend about the house we looked at yesterday and she said she knew the owners and they are really desperate to sell so they will probably take my bid. Yeah! Plus, she is also friends with the lady who has the very large greenhouse south of where I am moving. And, she thinks she can help me get a good deal on some fruit trees, rose bushes, and some decorative bushes. I would love to do some trading, if possible.
Okay, pickling today and sorting material to see what I need for fall clothes for the granddaughter. I need to get her some little fall and winter jumpers made and some little shirts and pants. I bought a huge supply of material last year because it went on sale so I shouldn't need to buy too much in terms of material. I still have some very nice corduroy. I also wanted to see what kind of material I had for making my daughter's quilt. Probably not nearly enough. LOL
Breakfast today was loaded oatmeal and I ate about 1 cup with 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts and pecans mixed.
Lunch: Avocado sandwich with garden fresh tomatoes
Dinner: Beans, okra, and corn on the cob
Snack: Watermelon
Speaking of watermelons. My daughter planted some in her garden and they have done okay but not really great. Well, I was down on the farm a while back and I was pulling some vines away from the chicken house and I found a huge cluster of watermelon vines loaded with baby melons. I asked my daughter if she planted the watermelon seeds so close to the chickens and she said, no way but she had thrown a watermelon rind out there for her chickens..her chickens free range during the day. Apparently, there were some seeds that took propagated and now she has one of the healthies****ermelon garden I've ever seen. Yesterday, she cut the first ripe one off the vine and it was the sweetest thing ever. I'd say she has about fifty watermelons about to ripen within the next few days. I see a watermelons for sale sign in her near future. LOL
Ladies, have a good Monday.
Good Morning Jeannie and those to come later,
I had a helluva time getting to sleep last night. I wasn't anxious...just not drowsy enough. I really hate that but since I am retired it isn't a huge issue like it seemed when I had to face a crazy full day at work.
I am still working on my craft room...it is a job that will take many days to get it done right. I have a full wall of shelves in there and I'm painstakingly going through them to cull out things to donate and to organize items that I will keep.
I love the watermelon story Jeannie!
Breakfast: Protein drink
Lunch: Tuna lettuce wraps, cheese
Dinner: chef salad
Snacks: watermelon, peaches
I am terribly spoiled by CA fruit. It is so fresh that it's like picking it from the tree.
