We kept busy all day. I started out by picking the green beans. I got all that were ready, then tied up tomatoes and pinched off suckers. Then picked squash bugs and picked as many wild blueberries as I could find. Then it was time for breakfast. I got enough wild blueberries to make the cake for Shirley and Frank for Saturday’s dinner so I got a few cultivated berries for our fruit dish for breakfast. We have a dish of fruit every day to start breakfast. We always have 8 to 10 cherries for our joints, 6 to 8 gin soaked raisens for our joints, and two figs for the fiber and minerals. Then I add any fresh fruit I can find. This week I got some grapes and I still have a few small oranges so we share those and today I add half a dozen big blueberries. Then we always have oatmeal and lately we have been adding a tablespoon of wheat brane for the extra fiber and the sweetness it gives, and a table spoon of raisens for the added flavor. After breakfast Norman went down to water the garden as everything is dry again. We don’t get enough rain when it comes to do for more than a day. I started my cooking by chopping the ham and cheese for the country biscuits and scones. I wanted chopped green onions in the buscuits so had to go down and get some from the garden and when I got there Norman discovered squash bug eggs on the zucchine so I stayed to help get all the eggs. Much easier to kill them when they are in the eggs stag than to wait and try to get the bug when they grow up. Then I came back and made two batches (30) country biscuits and 30 scones. This was my first time on the scones and find I like them very much so will do them again. Norman watered the gardens here at the house. We always stop at 10:30 for a cup of coffee and tea and a biscuit for a short rest. Then it was back to work. Norman did some weeding but I would not let him do much as his back is still very painful. After dinner I talked Norman into taking an asprin for his back, I am sure one asprine will not do him any harm and where he does not take any pills now one asprine is all he needed to make his back feel much better so he could take his nap after dinner. The afternoon is always a little slower. I got the biscuits into the freezer and organized the small freezer and then worked on the sweater I have been working on. I got it all done this evening only to find I had sewed the pocket on the back of the sweater instead of the front so had to remove that. Tomorrow I’ll sew it on where it should have been all along. Tomorrow I need to make bread first thing. Then do the gardening work and wait for Shirley to get here for an afternoon visit. Can’t wait, this is our first company this year so even if it doesn’t sound like a big deal to most people, it is to me. Have a great day.
