We had lunch out while doing doc appts. and other various errands. The bad part is that lunch isn't cheap anymore...the good part is that I won't be cooking dinner!

Ok, don't really have an orchard, lol. But, I picked mulberries. If you've ever picked mulberries you know that as soon as they are really ripe - they nosedive right offa that tree. My chickens know that if I'm out there picking that they're probably gonna end up with as many berries as I do...

Sounds delicious and now I'm hungry!

I still have dehydrated okra from several years ago. This time I think I planted 15 seeds and if they take off that should give us plenty for fresh eating. I still have collards going strong from last fall even though some are going to seed. I'm ok with that. The only thing I haven't planted...

Beans are up and looking good! It's still a little early for blossoms, but I'm waiting anxiously! I did spend a little bit of time weeding and mulching yesterday in the cream pea bed. It didn't get much attention earlier, so I tried to catch it up yesterday. Garden this year is happening...

Salad...

Sounds like you had a busy day with a great ending!

There was some brief street flooding in some parts of Houston - but not a huge event. We're south of Houston and even though one area fairly close to us got 5 inches it seems like we topped the list. Glad it didn't decide to stick around!

No idea - but that's probably how everything got so run down. Full-time outside jobs are only good for one thing on the farm - income! Holy Cow! We were expecting some rain - but dang! We got a whopping SEVEN inches in about 2 hours. Crazy for sure! Didn't do much of anything outside...

Those look delicious! Took me all day to get to it - but finally have those limas in the canner.

Think I'll do some lima beans with ham today. I thawed out a chunk for the charro beans and didn't use it all so...

Love some baked beans! I need to do some more of those. DH would love me to put a bunch of spice in the charro beans but I tend to adjust them to MY comfort level. He can always add more spice to his, lol.

Planted cucumbers and honey nut butternut squash. Put them both in big tubs next to a fence so they can climb. Never planted a winter squash in a container, but it's a big container. :fl

5 qts of pinto beans (charro bean recipe) yesterday.

They really are good! They're a common side dish in Tex-Mex restaurants. We prefer them to refried beans.

Busy day yesterday and today will be the same. Neurosurgeon visit yesterday morning. Told him about the intermittent recurrence of symptoms. Not really a whole lot that can be done at this point. The shunt is working and taking off excess CSF fluid, but sometimes there's a buildup that...

Starting tired is your body's signal that it needs a break! Don't overdo it or you'll get even further behind! Woo Hoo! Enjoy!

Oh gee whiz! They just need to bring you a new washer!

Dang - you had a busy day! That would make for a no good, very bad day!

Hope you're luxuriating in cool bliss!
