i'd be pickling them and selling them. :)

the south field was starting to look fuzzy from all the thistles blooming and setting seeds again. the owner previously said he would mow it again but he didn't. i noticed it this morning when i went out to weed and water so after i came in from that i gave him a ring. turns out he didn't...

we had lunch out today with my brother and nephew at our favorite chinese place. brought home a few goodies. i suspect it might be a challenge to ignore them until tomorrow but i'll give it a try.

also a slight leak might be just from some gunk on the flapper, so if you clean the flapper that might be all it takes and also be careful about how you clean the seat that it fits against.

you can add all the rules you want. :) forgive me if i ignore them in advance...

it sounds great to me.

now you'll have to ask them where you can plug it in...

that's a really interesting variety! :)

was it uphill or downhill?

grilled pork loin at a friend's place along with a crab, cheese and onion appetizer and other goodies, corn on the cob, fresh steamed green beans, broccoli, cauliflower and carrot salad (with onion dressing), strawberries with blueberries, dessert was chocolate pie. since they were heading out...

weeded for an hour before i got too hot. i watered the other day to get us to the forecast rains last night which missed us so when Mom asked me if there was something she could do i had her water the gardens again to get us through the next few days. thanks mummie! :)

some of us are klutzy enough that we know that it is much better to have someone else do it instead. dirt and plants are much safer for me... usually...

ok, one for the new times of electrical systems, if you have someone who's from a long time ago and hasn't been paying attention, even if you turn off the breaker in the main panel for outside power coming into the house you still may need to be wary because a newer house may have solar panels...
