Friday


 I should have worked on the graduation quilt yesterday. I didn't. I felt like doing some cross stitching after some laundry, picking up and getting groceries. I added the wagon part above the wheel that I finished a few weeks ago. Two eggs collected from the coop around noon. The chickens are happy, I just tossed them the remains of the rotisserie carcass and veggies I strained out of the crock pot this morning from making broth overnight. Grandma had gotten that and made pasta salad and watermelon for Tuesday when we got home. 


I've got to go pick up glasses after I log off from work today. I had pulled thinly sliced pork chops from the freezer the other day, so those will be made into schnitzel tonight for dinner. I think I still have lemons in the fridge. I really need to pull up the unsuccessful summer garden and prep it for planting for the fall. This is the planting that up north you do in May/June. Hoping the temps go down so I can get some crops to be happy this fall. Crazy with all the recalls on everything in the grocery store lately. I need to go back to the farmers markets on Saturday or Friday after work I think. Must remind Greg to start my hydroponic lettuce up again. My salads have a base of quinoa right now instead of lettuce.

  1. Sometimes a few stitches in something is all you can manage - I bet you're tired! That was so nice of your MiL to do that for you when you were getting home so you didn't have to cook. I got some good lettuce at the farmers market almost two weeks ago now - it was nice to have some greens. Happy Friday!

  2. Produce is scarey--we are just buying frozen for a bit. Between Tom;s issues and my digestion we cannot afford to take any chances...
    Your cross stitch is coming along so well--looking great, Deb.
    I laid out a little slow stitch piece today--hope to begin sewing down the back pieces tomorrow--a little at a time--I miss my fabric handwork so much...hugs, Julierose

  3. I hope you can enjoy a fall garden - you have been so busy this summer with going back and forth to Vermont it is a wonder you got anything done. I would be exhausted.
