Mary laughed; I still don’t get it!
We worked in the garden for about two hours after having our coffee. Mary picked a mess of tomatoes and corn for the gang at the Elks. Having friends has some very positive benefits; we do not waste any of the food items we grow in the garden! Seeing them once a week at the Elks is always a special treat!
We invited our friend from Villa Park to go, but we knew she would have some lame excuse and not call, so we departed to the doggy groomer early, not waiting for the call to join us. So sad to see someone suffer from agoraphobia and ruin their life by locking themselves up in a house and avoiding seeing friends and living a normal life. Oh well!
We dropped Scout at the groomers. He got his ears washed and also went in for a smelling test!
Scout got his nose checked today!
We stopped by the cleaners to get some shirts done and then to the Lodge, where we brought a mess of veggies for the gang. We are coming upon the Hawaiian journey, so I must get the tuxedos ready to go!
The Green Grocers have arrived!
George brought us a large bag of apples from his tree, and we plan to make something with apples tomorrow. I was wondering who is an apple’s favorite relative then it struck me, Granny!
Many tomatoes to share.
How do you fix a sliced tomato? Use tomato paste.
We departed for home at about 1:30 pm and called to see if Scout was ready, but he was not. We went home and puttered around for a while. When it was time to get the baby, we went to Home Depot first and got the supplies needed to auto-water the southernmost garden area.
We picked up Scout, and he was so proud of his new doo he pranced around the house several times, showing it off.
Mary went to the front yard and deadheaded the flowers. I joined her, and we finished the work by 5:00 pm. We went inside and set up the portable (roo around) TV in the kitchen and watched a movie.
Back to work after lunch!
While Mary worked in the backyard, I put soaker hoses in the beds on the south forty. They will now be watered automatically when we go on our Hawaiian adventure. The melons are looking great, and we are getting growth on the lentils as well as the cucumbers, so the extra water will certainly help!
Now the beds are on watering timers!
We were tired, so we came inside to make dinner but we got involved with a Chuck Norris movie, a spaghetti-western, and missed dinnertime.
The movie was an action film called Lone Wolf McQuade with Chuck Norris. Summary: After helping the local police with some horse thieves, a Texas Ranger also aims at a drug lord with the arms trade. They’re interested in the same woman and both into martial arts.
We crashed at 10:00 pm after we devoured three pieces of corn on the cob and some other remains we found in the frig.
Nothing better than sweet corn freshly picked!!
Bill & Mary Capps called and wanted instructions on how to microwave an ear of corn; we shared our recipe. They texted about an hour later with a big
“thumbs-up”.
Tomorrow, we are going to do a search & seizure of all science projects lurking in the frig. I got my spearfishing gear out and Mary has a burlap bag to catch the fast ones that try to get away!
