recently....









In the garden:
  • picking green beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and {one little} eggplant
  • digging red potatoes
  • weeding and cleaning out some raised beds that are finished
  • picking raspberries and the last of the blueberries
  • watching the mammoth sunflowers grow almost as tall as the hen house
In the kitchen:
  • baking lemon blueberry muffins
  • canning tomatoes and tomato sauce
  • freezing green beans
  • making peach shortcake and peach custard kuchen with a half bushel of peaches from a farm stand
  • making sourdough pancakes, biscuits, and banana bread; and homemade yogurt and granola
Relaxing with:
  • The Rural Life   by Verlyn Klinkenborg
  • and a new knitting project: Mara, a free pattern from Madelinetosh
  • plans for a trip to the lake

    1. Sharon, those are black-eyed susans--proper name, rudbeckia. I am terrible at remembering certain plant names, but these have been a favorite since I was little.

  7. You've been busy...how satisfying to be able to put down in writing what you've been doing and then read it through. Often we think we haven't got much done but when you look back over exactly what we have done we can see this isn't so.
