A beautiful week....

Good Morning!! We have had a beautiful week (weather wise anyhow).... Here's a recap of the week....

Saturday, July 4th....
We started off the day with an early morning visit from Darren (our youngest).... He visited for a while, and left while we were heading out the door... We off to Spiral Path (local organic CSA farm, that we belong to)... they were having an "Open Farm Day", which was where we could pick raspberries, all the herbs you could imagine, flowers, & pick up extra produce.... Till we got there, the raspberries were picked clean.... It was a great time, we were able to meet lots of people... On the way out the road, we stopped by the amish grocery store to pick up "a few things".... I should know better than take Scott with me, but I did it anyhow, LOL....

After coming home, I tackled laundry & enjoyed hanging it out on the line.... I also cleaned & paid a few bills.... In the early afternoon we went raspberry picking.... First on our own property... then we decided to pick @ Scott's Mom's for her.... Surprisenly hers were not ready yet.... So we took a 4wheeler ride down the road, and found TONS of raspberries... It's a lot of work picking those little rascals... Scott dropped me off at the house, and he continued down the road for more picking.... I threw together 2 loaves of fresh zucchini bread and a batch of brownies (from scratch)....

We spent the evening at Scott's Mom's... a wonderful cookout & games of holey board.... I took the brownies & Scott's Sister, Cindy threw together a batch of homemade ice cream.... We then came home, and rounded out the day by watching the Nascar race, which of course Tony Stewart won!!!!

Sunday....
We had a slow start to the day.... Relaxing, watching t.v., playing online.... Once we got motivated there was no stopping us... Scott spent the afternoon splitting & stacking firewood, while I made a fresh batch of raspberry jam and canning potatoes.... Scott also fixed the starter in Kevin's truck....


Monday....
Back to the daily grind.... Colton was back from vacation.... I spent the day cleaning & canning potatoes.... Scott worked late (hay season)... We had moose steak & baked potatoes for supper....

Tuesday....
I spent the morning cleaning, while Colton played & watched t.v.... Then I took him to the neighbors to play.... While visiting with her, she gave me a gallon ziploc bag of fresh ham & bean soup....I came home & put it in the crock pot on warm, and that was supper... We invited Scott's Mom, sister, Ellie, & Brian down.... there was so much, LOL.... In the evening, Scott filled in the "sink hole" from our new drain lines & I weeded my flower beds & transplanted a few things.... We also had a Netflix movie, Nights In Rodanthe.... Very Good Movie... we enjoyed it....

Wednesday....
We had to be up early, 4am to be exact.... Scott had to be to work @ 5.... I stayed up and got my day started.... Laundry, dishes, feeding the animals.... I also did another canner of potatoes (w/ Brian's help)... and another batch of raspberry jam....Scott ended up having to work late, again.... So we had a "fend for yourself" night for supper....

Today (Thursday)....
I am tired this morning... but once I get motviated, I'll be alright... I have a bunch to do today.... Dishes, another load of laundry, vacuuming, bird cages, scrub the bathroom, weed more in the flower beds & a little in the garden.... I also have to finish planting the gladiola that I had to move due to the sink hole.... Maybe also a trip to town for some banking....

Well thank you for taking the time to read this morning.... I plan to upload a few new photos of my growing garen!!!
