Big score today. Jackie called to see if I'd want free sweetcorn, tomatoes, peas, beans and hot peppers ! Hell yes !
Met her at 4pm and we drove out to her nephews house and picked and picked. DH was chuckling, saying he never k ew Jackie and I were agile enough to escape with stolen corn !
Invited her to join Vickie, Lynette and I next week pucking apples and pears here on the farm. Looking out at the old orchard now the ground is covered with apples. Didn't realise they were already falling. Need to pick quickly.
Picked 3 x 1/2 feed sacks full of corn, one meals worth of peas, some small tomatoes - bigger than cherry but smaller that full size, a handful of peppers, not sure how hot, and some beans. Thought I'd cook corn for DH but we are braaing instead as the meat was defrosted in the fridge.
Here I'm sitting tending the meat on the fire, DH is out driving the big tractor checking on a replacement drive shaft from the older sickle mower. I've had one Heineken and am feeling it - it's not "Light" and I haven't really eaten today yet.
Beautiful evening, always a breeze up here.
Angel is on her way over to pick up eggs, she ordered 2 dozen and I thought I'd only have them tomorrow, but Betsi didn't need today. Need to keep an eye out for her as Rosco is out and about.
Every now and again there's a baa from a sheep, Anni is panting here next to me.
The broccoli froze great, transferred the individual florets to 3 freezer bags and popped them into the freezer. Need to tell Vickie that there are a fair amount of cabbage worms on them. Collected them for the chickens.
If I have a 2nd beer will I be able to walk or put a hamburger together ? Do I care ? Think I'll have another. Going to sleep early and well tonight, methinks.
