I usually wake up to the sound of these two guys telling us it is time to get up and that it is time to come and feed them.
but this morning there was this beautiful bird serenading me. I just lay there listening, and thinking of the goodness of God...... I have found that birds sing no matter what circumstances, .. a great lesson for me.{smile}
We have finally gotten a break in the heat wave, just a perfect day so, today my best Bo and I went berry picking. He ate more than what he picked and out of my basket too. He thinks I didn't see him, but I did.... I used to have red pigtails, dh says my red hair was one reason he fell for me{ha ha}And Girls he still wears his cap to the side.Ahh! be still my heart.
Our cucumbers are ready and we had a good picking today, so making relish was on my to do list too. I really wanted to be outside in the garden, because with cooler weather I could have stayed out most of the day but when veggies get ready they won't wait for you. ...... Every thing went well, I had twelve pints, wish I had a photo , but my camera is in the shop, we took it in to be repaired yesterday, and was told that it might be June 30th before it will be ready. boo! hoo!
However, I went out to the garden and told the cukes, and squash since they have been working so hard to take tomorrow off, ,.......as I was walking away I heard snickering and laughing, {as if they are going to listen to me}
And speaking of yesterday, Mr P.and I did something we very seldom do, and that was to play hookie from the farm. You should have seen the look the farm animals gave us as we left.{lol} No telling what mischief they got into that we haven't found out about yet.
While out, I went to one of my favorite shops, Hobby Lobby, and boy did I get a surprise there.. First thing first, they had 66% off of selected items and I was like a child in a candy store.I walked and walked up and down those aisles, until I saw a clerk eyeing me, I think she thought I was up to no good, what she didn't know was when you let someone out of the gate, they usually don't know where to go or how to act. {LOL} Any how I got a few items and they were great finds. I will show you when my camera comes back. {I do miss my camera} So bear with me.
The next surprise was,...... Now Girls, you are not going to believe this...they were putting out fall and Christmas decorations. That's right, would you believe it is June and they are already out. I was not unhappy at all, Fall is my favorite season, and Christmas is my favorite holiday, so you can imagine how this country gal was feeling. I think the word would be ECSTATIC!! I know! I know! you are thinking "what is wrong with that girl". Please don't chide me, I didn't buy any holiday decorations, but I did do some browsing, and enjoyed it too! Who knows when I will get back? {big smile} I didn't realize that Hobby Lobby put their fall and Christmas out so early, did you? I must get to the city more often.{smile}....
Tomorrow I plan to be out in the flower garden and pick these. This photo was taken about a week ago, so you can imagine how luscious they are by now,I have been sneaking out there in the evenings and testing them {yummy smile}
Well, I guess this is all for tonight, sleep tight, with gentle thoughts.
Hugs,
Sue
