It has rained a good part of the day. The weather cast was for showers, but it was a good soft, steady soaking rain up until about 2:30 PM. We can always use some extra moisture.
I continue to stock up. I bought two more tins of ham, some bread and butter pickles and some sweet relish. Also found some olives. I bought sugar for $1.00, a four lb. bag. Everything for a buck. Now, to find a place to store my stash.
I will start looking for sales on meats and chicken to put in the freezer. That may be a challenge because meat is high/expensive here. I will watch for any good deals.
Every time I eat I get sleepy. I stopped at Captain D's for lunch and now I could go to bed. I keep yawning.
I really can't get into the garden because it is so wet. I want to freeze some Spinach and Swiss Chard. Need more green stuff when the white stuff comes floating down and I can't get out into the sun.
Because we have had such an early spring and cool summer I am expecting an early fall and cold winter. I want to be ready for it so I won't have to go out too often if things get frigid, icy and windy.
I got a new battery for my 1960 Rambler. I can't lift it so I will have to get someone to put it in for me. I did not want to spend the money on a new battery, but sometimes you have to do what needs to be done. Batteries are not cheap, esp for an old car that takes an odd sized battery.
I hate to see summer go. The tree frogs have been singing their songs at night for a while now and it sounds like the season is meandering away. At least the mosquitoes will be gone, too. Because the yards on both side of me have been let go the bugs and mosquitoes have thrived. Every time I go out the door I get drilled and itch for days afterwards. I hope I give the bugs some garlic delight to feast on. Yum, garlic blood; those humans sure know how to season themselves!!
Time to drink my green tea and try to wake up****END
