The Canoe

Can't complain.  Plenty of sunshine without the humidity.

The boys entered from the small pasture this morning.

After breakfast Rebel snuck out without his mask and headed for the apple tree.

Eventually I got it on him.

Little Wonder has been testing me.  He always goes out as soon as I get up, and when I was ready to head out to the barn at 8 he said "no deal."  As soon as Gary appeared he changed his mind and joined me.

After chores I went out to pick a couple cabbages .  For some reason Gary planted red.

The Brussels sprouts are starting to kick in.

Also found a couple green peppers and our first tomatoes

Finn came up for a short time to help put an air conditioner in one of the upstairs bedrooms.  Then,  he and Gary brought the canoe out of the shed and put it on horses so it could be cleaned.  I had already watered all the veggies and most of the flower gardens so the hose was ready.  Jenny, who is getting married on the 10th, is going to be serving drinks out of the canoe and now it's nice and clean.  We have had it for at least 3 decades and have hardly used it, so it's in mint condition.

When that was finished I decided to wash my car....after that, took it easy for awhile.  Lots of company is going to be coming and I tried to get organized on paper.  Who's arriving at the airport at what time?  How many people are staying here....what nights?  What are we going to eat?  Blah.Blah.Blah.

After a nap, I wanted to do something with the cabbage...decided to sauté it with onions and apples, then made it sweet and sour.  Served it with the leftover zucchini pie from last night and it tasted great, even tho it was a weird combo. We have had many vegetarian meals this week.

Chores at 7:30.  Have been so pleased with the weather for the past three days....now if it would just rain. No mask on Buddy.

I got on my old John Deere and found the mask in the last place I looked.

That was that.

Night all.
