Daily Notes- Monday, July 11th. Sunshine and Cooler


 Well.  The Grocery went fine- I had to make substitutions on a few items on my shopping list.  And the bill at the end seemed higher than usual but I have been reading about price hikes on many things.  Yogurts were $1.38 each.  

I have plenty of books on the table to read so I'm going to skip the Library for the moment.  I do have some things to return.

I started the day with a nice hot shower.  New clothes.  Green.  Yesterday I was pink.  I think I remembered to comb my hair....it's something I usually forget. To comb my hair.

Later I will do a load of summer clothes. I am wanting the wash basket to be empty.

Husband took the Porch tomatoes and planted them into the garden in the horseradish bed.  My husband has asked me each time I go to the Garden-- about the horseradish.  About how would we harvest and eat it. And each time I say we dig up the root and grate it- wearing swim goggles-- My grandmother added grated beets and vinegar to make it pink. And then I mentioned it's very strong and hot.  I  liked it on ham sandwiches.  He'll ask again today.  Like Groundhog Day.  Which I watched the other day.

With him...the spoken word does not stick.

There are two zucchini squash and one yellow squash.  In the garden.  I gave the plants a big drink of blue Miracle Grow water.  It worked.  The leaves are now huge and I have fruit on the plants. I'm looking forward to slicing them thin-longwise and then frying and eating them.  In the past, I grew LOTS of squash (arms full) and made pickles.  My Goodness they were Great Pickles.  Now I am excited about three squash.

Husband is excited.  He has a foot doctor appointment this week and a haircut.  

I added a really cute image of piglets to this month's desk calendar.  They peek at me over the keyboard. Add a smile to the typing and reading I do here.

I need to use the brush on the bird bath this morning and then dump the old water and add new fresh water.  Get the sprinklers going on the Peach Trees.  By the time the Peaches would have been ripe- there won't be any on the trees.  Every morning- more unripe peaches on the ground.  That's it.  What are you doing today?

I've heard of making pickles out of small cucumbers, but I've never heard of making pickles out of squash... I'm not a fan of squash (except spaghetti squash) so maybe that's why?
