The boi and I got our Covid-19 booster shots, and I got a shingles vaccine.

I cleaned out the refrigerator AND the freezer. I found a few treasures, too - a pack of beautiful NY strip steaks, some homemade chicken broth, and a ham bone. I also have baby butter beans to cook with the ham bone. I'll be having those in the next few days! Fortunately, I didn't have very much waste to throw out - I hate wasting food because I forgot it was in the freezer for too long!

I made white beans and leeks from scratch. Turned out horrible and it was a lot of hard work. My grandmother made it look effortless. Well I guess in a world with no fast food and a whole bunch of mouths to feed this would be a simple recipe, a very simple one. Yet still I botched it. I don't have her recipe she never used them. She didn't use measuring cups, spoons, scales, timers, meat thermometers or anything like that either. So to learn how to make it the way she did she'd have to be here to show me. Well I won't give up. I can see how it would be better if next time I did this or didn't do that so live and learn. I'll just have to keep at it till I get it right. She wouldn't want me to quit and hey at least I didn't burn it, that's off to a pretty good start right?

Got to get my beauty rest. 😴🤫🤞👗🦋🌺💫🥂

Little things around the house: wiping down the outside of appliances, cutting some flowers for a vase, returning phone calls.

It was a very very busy day in the garden. It was a very cool but sunny 72° weather in northeast Ohio. So I took advantage of it. I had two of my garden helpers come out. One welded, sanded and painted a gorgeous vintage metal round Picnic table set. I’ve had it for years and been waiting to have this done and finally it got accomplished today!
And then myself, and my other helper put together nine raised beds. Then lined them with weed fabric. Once in the ground, we raised cattle panels and turn them into trellises between the beds. This was an incredible amount of work and I swear I am done buying raised beds!
