Good Morning Everyone
Mornin', Ruth. I really like your new avatar. I opened a thread yesterday, and immediately said, "who's that?..oh, it's Ruth!" Now I know it's a peacock orchid. Have a great time filling your new beds. I love cosmos!
Cottage, I made the cake. It was very good, and was a hit at home. I like things that aren't as sweet these days. I added extra ginger and would have put more in but I ran out. I did leave the candied ginger out-figured it was
. I, too, am anxiously awaiting vegies. I picked my first zucch and have one more coming, but I could eat one a day now if they would just grow faster. I'm going to check out the solar dryer. Thanks for the link. Have a great day!
Sophie, hope you got some rest. By the time you checked in yesterday it was past my bedtime!
Cyndi, great score on the weights. I have a whole weight-room in my basement I'd love for someone to take away. It hasn't been used for at least 10 yrs, because DH lifts 3x a week at a really nice club, but for some reason he can't detach. Using it isn't an option because the house was built in 1887 and the basement is toxic.
Luckyguppie, Hi
I don't like many artificial sweeteners, but Crystal Light and the generics make a tropical punch. It must remind me of childhood and Hawaiian Punch, but I really like it. Early on, it would satisfy a sweet craving, but I don't guzzle it. I prefer water now.
Me, up early
I'm going west today to the heart of Colorado fruit country. Palisade is 80 miles from here. I'm taking a friend to a dental appt, but she said we can do whatever else I want. I will stop at our favorite organic orchard to see if there are any freestone peaches yet. I like to can, but DH dries cases of them.
I hope their season hasn't been too slow. I will
to
, meet DH and Mom there, put my bike on the car and head out from there. I'll get my house chores done early and will check in later.
Have a great day everyone! Thanks for being here. I think I'll have another cup o' joe
