Sunday in the North.
A birthday girl in the house, so phone calls from near and fare to the little one. We will celebrate her next weekend. It just does not seam right to us, to celebrate her, when so many others are remembering their lost ones. Out of respect for those who lost their life to others hate.
Still 6 years ago the weather was nice, like today, maybe not so warm. Bob reminded me how hard I squeezed his hand during my labor pain. So his fingers where blue.
We harvested some of the vegetables for tomorrows deliveries. I got too warm as I picked beans, so I need help to get back in the house. Not funny, but it has happened to me before, so I should have listen to my body. But I just wanted to finish.
We have frost warning for Tuesday and Wednesday night, so we are making a game plan. Drizzle hay over ground plants, like beans, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and so on. Put frost blankets on flowers and rhubarb. Yes, our rhubarb is still nice and tender. If you harvest from the first shoots, and always take out the think ones, you will have rhubarb to enjoy all summer and fall. Never let is set flower bud, unless you plan to harvest seeds!!!
We baled hay again, picked 60 square bales up, and on a trailer, and have fun doing it. Not bad for a Sunday in the North.
