Doing what I can

 Harvest strawberries,radishes and their greens and a few green onions. 

Fixed stuffed mushrooms, tossed salad with strawberries, radish greens and green onion tops to go with our steak and rolls. 

Set out tricolor rotini, meatballs, pizza sauce and cheese is in frig for Mock Pizza Hut pasta that I used to get 50 yrs ago for our supper tonight. Got raisin pie for dessert from M.

Having issues getting liquid pectin, got recipe from thespruceeats.com to make it from apples. Got old apples so good to go.

I dehydrated extra mushrooms,radish greens and froze banana slices. Will be adding strawberries when they over run us.

I got a recipe for blood orange marmalade, regular orange marmalade and will save zest for all. 

I have 4 more tomato plants that are sprouted and doing decent to take out later June/early July. I have more squash plants to plant this coming week when this freaking cold snap goes away.

We decided to stack wood on the front porch in June instead of waiting until Oct. Hubby took the tractor in for regular maintainence and the shop found a couple things that was going to need fixed so did it now so it won't break on me while he is down with surgery.

I bought some puzzles he can put together so he has something to do. 

Hubby was going to take the wood fencing down so he could cut down the old oak tree that stands taller than our 2 story barn.... NOPE, because it will sit there 2 years down just like the other one E gave him that he still doesn't have cut up and doubt if he does get it cut up before surgery.  He might if E helps but it's a NO GO on the old oak of sitting in my yard when I swing. 

Got it verified that the truck payment should be set to auto pay. 

Since we went shopping Tuesday and still had some things we couldn't find. I ordered them on line. Since Son2 is off without pay while he battles them over it... I will be sharing groceries. Since he likes to cook it will be more of him figuring out what he can eat alone and not have a lot of leftovers. I worry since he won't have much spending money that he won't have any one visit him. Most of his friends are still working and raising kids. 

Dog needs nails clipped, we have doctor appts next week. Regrettfully we can't take her with us like we do the chiro as she would sit far too long waiting on us as our doctor is ALWAYS late. BUT he is a really good doctor and worth the wait. He's one of those that if you need 30 minutes that what you get. Not the you get 10 minutes and then he is walking out the door before you are doing talking about your issues.

Prayers for peace.

Blessed be

With God's Grace go I.

 First the  4 ft by 100 ft Asapargus bed got hit with freeze.

Then 14 beds of garlic got hit with freeze. 

Now 2 solid months of temps 15 to 25 degrees colder than normal.

The F 350 started nickle and diming... okay it was more like $10,000 a year to keep running so got a 2024 F 250. Had it two days and found lights to connect to trailer did not work. Two trips trying to find the problem when another customer walked over and fixed it. Pin to hold it was half way out. The dealership fixed the other guy's truck for free also. 

Nephew got hurt at work, broked leg, the other leg has 15 stitches and his arm is broke in 2 places and having to have surgery. Thankfully he still lives at home so he doesn't have to worry about covering his bills. Car is paid off also. According to his mom, she must have went to be a nurse for this alone.

Son 2 was home on admin with pay to finish filing his medical retirement... he got notice today they suspended him without pay.His "old" boss got moved to another building .His doctor finished the paperwork yesterday  so Doctor thinks they are trying to get out of covering him.. Now lawyer will have to get involved. I told him to finish his SS first so he has some income coming in. 

Hubby talked to the surgeon's office. Most likely he will not be able to use the hand for 6 months, possible up to 12 months based on how long it took him the first time of recovering. SIGH. He goes in first week of June to figure out when. 

Couldn't figure out why my heels hurt... got planter warts on both feet. GRRRR.

With God's grace go I.
