What I Did This Weekend

Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!

It was a really busy and fun weekend, that found me working in the garden, processing jams, and clearing the garden of dead squash vines. On Saturday, we had such lovely hot weather and sunshine, that I just felt compelled to work outside in the garden.

This got me thinking about next years garden! What plants do I want to have, how many of them do I want to have and since my squash and zucchini got powdery mildew later in the season, I would like to get disease resistant seeds. What can I do to keep the tomato cut worms from decimating my plants? And where can I purchase pea fences for my pea plants to climb. Yes, next years garden is already on my mind!

Hubby helped me with the jam and we made 19 half pint jars on Friday and 19 half pint jars on Sunday! When my cousin Janet was here on Sunday I sent her and Dave off with a little stash of home made canned goodies!

Hubby and I watched “From Lark Rise to Candleford” on Saturday, and I always feel so enriched after that show. It’s a show with a beautiful message. It is very sad that the show has been canceled in it’s native England. I will miss it.

I watched a few chick-flicks while I was working on making the jam. “The Time Traveler’s Wife”, “Life As We Know It”, as well as a morning of “Say Yes To The Dress”. Those shows were all about how to buy a wedding dress, and Randy gave his rules for shopping, including how to be a good Mother to your shopping daughter. One terrible mother chose her Mother of the Bride dress, and it MATCHED the brides, except it was a bright peacock blue! No one could believe it!!!

So that brings me to Sunday night, where I am sitting in my old recliner enjoying the quiet around me. What a great (if not busy) weekend!
