Good Morning Ladies!

Wow - you're up and running today, lol. Got hubby out the door and now peeking in here for a bit with a cup of coffee then need to do a weee bit of housework - can't get ugly, ya know? Then I'm heading to the soap room for most of the day. I'm doing the Farmer's Market in the morning and I'm low on products - that is both good and bad, LOL!

I hope you all have a blessed and beautiful day!

HUGS!

Good Morning everyone! Wet here in SW Ohio!! Rained all night..humid all day yesterday. I was watching the national weather yesterday...wow the northwest is scorching HOT!! I just can't believe it..record high temps. Washington State seems to be the worst...and from what they said, air conditioning isn't common there, so they are really suffering.

DH went to the showgrounds to work on the last of the old schooldesks and get them into the school..and if there's time, he'll work on the temporary handrail for the wheelchair ramp. Tomorrow we will all go and clean out the log cabin (where I work during the show) and the General Store (where DH's daughter will work). That will be after I have my monthly breakfast with my friend in the morning. At least it won't be hot!

I'm having my first coffee and got a load of laundry in the washer..gotta check the rest of the posts. BBL

PS - Bubbles your soap is sitting here by the computer smelling up my room!!!! Valerie sent me some as a prize. Man, I LOVE that smell!!!!!

Dolores Fons and Porter makes a thick handles seam ripper. It is easy on the hands,

My sis brought over 4 quarts of black rasberries she picked so I will make jam. I need to run up to the store and get some pectin as I am all out. I also need some lids. I can probably get 6 to 8 jars of jam out of this, I will split with her, Homemade is so good. Out of this all I will probably have one piece of toast with some of the jam on it and that will be all. I am not a jam person. But I love making it.

I also have to run up and get some glue sticks....I have about 40 more applique pieces to do.

The garden is looking very bad, The mosquitos are so furocious you cant even work out there, and the gound hog has destroyd so much of it. My tomatoes are not looking good either, It is very disappointing. But next year we may try something different, No biggie. I learn each year by my mistakes. I will have a lot of potatoes and rutabaga, and squash. I am getting some green beans also but not many, I live in an area with lots of farm markets so I will just support the local economy.

I am about 2 miles from a peach and apple orchard, I will probably can peaches this year to make up for some of the stuff I didn't get from the garden. Right now I had better get my behind in gear. BBL

Lots going on here this morning. As usual, I'm at work.

Joanne, we must have seen the same news - were you watching ABC. I thought about our Washington state girls here who are trying to stay comfortable in that heat without air conditioning. I hope cooler weather comes for them really soon.

It's down-right oppresive here. When I got to my office it was 85* with about 90% humidity. The air is so heavy you can feel yourself walking thru it - UGH. You walk out the door and immediately break out in a sweat. The rain that's in Texas is all north and east of my area but we sure feel the humitity from it. We really really really need some rain.

Going to read a bit more and then get busy. Have to get some money in the bank today. BBL

I'm back. That was the fastest trip I took to the office in a long time. The ladies that I work with didn't like the sound of my cough (it's a cough, nothing more) said I looked terrible (hey what do they expect for a friday) and said I should go home. Soooooo I will be baking zucchini brownies today and then get the stuff to make a bundt cake, and what all to take to a picnic tomorrow. Judi, feel free to send me some jam anytime, actually, why don't you just come deliver it. We always have room for an rv. One of the attorney's at our office has the tomato topsy turvy thing growing and it is working great. we are apple country so in about 2 1/2 weeks we will start getting apples. Hoping to get peaches in Pa. I love to freeze them. Everyone please stay safe, there sure is a lot of nasty weather all over the country

Judi, I love jam! Years ago I made alot of herb jelly...Lemon Verbena, Rosemary, Lavender, Sage. NO ONE but me would eat it!! LOL! You just basically use an apple jelly and infuse the herbs in it, then strain them out. It's really good, but the idea or the name of the jelly sometimes put people off. My kids still laugh! LOL!

Cindyg I'd be climbing the walls if I were you! I hate it when we need rain and it is humid!! Yesterday just walking through the house made me break out in a sweat. And it was only in the low 80's, but the humidity was through the roof!

Well, I've got to finish putting the clothes into the dryer and go to the sewing room and turn on the air up there. I want to work on the rest of the bathroom curtains today...I get on here and the time just goes! LOL!!
