Cukes

The beginning of 14-day Virginia Chunk Sweet Pickles: Haven't made these in a while but they are very tasty although labor intensive. Had a few leftover cute-cumbers (as the girls used to call them) to make bread & butter pickles also but can't find Grandma's recipe. Still looking.

Harvest Time

Valley View Farm has the sweetest watermelon & cantelope: Marietta Farmer's Market with Joan:
Marietta Farmer's Market:
Joan and I had a great morning at the farmer's market then going to a stand in front of a working farm. The produce was fresh and very tasty. We got corn, cucumbers, tomatoes and other things.

Sister Katie Daw:
Sister Daw is being transferred to Buena Vista, VA tomorrow. Sure will miss her. They
have been a three-some for six weeks and I've had the opportunity to go on splits with them several times and have really enjoyed it.

Callings

Sunday I received two callings and neither one in Primary! :-( One is the chorister in Relief Society. The other is the ward librarian which I have never done before and actually quite excited to start.

Gail Carson Levine books:
More important than getting my driver's license changed to Ohio is getting a Washington Co library card.

Roasting s'marshmallows for s'mores:
Cook-out with the family then at Kara's suggestion, we started a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. After everyone left, I stayed down by the river and watched the sun set then the moon rise. Lovely.

Blackberry season

Saturday, August 1, 2009

lots and lots of blackberries:
Amy and I went pickin' in Bill DeQuasie's patch. Probably shouldn't have worn my white jeans...Looking forward to jam, jelly, blackberry cobbler, berries on top of cheesecake etc. I've already made 2 pies. Yummmm.
