Reading your post brought back lots of memories of days gone by. When i was a kid my grandfather owned a dairy farm they had 7 kids so when the crops came in everyone came, lots of cousins and we all sat around shelling peas and butterbeans and shucking corn and of course there were several homemade ice cream freezers going at once and the boys got to turn the crank, there were also several water melons in the creek. To get them cold. As far as the chickens go i still laugh about this when i think about it, grandma sent me out to get a chicken i was probably 9 , she told me just how to do it, catch the chicken grab him by the neck swing him around, she called it ringing his neck, then throw him on the ground, so i finally caught a chicken, easier said than done, i did just what she told me threw him down and he just got up and ran off. Of course they were all hiding around the corner watching me and laughing. They knew what was going to happen just a whole family of pranksters. So the next day grandpa sent me out to the barn to get him a skyhook, i didnt really know what a skyhook was but i was sure i had seen one in there, so i got what i thought would certainly be it and i brought it to him, he said thats not it , how am i going to hook that to the sky, my response was i thought you would know. Those were great times with family that will live forever in my memory, so enjoy yours, its the most fun you will ever have.

Goood Morning Dog Days! Wow it is the middle of the heat of Dog Days…OMG. Back home they have gone from Dandelion greens and asparagus just a few weeks ago to now fresh Half Runner green beans, corn on the cob, zucchini, onions, and strawberries. Get out the canner. Snapping beans all morning under the shade tree, Home made ice cream on Sunday after church and sleeping next to an open window at night to stay cool. Chicken at every meal as we had to eat the old chickens as the new White Rock layers were starting to lay eggs. I hated plucking old chickens, but I loved the egg yokes, liver and hearts floating in the gravy. Ten (10) gallon crocks of sauerkraut stinking up the house. Check the moon signs before making kraut or cutting your nails. And the kids are picking Blackberries along the fence row, Watch out for copperheads as they are blind during Dog Days and will strike at anything that moves. BTW Dog Days is a remnant tradition of the Holy Roman Empire.

Get on ,Hold on, Shut up!

Maybe have the rider sign a wavier...?😄

Those cargo boxes really look nice on your cat.

GOOOD moroning PEI,...Aeghh! Prince Edward Island the smallest province in Canada but arguably the most beautiful. Located on the Gulf of St Larwence you cannot go far on the Island without seeing the ocean. Been there several times ( The airport has signs printed in Japanese as there are so many tourists from Japan) go figure. But every time go I am impressed by the friendly people and the spectacular scenery. Never seen the whales. Darn it. But the first time OMG will never forget! Girls always remember the first time... my first boyfriend , First date First real kiss..wow but PEI was my first ... time I tasted TIM HORTONS COFFEE! Heaven be blessed i was addicted. I get regular orders from Amazon so I ever run out. I buy bens and use a Burr grinder Toujours Frais
