In honor of Labor Day, I am going to …… have another baby! No no – that is absolutely not going to happen. I will probably not labor at all, but rather fritter and waste my time in an offhand way…
I am still in shock over the camera thing. And I’m not the only one – Riley can’t believe it either. His main concern, naturally, is a reduction in his cookie allowance since I won’t be trying to get him to pose for any pictures. Here, he contemplates his cookie-less existence with dismay.
I have a lot of beans to get done up. I am thinking bean salad for dinner maybe. The beans aren’t from these plants – this is our [using the term “our” term very loosely of course because Lar is the veggie gardener] 3rd planting of “Jade” green beans this summer. If we get an early frost we won’t get any beans from them, but we still plant the third planting every year because you just never know.
There is a pail of hot peppers mocking me from their location on my kitchen floor. Not for long though – into some jars with brine those suckers go. Refrigerator pickled hot peppers. Others will go into the freezer. I am sending some of them to work with Larry in hopes he can give them away. Probably not many though – buncha wimps, those guys.
I have to pot up the coconut palm I got at the grocery store last night – the thing is huge, in wonderful condition [for living in a grocery store particularly] and cost $8! And I am relearning how to use the Nikon Coolpix which I have barely touched since January.
Enough rambling for one day I guess. I’ll leave you with this daylily I think I missed showing you before – “Grandfather Time”, Wild, 1966. An oldie, but goodie.
What are you doing today? Do tell!
What am I doing? I’m coming to your house!
Today I am working half a day and then going to go about decorating the house for Fall and move some furniture around in the living room. And then back to the quilt. I have to get it done before the holidays.
Hmmm, exercising and baking a cake! Makes sense right?
Where is the picture of the palm? I want to see.
Love the daylilly.
Today I am making a cake.
Going to a BBQ, of course! The last of the grilled hot dogs and hamburgers!
Hope all is well with you! I am back to blogging after a little time off, hope you can hop on over!
:0)

Besides staining the new deck railing – as little as humanly possible!
Love that daylily.
I did a 10-mile bike ride and then played a computer game with my husband. Totally a fun day here.
I was thinking of you today, and the camera situation and my heart goes out to you.
Today I took George on a good long walk, went shopping with my husband to get work shirts for him, then went shopping by myself to stock up on new clothes for school. (Read: ones that actually fit). Good luck with the camera.
Forgot to mention: was I the only one who noticed the fact that you quoted a Pink Floyd song in this post?
First – thanks everyone for the thoughts about my camera. I am not going to fret over it. [much] I am sending it off to Nikon in the morning and will hear back from them in a day or two and will decide what to do after I find out what costs will be.
Ellyn – look on your cell phone. ☺
Anyone is welcome to come along Mental P – ust brinf some rubber gloves – these peppers are hot!
Cathy – if you are going to exercise, you need to keep your strength up so a cake makes sense to me.
Ness – can't wait to see the quilt when it is finished.
Ruth – sounds like maybe you shopuld have some cake too! Seriously – way to go on the bike ride!
Hi Tara & Ollie – I have missed seeing you guys lately. :)
Kate – You seem to be the only who got it. Or at least the only one who mentioned it. I love to categorize events in my life by the lyrics to old rock songs – doesn't everyone?
Head to my blog to find out what I did today. Long story. Off to bed.
Having family over for a last of the summer gathering. Perfection!
Hmmm! What did I do? I went to my little grandsons 3rd birthday party, kept my granddaughters over night and had unexpected company for dinner. But it was only my sister and her family so we had fun visiting and the cousins all got to play. My grandkids are around the same age as her kids….can you tell my sister was a little late spark in my parents eyes? haha!
