Of course you all know I live with my grandmother and my uncle lives next door. He raised a wonderful garden this year.
So far we have put up peas, 50 bags of green beeans, 35 dozen ears of corn, squash, pickles, and that may be it for now but we still have late green beans and corn, plus the fall items.
Wow, I have broke up green beans and shucked corn till my thumbs are truely green!
How much is it worth to you to stop junk mail from coming to your home? Would you love to become active in planting trees in the U.S. Join this group as I have to clean up and plant trees.
I fell and broke my arm in December so I haven't posted as much as usual. My right are is broke just below the shoulder and jamed back together with a small spinter on one side. The shoulder has two fractures where the rotator cuff is and I have been in pain now for a month. It is starting to heal though and I should be able to get rid of my sling in a couple of weeks.
In the mean time you can here me on blogtalkradio every Wednesday at noon with the Lunch Bunch.
This picture shows, what we call here in Krypton, a Table Rock formation. Maybe some giant used to use this as his dining table in the way past. Who knows, but it is beautiful. Once I walk out of my grandmother's yard, I only have to walk a few hundred feet until I can see this rock. In the summer, you can't see it at all for all the foliage. Some of these rock formations here in Eastern Kentucky will be destroyed as coal companies use "mountain removal" coal mining practices.
I saw my cousin, Cathy, at church last week and she confirmed that my bonnet was made by her mother. Cathy's mom was my great-aunt. Cathy also gave me a picture of my grandfather. I had never met him or even seen a picture of him until today. Mystery solved. I'll share this with my children so the story won't get lost again.
I not only went out of town for Thanksgiving but then got too sick with a cold to post. But I am back and well. I just finished a project with my aunt about our 6 generations I hope to post soon. I just have to figure out how to post a power point presentation so you can hear the music too. I'll figure it out.
It is just 21 days until Christmas -- are you ready yet? I am no where near ready. I make all my gifts to give away and since they are nice gifts, it does take me a while. This year I am making dolls, tote bags, purse, a quilt, table linens and yo-yo ornaments. Lordy I need to get busy!
I'll post pictures as I finish and tell my children and grandchildren not to peak.
