The
bee-technician was here and confirmed I have no hives on my lot.
The
mobile-home-repair contractor, who did my roof coating a couple weeks ago, was
here to check for possible under-the-home leaks. He said I'm okay for now but
will send an estimate, which I asked for, for the re-piping under the house,
should it come to that.
I'm working on the monthly newsletter this week.
And I'm
working on a pair of men's crocheted slippers for a park neighbor's order and
on a dozen button-face angels for a friend for her order.
This morning, I decided to try some more Sun Tea outside -
it's cool here, in the 50s mostly this week in the daytime, and I'm not sure it
will "brew" but I need to find out - I love the sun tea- no
bitterness, and a gentle delicious soothing flavor. I often use that to heat in
the microwave for some quick hot tea, as well.
I'm trying a slow-cooker apple cake for the first time
today. It's cooking now in the crock pot. I did add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and
1/2 cup dried cranberries. The slight liquid in the dried berries should offset
the dryness of the nuts and not change texture or anything - I also sprinkled a
little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg - will let you know how it comes out - can't
wait - should be smelling it very soon!
And tonight while I am sleeping, I will be slow cooking
another batch of pea soup with a really meaty ham bone and it will be ready
when I get up in the morning.
