days off from the blog - trying to catch up on sleep and busy with work on the house - painting and putting in flooring. Today it was the first annual "Green Bean Festival" in Blairsville, so we just had to check it out. Great experience with many folks selling their fresh produce and arts and crafts - all local farms and craftsmen. It was a good time with fresh apple cider made into slushies - wonderful on a sunny, summer day. Folks are all so friendly and produce in abundance. Delicious - should have taken more cash.
We waited this afternoon for a storm warning - had some rain - but no storms or thunder or real bad weather - being a weatherman is the only job where you can be paid a lot and still be wrong at least 50% of the time! I can usually tell when we are about to get a real storm - it is so dark and cloudy I can't see the mountains nearby. When it is done raining, you can see the mountains through the mist. But when the storm is coming, you can't see the mountains at all.
Had the drive up to the house graded - not rocked yet - need a lot of rain for that to work out - but at least our drive in is less treacherous. Once it is wet enough, it will be rocked and graded and we can add some concrete mix and hold it all together for a better road with a little grip to it. Nothing looks finished around here - stuff is stacked as we work on all the projects. It will start to feel more homey by Fall, I think. Meantime, we just have to be patient.
Lost one of the pepper plants - not sure why - it is in the same pot, with the same soil and fertilizer, same amount of water, but one is dead and the other thrives....tomato plant looks great but no tomatoes or blossoms. The herbs need to be cut back and dried, as they are thriving.
Off for a cuppa decaf and then bed....still catching up on my sleep.
Be blessed,
Kim
