Another Week Flies By

Hi friends and fellow bloggers,

Today is a mixed bag of weather. It is mostly cloudy with a few brighter spots. It hasn't rained today but it did rain yesterday.

I continue to be busy with all the paperwork. I'm also catching up on tax filing. One of the things that's been on my 'to do' list for awhile. I did tell you in my last post (read here if you like) that I had gotten very far behind on my personal business while I was busy care giving. Now I have an opportunity to get everything back on track.

Right now I'm cooking beans (kidney beans and chick peas) in the instant pot. I need to get back to healthier eating and beans are good for the blood sugar. I also roasted some yams and sweet potatoes and cut up some red peppers, English cucumbers and avocados.  I will be blanching some green beans and boiling some eggs.  All of these will be used throughout the coming day and if I don't feel like eggs I can have some fish or some chicken.  But for dinner tonight will be some coleslaw and smokies along with roasted red peppers and onions.

A few photos of my garden.

These are what came up from some wild seeds I planted.

These geraniums are late to bloom. These are the first flowers coming out. Black eyed Susan behind them will be opening soon.

A few strawberries ready for eating.

I'm reading a new digital book, The Dutch House by Ann Patchett, on loan from the library.

A few years ago I read Bel Canto, another book by the same author and I enjoyed it very much.

Ann Patchett is a wonderful story teller.

 

I  learned that the local library will not be open until September though other branches have already reopened. Until then they have extended loan periods for books previously on loan before the pandemic.

In cat news I decided not to wait any longer for a call back for interview and called the rescue center myself to make sure they received the cat matching information.  The woman decided to interview me on the spot so that turned out well. We discussed various cats that are awaiting adoption and now I just have to wait to hear when a cat comes available for me to view and decide. I am not the first person on the list for any of the cats which we discussed so I have to be patient.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thank you for stopping by.

Note:  As always, if you have an interest in African missions please see the various links at the side bar. We covet your prayers.
