A picture is worth a thousand words, isn't it? Yesterday was pickling day, and what a great day it was. AND an INTERESTING one, to say the least. Here is what went on here on Thursday:
1. Mustard pickles -- Natalie and Granny laboured over these
2. Tomato relish - Natalie food processed and stirred forever
3. Peach jam and general Aiden duty -- Deb
4. Puttin' up a few beans -- Deb
5. Playing the Omnichord: 93-year-old Sid from across the street came over with his Omnichord. We all took a turn. Sid sang and played for us while we were pickling, I had a song or two, and then Natalie had a great time with this unique musical instrument. Nat absolutely LOVES the omnichord. Granny used to have one (a newer model) but she sold it this summer on Kijiji.
6. Becky entertained us with her presence and drank coffee, ate my famous guacamole (well it's not that famous), hummus and general Aiden duty. She went home at supper but came back and stayed the night
7. Becky & Natalie had drives around the house on the lawn in the chair that Doug built (a Laz-y-Boy atop a set of wheelchair wheels. Matthew across the street now owns it). They had a blast on this and we laughed hilariously
8. Natalie did scads of laundry of baby girl clothes that she acquired at Wendy's yard sale. She doesn't even know if she has a girl, but is acting in faith. Pray for a girl!
9. BBQ supper and clean-up
10 Movie night
11. To bed at 11 -- what a day
I just finished blanching some more beans from my garden, and am preparing to go to Black's Harbour tonight. Grand Manan on Saturday for Q's son's wedding (Casey & Winter), and then on to Campobello for Mother's Camp next week. Probably won't blog til I come back unless I find internet (which IS possible sometimes).
Have fun everyone!
