Hanging out with Lynn is always a potential opportunity for fun. Yesterday was no different.
Lynn asked me to come down and help "pound posts." I had no idea what that would look like, but I readily agreed. I picked a bucket of apples up for the boys and headed down. She had five (I think) barbed wire, metal fence posts loaded on the quad. She added a heavy, two-handled "pounder" and we were off.
Talk about easy! She must have been doing all the hard work, because honestly I thought we could've done the whole fence line! (: She cautioned me that the next day might remind me how old I am and that I should pace myself. Too true--I always forget!
From there we talked about making jelly from cherry plums. What a good idea! So we went to pick them. It was a hoot! We put a sheet down and then shook the tree! Plums went raining into the sheet--bouncing off our heads. We got a whole five-gallon bucket! I am excited to start cooking them tomorrow and then turning them into jelly. I love canning. It falls under that "instant gratification" column.
So there you have it--one real country girl and one quasi-country girl doing chores. (:
Ok so when I come over you guys are going to have red Cherry spots in your hair, Coming over Labor day and the weekend after to have again lots of fun
ReplyDeleteVicki always wanted that red Indy hair highlights :)
ReplyDeleteWe are not old! Easier to pace yourself then go at it like were killing snakes, and end having some aches we wish we didn't have. It was easy. Not so much when you do it by yourself. Then it just gets awkward. Or so it was for me.
Picking cherry plums was a hoot. Doing the juice tonight :) Yum good jelly. Pancakes here it comes :)
So excited your coming over! Gonna be fun, I am sure of that. :)
Remember when I took Indy's tail hair into Brenda? She laughed at me, but I was serious! (:
ReplyDeleteBring Gordy--Joe Sisk wants to have an informal reunion of sorts. Maybe BBQ at one of our houses. I love celebrating your birthday by riding! I hope we do into our 80s and beyond!
