Picked and canned cherries yesterday they tasted a little unripe so we only picked a few. They tasted great canned so we will get some more tomorrow. Picked 3 more quarts of strawberries and froze them for cereal and yogurt. I put them on a cookie sheet and when frozen place them in freezer bags. That way you can only take a few out at a time. Nice relaxing day. Talked to my friend who is fighting a hard battle with lymphoma she is not having a good day, but is in good spirits. Her battle has a long way to go. I look up to her because she never gives up, she is there for me to support me thru my trials and helps me prepare for the upcoming treatments. She is like me in many ways when I was her age. Spunky; do things because we can maybe shouldn't. We like to cross or circumvent the line but now must tow the line and take seriously our illness. We can still have fun we don't have to follow all the rules!!!
Today went to town for groceries and errands. We picked and froze broccoli and kohlrabi. Fresh vegetables just taste so good. We snacked on strawberries from the garden, weeded, and just enjoyed being in the garden checking to see what is next, what is not growing well. Baked fresh bread today it smell divine. Yep most of what we like involves food of some kind it seems! Our outdoor kitchen set up is working great. It is so nice not to have that mess in the house. The old stove in the potting stove works well to can on also. One more full day at home before treatment begins. The roses are blooming very nicely, they smell so wonderful. I have some that are not scented but most are. A rose needs the sweet scent to be complete in my book. Am tired after my full day will relax in my favorite chair, snooze watch some tv.
