Y’all, I just love how my husband thinks. He bought a couple of pounds of green grapes and LOVED them. So he went back, bought more, and canned them so we can have them this winter when we are craving a sweet snack. Truly, he’s a gem.

My yearly reminder to secure your s**t in your truck bed before getting on the road or the freeway.

This lack of responsibility on someone else’s part cost $1000 (the insurance company deemed it a “collision” and charged the deductible), but it could have cost my life.

Strap your stuff down…..

When your face is so badly swollen, your iPhone won’t even recognize you……

Had a little mishap with one of my hives over the weekend. I guess the hive stand started to sink into the ground a bit, causing it to lean. And the weight of the honey in the boxes finally made the whole thing crash down onto the ground. (I had been meaning to fix that whole situation, but procrastination got the better of me) Those bees were MAD.

Mr F&F rushed to the house to get me and I immediately suited up and went down to see what I could do. I was able to reset one deep box and the super, but one of the deeps was so full of honey that I couldn’t even lift it. While trying to remove frames to lighten the load, a couple of those little buggers found their way inside my suit and right to my face. This is only three stings: one on the tip of my nose, one on my cheek, and one on my jawline. But darn, those things hurt, itch, and the swelling is so intense!

Mr F&F suited up and helped and a dear friend/neighbor/beekeeper also came and helped get things back to some semblance of order. We’ll see if this hive recovers from this trauma of having their home crash to the ground. Hoping for the best. Preparing for the worst.

In the meantime, I’ll have to start remembering some passwords so I can access all those apps that use facial recognition…lol

Follow up to that huckleberry picking we did over the weekend. Mr F&F and I took a stroll into our woods and picked 5 cups of huckleberries. Sunday night, I soaked them overnight in my favorite Tempranillo, then Monday made THE most delicious jam.

Thank you for all your suggestions. We still have lots and lots of huckleberries on our property and my next plan is to make ice cream and syrup with them.
And of course, the chickens got some as a treat!

What other suggestions/ideas do you have for huckleberries?

Story Time:

How my morning started…..went out to feed my rabbit BEFORE having my coffee. That was my first mistake.

Didn’t bother wearing gloves. That was my second mistake.

Reached for the lid of the storage container without looking closely. Third mistake.

Grabbed the lid, but instead grabbed a fat slug. That was my fourth mistake.

Screamed (of course because ICK) and jumped back and slipped on the wet pavers. Fifth mistake.

Sat on my bottom on the wet pavers and LAUGHED, because I can’t take this stuff seriously.

Soooo, that’s how my day started. It’s gotta get better from here, right? Please tell me YES!

Anyway, here are a couple of dahlia pics at the end to cleanse the palate from the slug.

Not only is it May 1st, but it’s Worldwide Naked Gardening Day! Hooray for getting out in the garden and getting those plants in the ground.

Okay, I actually don’t garden naked. But if I did, I’ll bet my neighbors would build a free fence for me!
