Yes, Labor Day weekend and the gas goes up. Hoping it will go down again next week.
bought potatoes and carrots to get ready to can some beef stew. It makes for easy and fast meals. So going to start that in the next few days. Took DH to his heart doctor today. For the most part things are ok. But his not sleeping at night is not good. So Doc. suggested calling his primary doc for a sleep study. If nothing found then heart doc. is going to do a cath. to see if anything going on there. He only has 30 percent of his heart working and the muscle is weak. So he is going to check into what can be done. Hoping there will be some way to increase heart function, but need to find out why he is not sleeping much. So on that note, we have decided to forgo a garden for next year as I have not been able to keep up doing it all on my own. So next year it will be the farmers markets. Just have to figure out how I want to buy in a way I can get it all canned and then move on to what other foods we need that I want to buy to get canned. If that makes any sense. I have already started pulling up tomato plants and cucumber plants. Green bean plants I pulled last week. Still hoping for some butter beans. Beans are starting to form in the shell now but not fast enough as this is almost Sept and this is a late crop. Still got to clean out the flower beds as well and get mulch down.
