Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap
Good Monday to you fine party people! I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend. We kind of did. What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave. While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet. It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope! 😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes. I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot. I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter. Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...
I have gone apple picking and I like doing that when it's not too crowded out there. I don't bake but if I did I'd make apple pie because that is the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely orchard time! Can't wait to see your mouth watering pics!
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, I know you love it
I thoroughly enjoy this time of year and am hoping to go to the orchard in the next week or two when it cools down (back in the mid 80's next week). I used to make this amazing apple bundt cake of my mom's that was so delicious! The hubs isn't a big dessert guy, and the cake makes a lot, so this year I decided I'm going to make a fun apple tart with a mix of Granny Smith and Pink Lady apples, and Pinata apples (for a tropical twist).
ReplyDeleteI sometimes see an ad for a "pick your own" place, but I haven't ever been able to figure out exactly were it is. Maybe this is the year. Mom has an apple tree in her yard so if I'm up there at the right time I will bring a bunch home. I love apple pie, but I love it even more if someone else makes it. My favorite thing to do with apples is to make applesauce. It's easy, a few spices and my crockpot, it make the house smell fantastic, it freezes well, and it tastes amazing.
