Fellowship and Fun
7/10/07 - 3rd Day - After Breakfast. In this wonderfully and strangely odd weather year, we had one of our first "normal" days yesterday. It was hot and sunny, which is what we usually expect this time of year. Because of all the rain, it was very humid too, which is not altogether normal, but still... it actually felt like July in Texas yesterday. The prognosticators are calling for another hot one today, and for the next few days before it is supposed to cool down over the weekend.
We had a great weekend here at the ranch. The sabbath was nice and restful, then, that night we had some guests from Coleman come out for Q&A. Q&A didn't last long and then we sat out and talked on the porch for a few hours, which was nice. The Lord's Day was great too - the singing was fun and we are learning some new songs, and then we had a dynamite meal:
Smoked Brisket, jalapeno potato salad, broccoli rice casserole, corn bread, brownies, and cookies.
That night we had a sermon and then we stayed around and talked some more in the Ante's house, which was nice.
I have been busy doing a lot of writing, and haven't been as busy on the ranch as I should be. The garden is doing fairly well, and I have learned a ton of things I need to do to make next years garden better. I really need to do a bunch of work on the soil, and hopefully I will begin preparing a new area for a larger garden sometime this fall and winter. It takes years to build up good soil, and we have barely begun the process. Today I will be processing some tomatoes.
My mother and sister are coming today for a few days. They have rented a house out at Lake Brownwood for a few days. On Thursday, Robert is leaving with my mother and heading up to upstate New York (the Saranac Lake area, where my Dad is from) for a family reunion. I am not able to make it this year. My family are not Agrarians so they plan these things for the summer when a farmer is tending his crops and animals. Robert will be gone for almost a month.
Ok, enough for this time.
