today ended my third week of retirement, and it's hot enough ,here in The Old Dominion ,to fry eggs on the hood of my Ram; far as I know ,it's like that all over my half of the U.S...hope everyone stuck close to the AC .
I did venture out to the garden in the very early morning ,to gather some huge tomatoes, a good many summer squash ,and some lovely red and yellow bell peppers, plus a handful of fine red, spring onions...
the rest of the morning found the wife and I processing our harvest into a crockpot of fresh pasta sauce, a pot of yellow squash with onions ,and peppers ,stuffed with a rice and sausage mixture...
in spite of our work ,I still managed to enjoy bowls of Union Square ,Amphora Original ,and now ,some Two Friends EC mixed with CB gold.
with most of the weeks cooking done ,we can zap something in the microwave and not heat up the range ;so stop over for a plate , and a smoke. Herb. |

Congratulations on your retirement, Herb...enjoy the freedom and peace and joy of not having to go to work anymore...all the work you do is because you want to do it...in your garden with fresh food...that is the way to go!!

Three weeks in it must be starting to feel real rather than like an extended vacation; congratulations!
