I baked turnips with garlic and breaded zuke and eggplant.

Made sauce with two pounds of fresh tomatoes.

All turned out well.

I went to CVS to pick up a photo order and of course, three employees and another customer assumed the worst, that I was trying to avoid the checkout line. I started to cry in sheer frustration. The clerk was sincerely apologetic and helped me with my order when the idiot machine failed to read the QR code.

Ron did the same when I burnt my hand on a hot cookie sheet, figuring that I yelled because I lost my temper and not because I was hurt.

The grease smoke from the oven mishap did disrupt the house, but thank goodness, once again, for the whole house fan, which took care of it.

It was hot and humid outside, so the poor central a/c has had hard duty to fix our air so that we can breathe.

Ron is off to pick up Robert. We/I packed him some baked veggies and dipping sauce.

The rower arrived on Labor Day. It was well packaged and one of us cut the sensor wire by mistake. Ron fixed it this morning and set it up on rubber mats at the bottom of the basement stairs. He’s done a lot of cleaning and arranging to make room.

I did a couple of hours of farm work yesterday – beans and turnips – and not a lot else. Ron picked up the produce. Drove Robert home last evening, gave him some watermelon.

This morning I took on some difficult transplanting in front of the fence, which was overgrown with coreopsis. Moved a hosta and a day lily.

Ron did the weekly transfer station run. All this before noon.

We and our guests enjoyed yesterday’s cookout. The weather was good and I managed to not overcook the burgers and franks.

Made a big salad and finished the deviled eggs in the morning. Ron vacuumed, cut up the watermelon and shucked the corn; I cleaned the bathroom, made the melba toast/sweet pepper appetizers and did some last-minute weeding and pruning. Did a couple of quick runs for ice (Ron) and citronella candle and lemon (me).

Ron loaded the dishwasher and I finished kitchen cleanup. Not much to do this morning.

We walked from the Community Gardens to the pond. Ron treated us to Naukabout, which was nice.

We did a transfer station run with cardboard and yard work leavings, then drove to the Oak Street overpass but there were no locals and very little traffic, so we headed back home via Route 6A.

Invited friends for a cookout tomorrow. Did a shop yesterday and finished up early this morning.

We did a 2+ mile walk to Johns Pond Estates this morning.

I finished mowing and did a cleanup of the driveway garden, the corner garden and the area in front of the fence.

Made potato salad and boiled eggs for tomorrow. We had leftovers in pita bread for lunch and tomato sandwiches for supper.

Ron has been moving things around in the basement and put some “stuff” in the attic, including his beer bottles. Found a wet spot on the floor but not near any plumbing.

Put a serious dent in the tailgate the other day and got a couple of repair estimates yesterday. Tailgate still works, but there are options if I want it replaced.

Ron did three loads of laundry and polished the headlights on the truck so that they look new. I ordered another kit for his van.

We did a transfer station run.

Loaded VS2019 community edition on the Dell.

Small shop at Job Lot.

Picked kale for two hours this morning at the farm.

Roasted cabbage with garlic and fennel – very good – and Japanese eggplant.

Ron got his email account squared away and now has a week of junk to wade through.

I voted, not too exciting: the big primary races are for the Democrats, Senate and (for the County) Cape Cod Commission.

Did not realize there is a labyrinth at the Quashnet school. Sometimes it pays to wander off the beaten path.

Got my blood pressure taken at doc’s: it was 126/something. Hard to believe.

Back to the farm for CSA.

Picked green beans, I think 28 quarts, for two hours at Pariah Dog yesterday afternoon. Got to see the little guy; what a doll!

Made baba ganoush and roasted vegetables with noodles yesterday.

I never received my mail-in ballot and was too late to vote yesterday, but did drop off Ron’s. Did a small grocery shop on the way back.

Picked up our balsamic vinegar at Uncle Bill’s.

Made a batch of oatmeal this morning.

Did a couple of walks over the weekend on the Shining Sea bikeway.
