Well guys the generator move got started yesterday, the wiring for it has been buried and Patrick is still outside working on covering up the line. Now, next week the electrician is back out to move the generator, fuel tank, and get it hooked back up. We were afraid to be without power so we decided it was probably better to do it in two parts that way in the event it storms and the power goes off we won't be without the good old electricity:) Sure will be glad when it's over. Patrick used the shovel so much yesterday that he has an immense blister in the palm of his hand I don't know how he's doing much today I know his hand has to be hurting. Umm I wonder what the next "event" will be off the "honey do" list???
Thankfully the storm didn't do much at all. We had a small amount of rain last night which was definately much needed and that was all. I'm thankful it didn't interfere with the oil disaster/leaks. Actually it looks like that disaster is pretty much under control or at least for now. I only hope that the temporary fix lasts until the new wells can be drilled and the leaking one closed completely.
Dad is Dad, sitting in his chair and mainly watching TV. He's getting ready for dinner tonight, Pat's grilling chicken for himself and some marinated pork chops for Dad & I. We haven't had any pork in a long time & it's sounding good already. I just made the marinade for the pork and have to get with Patrick for the chicken marinade he likes it spicey and I never seem to get it right so I defer to him for perfection.
Our garden is pretty empty, we still have all the herbs which we use daily, several tomatoes and a few red peppers that are still growing. Squash is completely gone and the long sweet peppers as well. The preparation on the winter garden is moving along I noticed that Patrick plowed it up again Friday, just getting it ready for the August/September planting. I know one thing, we have certainly utilized what was planted for summer and the gym has gotten their share of the crops.
Well, I hear the tractor running so I better run outside & see what Pat's doing. I'll blog again later. Stay inside (according to our news it's hotter there then here - what's up?), stay cool, and enjoy the end of the weekend. We love & miss everyone.
Love,
Patty
