Well Wednesday started out with rain early on then the sun came out and it warmed up close to summertime temps. We stayed around the cabin except for our noon time hike. I got a load of laundry out on the clothesline which turned out to be a perfect day for drying outside. On our hike to the top of the mountain we saw the Cline's and they blessed us with some fresh picked green beans and tomato's and then when we got back neighbor Gerald had dropped off a bag of okra and tomato's from Raleigh. So we are "tomatoed up" with the bag we picked up from Joe's yesterday.
After our morning roll out around 7'ish, quiet times and the posting of the ramble we had breakfast burritos. I of course added jalapenos to mine along with tomato and onions and lots of Chrystal hot sauce. Yeow was that ever tasty and the pepper was very hot. That held us until nearly two when we got back from visiting on top of the mountains with several folks at the Cline's. The Heglar's were there along with her mom and their neighbors Russ and Linda also Jetta Browning and then Dean Todd came by as well. We had a good old fashion sit down talk with everyone for nearly an hour or more.
We came back with our bounty to find more bounty on the porch then decided to have meatloaf sandwiches for lunch once again. I shared some of the bean bounty with neighbor Gerald and some of the okra and bean's with our "mountain mom" Helen. We fried up the okra for supper and was it ever delicious along with some fresh beans and a pork chop.
I decided to lime and fertilize the back woods yard so that kept me busy while working up a good sweat. It got ready humid there for awhile before an afternoon breeze cooled things down. We could hear it rumble in the distance and a few clouds gave us a reprieve from the sun but no rain fell and by late afternoon it was pleasant out once more. I sat on the porch and read until neighbors George and Gail came by for a sit down spell on the back porch. We all had a glass of vino until it was time to start some supper. They headed out and I fired up the grill for the chops and Nancy got the okra ready for the frying pan. I love to munch on okra raw as it has a clean taste and one that I really enjoy but frying is the best way to eat it. Nancy cuts it length wise before dipping it in egg and cracker meal which really speeds up the frying process. I could eat okra and egg plant like that until it comes out my ears.
We took a couple laps around the yard after the clean up as we didn't get to finish our hike across the top of the mountain due to the big meeting at the Cline's. So we had a good walk up and down the back woods yards before heading in to catch the little league baseball game at 7:30. Seems one of the PA. teams has a girl pitching and she is getting lots of notoriety for a girl playing on an all boy sport. Well she and her team got clobbered by a very good team from Nevada. Well that was about it for the day as we spoke with both Bobby and Amy. School is being liked by 3 of the grand kiddos. We hear little Eliza as Amy holds her when we talk and she is becoming a jabber box but still hasn't any teeth coming through which keeps her waking up several times during the night. Tyler is getting ready to start his new job next week and they are looking for a house to settle into permanently, LATER
