64 degrees and cloudy this morning when I left for the gym.

I’m home today doing various chores. I mentioned Sunday we picked all the apples we could reach. This morning I went to check on what was rotten or half eaten on the ground to gather up before James mows tomorrow. Most of the leaves have fallen off the tree early this year. I checked the tree and noticed a few still to be picked. I retrieved the picker and bucket from the garage and pulled off perhaps a dozen that were not eaten by worms or rotten. I will cook those up this afternoon to eat for dinner and freeze.

I pulled up the last two zucchini plants. All that is left in the garden is five hills of potatoes. I still have peas on the deck.

Cool and partly cloudy today with a good breeze at times with a slight chance of a thunder storm.

68 degrees and cloudy when I left for the gym this morning. After my work out I stopped by the bank and library then drove over to Galax, VA to Wal-Mart to pick up a few odds and ends.

James had just finished mowing mine and my neighbor’s yards when I got back home. He is playing catch up from all the afternoon storms we’ve had this week. I pulled all bean plants from the garden and the yellow squash plant from the deck pot. I pulled maybe a dozen or so beans yesterday but the plants are pretty much down for. I still have several hills of potatoes and two zucchini plants left along with the peas in the pots on the deck. I may get enough of the peas to cook for dinner tonight along with the beans.

More storms forecast for this afternoon.
