It is a beautiful sunny here, with just a touch of wind. There was quite the lightening show last night and some heavy rain. We've had a lot of rain this summer that's for sure.
The yellow beans are almost finished, but I picked enough for a good feed with supper. Hubby has professed to NOT liking yellow beans, but he ate more than half the other night! I was shocked so tonight I'll double the amount to cook. I sprinkled some of the fennel's fine leaves over my beans and it was delicious.
As we were already in town on Sunday we stopped in at President's Wholesale, picking up a full boneless pork tenderloin and a 24 pound piece of beef. I cut the tenderloin into several small roasts; just enough for the two of us, and the rest into chops. After I had cut 4 roasts from the beef, hubby cut the rest into steaks with the bits frozen for beef stew. We had one roast on Sunday with a fennel, apple and celery salad. Both were delicious, but the best part was the corn we picked up. Scrumptious ! Tonight we're having a couple of those steaks, yellow beans, salad and we'll split the last corn. If I get my butt in gear, I may make an apple pie to use up the last of the wrinkled apples. Hopefully the pastry will roll better than it did when I made the Saskatoon pies.
I have two more yoyos to sew and then the centre blocks for my quilt are done and can be stored away till I have finished the other 5 quilts. We'll be making a trip into town to pick up enough thread for me to do the job.
ED bought blinds last week and hubby has been installing them. One blind was missed being cut, so after work he'll get it installed and the job will be complete. From the pictures, they look very smart. I may go over and have a look tonight.
DIL brought the Stephen King novel " Under the Dome " . I have enjoyed the series, although I am not usually a King fan, only enjoying his book " The Stand" It is such a big book I'll have to prop it on a table to read it.
All right, better get to my sewing, just two more..............
