The week has gone quickly ! On Sunday we picked abaout 5+ pounds of cherries. I washed and froze 44 cups, not pitted though. YS made his own batch of cherry liqueur and I made two using up leftover wine and liquor, even some champagne ! We'll see how it turns out. I also made a sour cherry sauce to go over ice cream and I can attest to the fact that it is delicious !
On Monday, as it is a civic holiday here, we went over to ED's and had a BBQ. It was very nice, especially eating all our vegetables from the garden.
I'm on the second sleeve so hopefully by this time nxt week I'll have the sweater finished. A lot of knitting was done as I watched Suits on Netflix. As I usually watch British and Australian TV I was pleasantly surprised at how good the show iss, or maybe I'm really desperate !
Today we started relaying the bricks under the leanto and by the side of the house. They were all taken up last year before the house was 'trenched' I can only do a bit at a time as my back literally grinds after a while. So I come in and knit a bit and then out I go. Did some weeding, pulled out some day lilies, found a couple of deep purple irises which I'll transplant into the front and picked some peas. The grass transplants seem to be doing well which is quite amazing. The front yard actually looks pretty good considering what it looked like, all torn up, last September.
We are supposed to be having nice weather this weekend so we'll see if we can get those day lilies out and maybe some tree trimming.
