Just another manic Monday...this morning Devin removed the dash of a F150 truck...

All that work for a leak in the a/c evaporator core...

I've never had a red Starkrimson pear...

the bagger at Publix placed a bag of potatoes and a bag of onions on these red pears
bruised their tender skins
i wasn't paying attention 
😱

Dose any thing smell better than Cardamom? 

Currently reading this non-fiction book...

Dinner...

salad

pork tenderloin
rare just the way G. likes it

delicata squash

SATURDAY

 

from a few days ago

The lot next door to us has been vacant for as long as we have lived here (43 years).

It was sold and new owners have installed an aluminum dock.  All the other docks on the lake were constructed with wood.

Definitelys going to ruin my photos.

But if I line up the flag with the Cypress tree it helps a little bit.

change is good...right?

Seems like lots of people are camping this weekend...grandchildren included...

They let their parents tag along...

Dinner...

I love Jacques Pepin...so trying his recipe from People magazine.

G. usually cooks most meats on the grill but these days I've been using the oven...

This pan is huge. Dede bought it for me for one of my birthdays many many years ago.

It's the most expensive cooking tool I own.

So even though it's huge I want to start using it more instead of just Thanksgiving Dinner.

i hear the powers that be want to cancel thanksgiving

electric knife quit working
amazon to the rescue
for next time

still eating my daily
salad

Elvin was in the house! Says he misses us.

Devin's wife was in a small accident...her BMW was totaled...the other vehicle, an SUV hardly had a scratch.

This is what a blower motor looks like when a rodent has moved in.

Looks like G's new engine and transmission is ready to go in...hope Devin is ready.

Mom's dinner prep...

pork roast with peppers and onions for flavor

Dinner

salad

pork chop, mash potatoes, asparagus, mushroom and zucchini

 

 

I can't decide which photo I like better.

Last week our resident hawk flew into the shop and injured his wing. Boyd called the Florida Wildlife people and was instructed on how to capture it and keep it safe until they arrived to pick it up.

It turns out the person who arrived to pick up the hawk is a regular shop customer!

 

Meanwhile turtles are roaming our lime-rock road...

Devin shared his weekend DIY project photos with me.  Before....

these bar stools are for sale if anyone is interested
they ordered newer much cooler looking ones
😁

After... he and his wife epoxied license plates to the top of the bar...He said it was an easy and quick job😉

Nice job Devin and wife.

Store bought tomatoes are pretty but not as tasty as my homegrown ones.

But it looks like I've got some self seeding plants...

I think they are the tiny tomatoes...not the real big ones.

Currently reading...

bars are open
library is still closed

 

WEDNESDAY

 The sky colors change daily...

We help out a local body shop when they have a mechanical repair they can't handle...

Chris showing me how a shattered window holds together...

Chris pointed out because vehicles can be low to the ground and curb parking...our customers tend to rip their plastic underliners to pieces...this car managed to keep theirs intact...just ruin everything else 😧

Looks like G's new engine arrived...just now waiting for the new transmission...

...meanwhile he is enjoying driving my mother's car😁

Dinner...

salad

grilled pork chop, bake potato, white acre peas and stewed tomatoes.
