This weekend I have had Labor Day by laboring. Each day I put up a batch of corn. The third batch is processing now. Jim grew "Peaches and Cream" and I didn't want to lose a bit of it. We now have 38 pints for the winter, and have been eating it off the cob for several weeks. The parakeets even like it!

I went over my grocery budget two months in a row. We have a house guest and an orphan kitten. But I will rein myself in. Spending gets to be habit forming. There is a $25.00 rebate I want to do next week, but I think it will fit right in with our meal plans.

Steve and Annette came over today and got some more corn and some cucumbers and stuff. The weather is turning cooler and it's time to wind it up. Annette said she'll let me know when their neighbor opens up h is 5-acre potato field for gleaning. He grows test potatoes. Last year they had a funny shape, but the flavor was just fine. And if you mash them, who knows?

Tomorrow I have to do an article for the Times-News, and Wednesday I'll gather up the building permits and probates for them.
