Coffee is always the first order of business and with it, first thing this morning I saw Buddy (I think...). It was so early, he and I were still clearing the cobwebs from our head, although for him, it was more literal, teeheehee. It's so hard to tell these bears apart! In one of the pictures, though, I think I saw that distinctive little scar on the upper right side of his nose near his eye, and he sure behaved like Buddy when I walked outside with my camera. I had a busy day ahead so didn't dally with him as long as I wanted. Back inside to cut up a roasting chicken and put it in marinade, before heading off to the grocery store for sugar and more canning jars so I could continue with the jam making.
Before starting with the cooking though, I raked the last part of the garden and planted a dozen corn plants; moved rocks and planted 4 pumpkin, an eggplant and the last 3 celery roots, put together another planter and started to fill it with dirt, mulched the potatoes and changed out some water in the goldfish pond. THEN after a shower for myself and the garden (thank you Mother Nature), I sterilized jars and made 8 jars of strawberry rhubarb jam.
With the after-noon nearly gone it was time to BBQ the chicken and have a glass of wine ... and now I am pooped♥ Looks like the raccoon was tired too, or else she's taking lessons from the bears!!**********
I do not think the measure of a civilization
is how tall its buildings of concrete are,
But rather how well its people have learned to relate
to their environment and fellow man.
