I had the basic chores around the house, preserved,dried,froze,vaccum sealed garden bounty, tried to prepare for a vacation and tried to apply for a job.
By trying to apply here's what I mean: One of my dear,dear friends, whom I've had the great honor to work with sent me an email for a job posting at the new company she works for. Being 2010 everything is ONLINE...!"/$%?&*( !!!
So I'm filling out all the fields and I press save and I get an error message that I didn't filed the Sources field....funny I'm sure I did! So I fill it again and save and same message! So on the first day I must've filled that online application 10 times (no exageration). Nest day same thing, I contact the online support...something about my cookies, I fix it, same story....I re-contact them, they say they've fixed it, same story....Ok you get the gist!
So tomorrow I have to find an internet café and try to fill it from another computer.
And admist of all that chaos...the doorbell rings and I see the friendly postman's face and he gives me a box. I wasn't expecting anyhthing.
I open the box and I find these goodies sent by Linda from A La Carte . All for my B-Day! Two darling au gratin dishes from FireKing, a Betty Crocker cookbook, a sweet card and ...and....and....a Pyrex Autumn Harvest gravy boat! You can't go wrong with Pyrex!
I'm very touched by her gesture and couldn't have arrived at a better time!
Thank you Linda you're a sweetheart!
Now this is what I've been working on in the veggie garden...
I kidd you not this collard is about 5 feet across! I actually sowed it last summer and it didn't amount to much. This spring much to my surprise it showed up again! So I'm not a southern girl and I know nothing about collard greens, ok except the bacon/pork thing and cook it a really long time. So I'm blanching some so I can freeze it and enjoy it this winter. I don't have time to process it all so I hope the plants are sturdy enough to last until I come back.
I was lucky enough to spot this Blue Heron on wednesday while running errands. I'm always in awe whenever I spot them. It's like I see a great treasure, a miracle, which it is by the way.
It's friday night, time for Supernatural (season premiere) and then Triple D (Diner's,Drive-ins and Dives).
Have a great night! :)

Let me try again! I am sorry you had such a crazy week, but I am so happy you enjoyed your gifts!! I was hoping you didn't have that piece of Pyrex! Enjoy and happy weekend.
They're really pretty birds and they move cool. We saw them on the river while camping.
I totally agree, it is a big deal when you see rare birds! I put up a hummingbird feeder this summer and every time a hummingbird came and we were outside, I would shush everybody so as not to scare it! My family thinks I'm nuts.
