Tracking said that my book order was delivered, yesterday. Nothing! Cary called this morning, and they are sending replacements with no charge. Date of arrival, Saturday. I like the convenience of ordering things online, but this is beginning to get worrisome. We never did get the rest of our shipment of brown bread. Cary talked to them about that, too. It was a total mess, so he just told them to forget it. We won't be ordering anymore.
I gathered a bucket full of figs this morning, and more tomatoes. My muscadine trellis is weighted down with muscadines. More jelly in the near future! Cary isn't crazy about it, but I love muscadine jelly. He would rather have grape, instead, but all of our grapevines died. My pantry will be stocked with apple, peach, grape, and muscadine jelly. The apple and grape I had to buy. Our apple tree didn't produce this year. Late frost got all the apples.
I've also starting making Cary's green tea myself, instead of buying the bottled cases. It's lots cheaper. I can store green tea bags with less room than I can cases, too. I need to start vaccum sealing them in jars now that I have a few boxes. We don't drink regular iced tea, but I'm stocking up on cans of Lipton instant tea just to have on hand.
Today is the last day we're going to be experiencing cooler temps. The next 7 days has our heat index climbing back to the 100 to 115 degree point!
Yesterday, Cary finally finished off the load of firewood he's been working on. Got it all split and stacked. He has, at least, 2 more trailer loads to haul to our house from DS's house. Today, he's washing our vehicles and mowing. I've got floors to mop while he and Frisco are outside doing their thing.
