Good Morning, All! Hope everyone is doing well today...
We are under a flash flood watch - having some torrential rain at the moment, which means I won't be going out to pick tomatoes and peppers before mid afternoon, looking at the forecast. I did get another batch of elderberries in the steam juicer before the rains hit, at least!
Spent part of the morning so far sorting school supplies for the kids I buy for, doing laundry, dishes, and general house work. I'm keeping to quiet chores as Hubby is catching an after work nap. Once the batch of elderberries are done, I'm going to pick some grapes to run through the juicer - the vines are growing on cattle panel fencing that is attached to our west porch posts, so the grapes are harvestable from under the porch roof; won't have to wait for the rain to stop.
I need to clean out the fridge, then cut up the watermelons and canteloupe I bought yesterday, along with some more peaches. Supper is going to be a pork roast I put in the crock pot this morning; I tossed in some small fresh potatoes with it so will make some gravy and open a jar of home canned carrots and glaze them to go with it. After supper, I'll mix up a small batch of bbq sauce and shred enough of the roast and top it with the sauce for my work lunches on Monday and Tuesday - sides will probably just be french bread, fruit and cottage cheese.
A few weeks ago, I gave Hubby some cash and asked him to upgrade our emergency lighting with a focus on good flashlights - he brought in a couple from the truck this morning that seem pretty nice; I'll have to wait until dark to see how far out the light goes.
Co-worker Buddy is coming out late this morning - weather permitting - to bring my Sunday papers; I'll send two tubs of school supplies back to town with him to drop off with another co-worker. Then later this afternoon/early evening I will run older grandson's school supplies over to daughter's house and drop them off - it's so hard to believe that school starts on Tuesday!
I'm still feeling mentally worn out, so I'm likely to just rest, read, and reflect during the mid-afternoon hours - the weather seems conducive for those activities today
Take care, all; have a blessed Sunday!

I also picked up two nice nightgowns at Penney's for 66% off - I would have been happy to pay the $15 as a regular price but don't see what made these gowns worth $45 to begin with; which I guess might be why they were clearanced. I might stop by and pick up a couple more on my way home from work tonight so that I can turn my current ones into cleaning rags (won't take much, they are 3/4 of the way there already lol!) - I received 10% off coupons by completing surveys for each of the receipts, so they will be over 3/4 off the usual price.
