Would you believe that I am
still picking a few sugar peas in
August? As I did not pull them
off of the fence, they bloomed
and gave a second crop. And, the
other week I was surprised to be
given some plums to can. Our
son has planted some fruit trees
and the plum tree had a big crop
this year. Some were used for
plum jam too.
Our two rows of new strawber
ry plants has given me lots of
work as I try to keep it clear of
weeds. The last time that I hoed
it there were deer tracks all
through the patch. It is just a
stone’s throw from our house.

Recently, I read my mother’s
diary of 65 years ago. At that
time she had seven girls at home
to help her with household
chores. She had her girls pick
beans by the basket. But, instead
of freezing them, as I do, she
dried the green string beans. This
definitely gave them a different
flavor. She planted a lot of celery
in the tobacco beds. That is some
thing that I no longer grow as it
is a lot of work to have bleached
celery for Thanksgiving dinner.
As one gets older it is a tempta
tion to buy some vegetables from
the grocery store.
Every other year our immedi
ate family of 29 members tries to
get together for a week’s vaca
tion. The emphasis is on “tries”
as some members can only be
with us a few days. This year
they plan to gather in Tioga
County to build a large cottage
with three bedrooms. Some of
our sons have almost grown sons
who can help to finish the build
ing. It will be a working vacation
but that is the only way that it
will be completed.
