Round and round until it is all mowed, While the slow cooker makes an awesome meal.

Where are we today ?

      Wow it is really cooling down  56F at 6 am. Chilly but also refreshing. Got some  computing  and coffees consumed then into New Hamburg for a few food items and the license sticker for Suzie's car. The sticker was a quick in and out no lineup,3 minutes later all done and $120. 00 paid to the government.
      Back home I cut up our large 5 lb pork loin roast I picked up the other day for $6.47. Froze a roast for us and 2 pork chops. And a 3 lb roast in the slow cooker with potatoes, onions and carrots for tonight's supper. for the 3 of us.
     My slow cooker was not big enough so I  used a larger one of Sandy's and set it on low for 8 hours.
Sandy's large slow cooker did the trick for a larger meal
    Then we had a light lunch and I went back to Camp Awesome in Plattsville to finish mowing the rear couple of acres. That done in a hour and back home. It was a wonderful quite warm sunny day just going round and round the yard until I took the last strip. Nothing to do while mowing the lawn other day dreaming, something that I am good at. As a matter of fact my CB handle back in the 80's was "Daydreamer" when I belonged to a CB club having a lot of fun with family and kids.
I took some gas for the mower and go to work.
well not really work, playing on the mower
just mowed form here to the tree line
going round and round until it was all done
loving the sunny skies and corn fields next door
          A bit later back home puttered around with a few things got some more reading done outside in the shade enjoying the sunny afternoon weather.
       And while out here watched this tractor going back and forth most of the day,  large tanks of liquid manure he must be spreading somewhere, we don't smell it though.
sounds like train going down the road
       Suzie has been helping her Dad glue a couple of puzzles together  and plus to a backing so he can mount them into some frames he is building . Now what kind of puzzles would a retired farmer like to do? You guessed it here is a couple recently finished below.
Suzie cleaning up the mounted puzzle before the glue dries.
another nice puzzle 
       The slow cooker did it's magic today a one pot meal. Roast pork, potatoes, carrots, onions and celery. I thickened the tasty gravy and we had a feast. Of course I made a salad to go with it.
this pork is so tasty and tender
some apple sauce and we were well fed. lotsa leftovers too
      Now back under our awning enjoying a nice cool evening. Not too cold yet, wrap up this posting and dive right back into my Kobo for a while.
    Thsnksfor taking a peak again and hope y'all had a great day and enjoy a nice safe Labor day weekend, wherever you are.

  1. It takes us YEARS! to do a jigsaw puzzle. Guess we just lack the attention span required. Glad to see the completed works are being preserved for bragging rights.
    BTW the lawn look great!

      I have nut done a puzzle for a very long time. don't have a place to lay one out anymore in the rv.
      He does enjoy doing them though, then built the frames and mount them is part of the fun too.

  4. I tried a puzzle once in the RV. It made a pretty big mess when I had to move on down the road. Never thought of gluing and framing them. Those look very nice!!

  5. That is a fine looking meal. I think I might need an 8' mower for that grass. Wow on your tag renewal- ours is $25 and I think it's the same for the MH.

    1. Thanks Larry it was very tasty.
      An 8' mower would be nice but not so much for some of the tight areas.
      The renewals keep going up here in expensive Canada, but we do have "FREE" health care.

  7. The puzzles look like they would be great to do. They'll look great in frames.
    Looks like a good day again and a nice meal.

    1. Puzzles can be a lot of fun as you well know. And framing them is another part of the projects that keep him busy. Along with enjoy his Kobo we got him for Christmas.

  8. A fun hobby for Suzie's Dad. Never thought of framing them.

    1. He does enjoy doing the tractor puzzles and would like to keep them. So making the frames and mounting them does it.
