Busy, busy morning. Errands to run, beans to can...
My son was at a job today and got himself stung when he grabbed a hornets nest that was behind a fascia board on the house. He said he thought he was going to pass out. The lady he was working for gave him a benadryl and he lay on the cold basement floor for a little while. He said he isn't usually allergic, but maybe he got stung more than once. He's not sure. He seems to be fine now, except for his cartoon sized hand. When he was finished working for the day, he picked around 30 gallons of peaches for me from this same woman's trees. They're small, but look fairly good. Sigh...guess we know what I'll be doing tomorrow... I'm grateful--don't get me wrong. I'm just tired. The hardest part is finding a way to sit so that I don't have to stand the whole time I'm peeling and slicing and dicing. I have a tall stool that goes to my island and I use that, but it still isn't quite comfortable.
Guess I owe that boy of mine a peach pie....
Wanted to stop in tonight, because I will going full tilt tomorrow and probably not have any time to get on here until after I get back from MissB's house at 9PM. On Thursday I am going to a friends house to do corn for the freezer. I am off that day (hallelujah!) On Friday morning, I am going to visit another friends new house for the first time. So,. I need to find the perfect housewarming gift to take with me. It might be a gift basket, filled with homemade goodies and Useful Stuff. hmmmm.....
Sweet dreams all. I'll be back tomorrow.

Oh My!! I'm glad he was okay! I hope his hand has shrunk back down to normal non-cartoon size.
I'm tired just reading this. You'll be the one reaping the rewards for months to come, tho. ;)
Have fun on your visits! :)
What a hardworking and thoughtful boy! :)
You are ALWAYS going like a house afire, Annie. You make me tired, too, although it's the first thing in the morning for me, refreshed after a good night's sleep, which is what I hope you got, too.
Rita, it's true--there is nothing like canned/frozen peaches off our trees in the dead of winter....yummm
Jess~~He really is, and I am blessed to have such a son.
DJan~~welll...lol. I did sleep pretty well for the most part last night, just not long enough. And it's really just always a crunch this time of year. I'm one of those people who are ALWAYS looking for an easier, softer way....lol
Hope you son is much better. Ouch!
He is something to pick peaches after such as that.
You are busy, a great Mom, and neighbor.
Happy day. Hope you sleep sound and well at night.
Thank you for sharing.
Poor guy! Ouch!
I've had a long day, too. I think we should call it an early night.
