Peggy,
We've always wanted to get back to TN. :-) Miss it dearly. The kids and I went back at the end of April. Yes, the day our flights were scheduled to come back to WA we were caught in the flooding. Took 2 days to get back.
So, you've caught my interest with Deer Island. Can you direct me somewhere to read about it?

| Hi everyone. Please pray for my DD she is having her 4th C-Section @ 730 tomorrow morning and she is really fearful this time. 3rd son, Tristen. Her poor legs and feet are so swollen but her blood pressure is fine. I,m an old Operating Room nurse and of course I know more than I want to think about @ this time. I have my 18 month old GD so pray my old back holds up! LOL! Thanks in advance for all your prayers. I,m sneaking away to the porch for awhile to chill out and feel your love. Darlene |

Well. I finally found my way back. I went out on tuesday to pick peas and a storm rolled in. My DH and I picked in the rain. Then pulled beets. Then radishes. Then lettuce. And when we got back to the house there was no power. We cleaned all the veges in the rain, bagged them for the farmers market in the dark, and talked till 2 am waiting for the power to come back on. Then we put the granola in the oven on it's lowest setting and took a 3 hour nap. Then it was back up to clean the coolers and pack everything to take to the market. We had a pretty good day there and then ate a cheaters dinner (marie calanders) while watching tv and totaling vegeing out. Now my DH is out for a ride on his motorcycle and I'm waiting for my baby to fall asleep deep enough I can go in and get the bed ready for sleeping in. With the power out three times in the last week, the house is a disaster, so I guess it's cleaning and berry pickin tomorrow. Maybe a little weeding if there's time for it. Oh yeah, the storm had us hidin under the trees by the garden for the fifteen minutes it was really bad, and we realized that we were hiding under plum trees! I didn't know it, but we have 4 plum trees! Yea!

So happy you're joining us, Deborah!! I made extra fruit pizzas so dig in! Darlene, sending many prayers for your daughter! It's always scary, but know she'll be just fine! And a new baby to hug and snuggle and love!! How fun! Glad you're joining us too....sounds like you can use a break!! Angela, you've been so busy! Maybe you'll be done with the storms with awhile. Happy Farmers Market was good and how funny about the discovery of plum trees!!! Wow....love plums! We're expecting more storms tonight and tomorrow. We need sunshine, not rain!! It's so wet here, things aren't growing. Well, a nice sit on the porch and seeing all you will help!! Hugs, Lin

Hi farmgirl friends! I was babysitting all day today, and didn't get a chance to post. Lin, I would love some of your fruit pizza! Sounds so yummy! It finally stopped raining today, but it was nice and hot. Lin, I hope some our Wisconsin sunshine comes down to you in Iowa!

Yumm... fruit pizza! Even as a leftover for breakfast it is tasty!
Darlene- prayers for your daughter and newest grandson! Details on him yet?
Channah- how was the fishing trip? My DS loves to fish. He is joining the navy and I tease him that he is only joining so he can fish off of the deck of a destroyer.
I made it to Toronto to the airport with no problems Tuesday evening. We left the airport at 11:30 p.m. and headed back to the states. However, I missed a turn and we went an hour in the wrong direction before I realized it. We were a lot closer to Detroit than to Rocheter by the time I turned around. We finally got home at 5:30 Wednesday morning. I slept for 2 hours and then went to an all day ministry conference. When I got home last night I skipped the porch entriely and went righ to bed. I was asleep before 6 p.m.
Off to work for the day, then hope to go to a pick-your-own-strawberry-farm to get more berries to make more jam.
Carpe diem!

Well yall, we have had so much rain and now we are experiencing flooding from all the local rivers. The highest they have been for several years. All the roads are pretty much closed so I guess my errands will have to wait. So I am joing yall here. Hope you are all having a great day.
hugs
Tammy

Hoping the rains stop soon, Tammy! We in Iowa are terribly wet too with more on the way for the next 5 days! Sounds like we're going to have to swim to the porch!!!! I'll bring warm apple muffins and some Berry juices!
Oh Lida, that trip home sounded awful....so glad that's behind you and you're getting rested!! Jam sounds delicious!!! Hugs and Smiles, Lin

Hi Darlene --how's your daughter doing? Praying all went well.
Happy belated b-day, Pam!
How was your fishing trip, Han? :-)
We've got sunshine today. Going to go check on the tomato plants that I finally put in the ground, but we had a cold snap & rain, so I don't know how they're looking. Got some housework & sewing to do today. Then I need to figure out some dessert to make for my SIL when she comes over tonight. We just had rhubarb pie, so need to figure something out. Passing some glasses of lemonade w/mint your way :-)

Hi Porchies...
Tami...try doing Google Search on various Deer Island Info. If you don't find much...
I would be happy to run copies of my info and send it to your home address. For me it
all started with a Fiction Book and it had just enough true stuff in it to be scary and
peek my curiosity. And my husband was doing the Lyme Disease research at the same time
and we began crossing paths in our research where Deer Island was concerned. Kind of creepy
what our Government doesn't want us to know.
Lida...what a miserables trip girl! And then to have to go to an all day conference...well,
you just snuggle up on the porch swing and I will get you a pillow and a quilt and you just
take it easy girl. You deserve it.
Lin...hold those apple muffins up high so they don't get wet! I've seen pictures on the news
about all the horrible flooding in your part of the Country. Praying for you all!
Darlene...I am also praying for your daughter...but oh, a new grand-baby to smell and snuggle with
sounds like heaven. I want my oldest son & his wife to make me another one of those little darlens.
Channah...are you back from your fishing trip yet????
Ok, girls I am bringing hot and iced Strawberry Mango Tea to the porch this morning.
Blessings,
~peggy

For sure Peggy, I was thinking a glass container with a lid to transport the muffins! Water-logged muffins really wouldn't be very good!! Strawberry Mango tea sounds soooo refreshing!! Thanks for prayers!! It's definitely creepy about the Deer Island/Lyme Disease stuff. I don't get it.........but that's silly to say, because there's a whole lot of things the gov't doesn't want us to know!!! Such craziness!! Looking forward to some time on the porch with all of you!! Hugs and Smiles, Lin

Lida, that sounds terrible! My Mom did that once, too. We were driving to Detroit, and all the construction in Chicago got us very confused. Well, she ended up turning onto the wrong part of the highway, and after driving for about an hour, we realized that we were not on our way to Detroit! We were in Beecher, Illinois, where accents are thick and people are few! Lin, the sunshine is shining high, and I hope it comes your way soon!
God's Blessings,
