Well, I spent a couple of hours weeding the carrots and cabbages in the garden yesterday morning. There is some kind of nocternal pest eating my kale and collards and cabbages. I tried diatomacious earth but that didn't work. I guess I will have to go with pyretherin. The good news is that the corn is peeping through and the soy is peeping through.
Then I spent several hours processing the frozen blueberries from last year into jelly, or so I thought. After 3 hours of work, I succeeded in making juice. It didn't jell. I added apples for the pectin but I guess not enough. So today I am off to vote in the primaries and get pectin. I still have half the berries to process so I will try to rework yesterday's batch. The good news is that I made blueberry butter from the leavings, and that DID work. It's the first time I tried this.
Then Jim helped me pump up the tire on the riding mower and it seemed to hold the air. I don't know why it went flat in the first place. So late afternoon I hopped on the mower and did the spots I missed last time. I was working the area around the pond and got the deck stuck on a hillock so had to back up. Well, I backed up a little then wanted to go forward, but nothing doing and the mower doesn't have any brakes so I ended up in the pond.

| Oh Maaaaaan!!!!! |
We pulled it out and it started right up. Wizard indeed. Jim swears that he saw frogs jumping out from the bottom when I started it up, but I don't know if I believe that. And his parting words on the incident were, "This one doesn't float".
