day (so far)
Sep. 28th, 2008 06:12 pmChurch was interesting. Today was our day for the children to sing the song I've been teaching. It went wonderfully, and the adults are all curious about the signs they learned.
Home for lunch, then the kidlet and I went out to climb "her" mountain-- Mt. Philo. It was brutally humid, and I charged up too fast and got totally out of breath. Once I caught my breath and moderated my pace it was only horrible. It always feels good to make it to the top, though!
This morning a couple of church members announced that their tiny backyard apple orchard has a bumper crop, far more than they can possibly use, and invited us all to come pick for free! They live near the base of the mountain, so we stopped and picked two bags of apples-- probably 20 pounds! The first three were peeled, cored, and turning into a German apple pancake within minutes when we got home. I'll keep 8 or 10 of the rest. Any badly damaged ones will go to the barn; the rest will go to various friends, courtesy of the church.
Tonight I'd like to bake more banana bread, and sort the apples; other than that it's time to relax.
