We had our first batch of sweetcorn for supper. We cooking it in the microwave with plastic wrap sealing it . It was very good. I can't eat much of it with the diabetic diet but I do have an ability to shoot some more insulin if I shoot up too high. The corn was very good. There are so many farmers who grow it in our area and I bought mine at the store rather than at one of the parking lot corners.
My wife got a family piece given to her yesterday. It is made by a company that I have never heard of before now. Crooksville China is on the bottom and it was a company in Ohio. I looked up the company and this would have had a lid on it. It would be used to hold hot soup before serving. The gold band is all still intack with it having a little leaf pattern on the handles.
The morning glories responded to me giving it more water. There were a lot of blooms on the vines this morning.
I had a couple of monarchs out today while I finished mowing the yard. The hummingbirds do love the zinnias too. I could see them zooming in and out to the flower garden to go where ever they have to be. I asssume that some of them must be feeding baby hummers.
I had to buy some more dirt for my second flower bed. I ended up buying five bags of dirt of this and also bought a potting soil bag for me to use with houseplants. The lugging and tugging took place at the store to load the bags and then I use the wheel barrow to get them down the back hill, two sacks at a time. I was too tired to start planting my iris that are awaiting to be put back into the ground. It will be nice to have a good bed to grow them in where they don't get to wet nor grass to invade them. I have more iris that I do plan on digging to put in here as things progress. I have lost a few of my treadured one that I moved down here so I will try to save all that I can that I still have.
