My mom and I went to her friend's house, a guy who keeps a really nice little farm, even on our poor, sandy Grayling soil.
I got to pet his friendly chicken...
And we played with his nice little dog, Princess.
He cut us some collard greens...
Dug up red potatoes...
And gave us some corn. We had a great time!
Tonight my mom, our friend Cathy and I processed the collard greens. It took forever. We washed, sliced, blanched and packaged them into freezer bags.
Also today we visited my friends Patrick and Abbey's house to pick up some sourdough bread starter. Patrick made his own starter using the wild yeast found on blueberries. Right now we have some dough made and it's hanging out in the fridge until tomorrow morning, when we'll bake it.
I helped Cathy scrape paint off her garage today, as well. And we repaired the Boy Scout tent poles (replaced the worn-out elastic that holds the poles together).
So yeah, it was a great, busy day. I love long weekend days because that makes the weekend seem longer.
