Boomer Time

Here comes FireWorks Week already. There seems to be plenty of loud, illegal, Boomers in the neighborhood. 

I'm depressed I can't go to the fireworks in my old village this year, n have to work. When it was really easy to walk there a few blocks away I didn't want to go after awhile without some one to go with. Now I have folks to go with, but there would be such bad traffic getting to work would be impossible. 

 I'm very jealous of all the folks who always get this holiday week off for vacation. I miss having time to getting away, relax, n go swimming. Time is my biggest complaint these days. Someday I hope to get holidays off again.

Until then I'm kinda stuck chasing dollars. I don't want time off now, due to the fact it's the busiest time of the year at work, n the best chance for more over-time pay this year.
 The money is always gone in a flash anyhow... So many bills.

But I have an abundance of free strawberries to sort n eat. Love strawberry shortcake for dinner. That is my fave part of living here, aside from the animals. This was last week's pickings. Still processing this weeks. Made preserves n froze some. Plenty more coming along too.

The squash seems to be growing better n have to pick a ton of radishes I need to figure out what to do with. At least the garden time hasn't all been wasted labor. The strawberries sorting is taking all my time lately, but at least I get to eat them.

That was the point after all, free food I like. Still waiting on Peas, beans, n tomatoes to produce.

These altered pics were produced without changing color or texture for today's post.

Enjoy those BBQ's n family time at the fireworks. Have a good, loud week-end!
