“Green beans and bacon...what could possibly go wrong.”

My Aunt Alice, who used me as Free Labor on her farm each summer as I was growing up, taught me to make Green Beans & Bacon and I will forever be grateful. Alice will be 89 this year; still farming organically, still a pistol! She and her husband had the first ‘Organically Certified’ farm in Wisconsin...before it was cool! ;)

Between THAT recipe and my ‘Tater Tot Casserole’ I’ve had more marriage proposals than should be legal, LOL!

Seriously, Girls! (In general...) If (BIG ‘IF’) you WANT a Husband, learn to cook! :)

Just tried out the new EGO trimmer. It is very powerful, batteries charge in less than an hour, but it is HEAVY (huge battery). I knocked out the ditch, culverts & end of the banks near the driveway in just over an hour. Sun was out & so are those blasted gnats! My arms are shaking so they got a workout! Front of property looks great (my reward) & I think 90% of the vehicles that went by waved :-)

It has rained all week - got in 3 hours mowing yesterday & today, before afternoon storms, is my only other window - rain coming in tomorrow & a rainy weekend.

LB’s ‘slow back tire leak’ is getting faster. I think I am trailering it home unless I can find someone to help me tomorrow (guy who services mowers - if he can do tubes while I wait). The big problem is I need an impact wrench to get the tire off, otherwise I’d take it off & just have the tire/tube to take somewhere (farm bureau will put in tubes, I think).

Peonies are in full bloom here - most gorgeous peonies I’ve ever seen.
