We had Worship Service this afternoon at one of the nursing homes in town. It was a nice time. Our little church always enjoys visiting there, singing old hymns, praying, and opening the Word of God. It was a 'sweet' time. The Bible compares the Word of God to being priceless and sweet:
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Psalm 19:10
Speaking of honeycomb, one of our milk customers dropped by to pick up his milk and had a sweet treat for us. He had just returned from Mittie, Louisiana, where he got some honeycomb just dripping with honey. We are eating this by the spoonful, and it's not gonna last too long.
The second thing I saw today is that the two rows of cowpeas I planted are popping up nicely. I have one row of purple hull peas and one row of black-eyed peas that we planted in the garden in the side yard where we had just harvested Irish Potatoes. They seem to thrive in the heat and humidity. The only thing that affects them are aphids, but I've got some neem oil ready to go when I see them on the plants. I've bordered the pea patch with sunflowers.
Just to the north of the peas, I planted Cinderella pumpkins, Peanut Pumpkins and New England Sugar Pie Pumpkins along with some assorted gourds. They aren't up yet. This planting is an experiment because the seeds are old (2017) and were saved from some pumpkins my parents brought back from a trip to South Dakota. I planted a lot of seeds on each hill, assuming that since they're old, the germination might not be too good. We'll watch and see what happens.
Finally, I wanted to show you a basket of peppers we picked. It is my new favorite variety. They're called Shishito Peppers. I'll show you next week a delicious recipe that we found for them.
We'll talk again tomorrow night.
