All by myself....

You don't realize how many things you haven't done because your spouse was in charge of that activity. Brandon was always the grill master. It helps that I wasn't home most of the summer , so I wasn't responsible for much of the cooking.  I was very proud of myself this evening as I finished canning Blueberry Jam and peach jam and had the kitchen clean ready to make dinner.  I started the Smoky Joe Weber grill without using the chimney and added enough charcoal to cook the T-bone to perfection! I have to admit I ate the whole thing............with canning all day I didn't eat much. I won't need a red meat hit for at least a week now.
Zorra was very funny today and has been doing lot's of singing. She really wants to go out and hang out with the chickens and she get's mad when I don't need to stay out by the pen when my chores are done.  Sometimes I have to get behind her to move her along as she doesn't want to leave those chicky girls. But once we are inside she becomes a large tan blob on the floor and of course.....sings.....
