My 600th post & just when you think it can't get any worse.......

Can't believe I have done 600 posts. Goodness knows what I have managed to ramble on about for 600 times...LOL

So what has happened now you ask? Well would you believe I have been bitten on my ear lobe, probably by a mosquito. Gosh it hurts and it is so swollen. Oh and also its the same ear as my one with the ear infection, which to my mind isn't getting a lot better {{SIGH}} I swear if it isn't one thing its another.

Below is a photo of the new skylight in the attic. What a difference it has made. It's a 4' x 4' window. Its also helping to make the attic a little cooler, as we are now getting a cross breeze. So all we need now is to get the soffit ventilation sorted out, and then we can get on.

I picked up my "earning's" Friday night $58. I was only able to pick another 6 containers of raspberries, and "B" only sold one of my blackcurrant's. I brought the rest of the blackcurrant's home and need to figure out what I am going to do with them. Also none of the bouquet's of "wildflowers," sold.......never mind, it was worth a try!! I don't have to pick anymore raspberries until next Wednesday.

No rest for the wicked!!!!!

Despite me being sick, I never stopped on Thursday. I went to see "B" who is going to sell the raspberries for me. He gave me the containers and told me he would pay me $2 per container (1/2 pint). To cut a long story short I ended up picking 22 containers over the day. He wanted more as they were selling very well, but I put my foot down, as it was hot, I was tired; it kills my back picking them, plus I was getting to the end of the ones that were ripe.

These are some of the containers I picked.

I picked some blackcurrants after supper on Thursday night, I will be selling them at $2 a container as well. However I am not pushing them, as they are a royal pain to pick. So we'll see how these 6 containers sell and go from there.

Now I had another bright idea. Due to the fact that I haven't weeded anywhere, we have weeds/wildflowers growing all over the raspberry patch. So I decided to pick some and make a flower arrangement. What do you think? The pink flower in the middle is a thistle, its actually very pretty.

So I had this bright idea, why not make some bunches of these and get the guy to sell them as well?? I am thinking he could sell them for $5 a bunch? I would sell them to him for $3.50 a bunch. I thought I would try this out on Friday as that is when he is busiest, as that is when people travel up to their cottages. I thought I would take my arrangement down and show him.

So on Friday in between everything else, the country boys are coming to put in the skylight window in the attic. Problem though as its supposed to be stinking hot, so the attic will be just boiling hot. I told the woman who called to tell them to arrive early, but she said they wouldn't be coming until at least 9am.......they can't say I didn't warn them.

I am having problems also visiting other people's blogs again?
