A Costco Run And A Big Harvest

Yup we took our first Costco run since being back from our trip.  When we left Parrottsville in April we pretty much got rid of all our perishable food so we would not have some kind of lab experiment growing in our refrigerator.  We emptied out our chest freezer in the shed and turned it off.  We turned it back on Wednesday night so it would be ready for our purchases yesterday.  So with our lists made we headed to Knoxville but stopped at Cracker Barrel first for breakfast.  It was a rainy day so it was a good day to shop.  We were surprised how empty Costco seemed to us especially after being in the one in Honolulu where you could not walk down any of the aisles without bumping into people.  We walked all through Costco to shop and look at items and then bought our items and headed for home.  Now we are in pretty good shape for food except our meats which I will share more about that tomorrow. 
After dinner last night we went down to the Orchard to check on the crops and we had another bumper day harvesting zucchini, summer squash and tomatoes.  We also got a few more cucumbers and more blueberries.  We did harvest some items for the first time.  Some green beans were ready to be picked along with a few peas.  Broccoli was ready for the first time and wild blackberries.  So it was another great day for the farm.  I also want to thank Lisa for the batch of fresh blueberry muffins she made and shared with me.  They were delicious!
