Raspberries, blackberries, black currants, and peaches are starting to grow.

Kinda oops... I have been up and about since before 06:00.
Have chatted with Arianna who had to leave for a medical appointment, with Dragon-in-Law Eva who is buzzing around in the kitchen, and spent a good amount of time online, but almost forgot to do my morning Toot / Post.

I ate a healthy breakfast today with my #Coffee.
Natural #Yogurt with #Raspberries, #Pineapple, and #Grapes.

Looking forward to a good busy day at the #FoodBank assisting my food insecure #Kentucky neighbours in need.

This evening Arianna & I shall be attending a Growth Group of our local church: https://mycpointe.com/growthgroups/
I have food to take, and we shall enjoy the fellowship.

Be well all y'all.

Remembering Eric Carmen from the Raspberries

(August 11, 1989-March 11, 2024)

#Music, #EricCarmen, #Raspberries

Tuesday 05:24
Life is good my friends.
Yesterday I arrived home from work to 2 delivered packages that Arianna had taken into the house for me.
a) A boxed #PineTime #SmartWatch. It is currently still boxed, as I have not yet gotten around to opening it. Last evening I basically napped, had my supper, worked on an allocated #MissionAssist #Bible chapter, then bed.
b) A book: The 40 Day Discipleship Journey. This is the course that my CenterPointe Christian Church leadership are taking, and it was introduced to the Men's Group on Sunday afternoon. I ordered immediately, as Pastor Ethan is witness to! I hope to start this course soon.

Today at the #FoodBank, my main responsibility is to order dry packed Fruit & Vegetables for seniors, as part of the #USDA #CSFP program. I shall be ordering a year's worth, taking our future orders from 2026 to 2027.
Talking of future planning, it is now #Turkey season, with the vendors starting to submit their delivered pricing for #Thanksgiving 2025. By the end of this week, I should be informed by our own TX planning committee how many birds to order this year.
Also this week, I shall be ordering our mixed truckloads of Fresh Produce to be delivered to our 4 KY locations in April 2025. #FreshProduce
Told you that life is good, and I absolutely love my job. (Always wishing though that there was no need for my job.)

Other plans for today:
1) At 15:00 I hope to join MissionAssist on #Zoom for their monthly #prayer time. They are British based, so 19:00 for them, but since Sunday's Spring Forward I am now an hour closer. I should be joining them from my work office with closed door. https://missionassist.org.uk/
2) After work I look forward to being at #Villainous Gaming Pub for about 17:00. This is your weekly local reminder to come on out and join me. If you make it out, great, but I know I shall have a great time hanging out anyway. https://villainous.club/

The Kettle was on for my first #Coffee of the day.
I probably now need to re-boil the water!
Thinking I shall have Fresh #Raspberries with #Yogurt for breakfast.

Life is busy, and full of adventure.
How is your day? - I'm really asking!

New on my bike/transportation blog inspired by my gardening and my work: Thoughts on Community Engagement Thanks to Picking Berries https://bikestylelife.com/2025/03/09/thoughts-on-community-engagement-thanks-to-picking-berries/

I share other people's poetry quite often. Here's one I wrote myself. https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2025/02/sweet-harvest.html

Next up in today's winter canning to make the kitchen smell like summer on a snowy winter day, raspberry jam from berries I grew https://creativecanning.com/raspberry-jam/. 4-1/2 lbs. raspberries became 7 1/4-pints, 7 1/2-pints.

I think it is the time of the year for a little color and the sweet and sour taste of the big raspberries to come... but then again, just bite into them and eat them with relish.
