Ken, welcome to thread. I grew up in New Hope and before moving to NC lived in Holland right outside of Newtown. Several of my oldest friends
went to Council Rock. Ted and I miss Goodnoes Ice cream!

I would send you some Goodnoes but it might melt. Newtown (The village at Newtown) shopping center keeps expanding and a lot more apartments and townhouses. I am up neat Jericho mtn and the kid is going to Council Rock (when it reopens again).

cool, growing up our farm on Aquetong Road looked south at Bowman's Hill Tower.
That area has gotten so congested, when I was a kid it was all farms. Not any more...
I'm a lifelong member of Wrightstown Friends and will likely wind up back at Friends Village in Newtown when I fall apart.
My brother Peter is a CPA in New Hope.

Goodnoes just isn't the same since they moved and downsized to just ice cream; though my wife and I used to go into the new shop pretty often.
I actually knew Skip Goodnoe a little; my friends knew him well.

oh my what a long day. On my feet the whole day, first with driveway work and then with powerwashers who returned to do the farm equipment.
Their powerwasher has a heater in it and it sure worked better on the ag grease. Tomorrow I have a lot of greasing to do. At least today I used high pressure air to blow out the sitting water. Massey sure looked nice when they were done.

Oh, and planted flowers for several hours. 81 in sun and clouds with a nice breeze.
Getting really hot this weekend, big heatwave working North.

Not very good visibility in that tractor, Drew.

yes, but it has wipers...

My BIL lives in Lower Makefield, a sister in Southampton. We used to live just outside Newtown, then moved up to Perkasie before we moved out here....
Small world!

Small world. We go to Perkasie quite often. Wifey and I went to DVC in Doylestown. We go back several times a year. Beautiful place.

Remember the Buttonwood Inn in Lahaska? Or the Swan Inn over the bridge in Lambertville? Good times for a much younger man then...

Good evening. Wife did good today. Her first burn pile. I did a lot of walking.
Looks like I can be relegated to just lawn work and let her do the pastures. And yeah...she found the horn on her own.
Lol.

All this talk about Goodnoes.... now I have to have ice cream tonight. A local grocery started selling Turkey Hill ice cream.... that is about as close as I will get...:licking:

Was she needing to use the horn to get you out of the way? ...:shocked:

The wifey graduated from Council Rock. Then went to Temple U. Another thing I miss is Philly soft pretzels. Last time I went to Philly, I flew home with a carry-on bag with 3 dozen! I have mastered making cheesesteaks at home though... sometimes hard to find the right meat though.

I dropped the loader and plane, put the deck on and mowed the grass today. The attachments are so easy to take off and put on, it’s amazing. And no, I’m not stuck between trees! LOL But you can see the ugly patches that are just starting to green in. The tractor is so maneuverable that it took the same basic time as my Kubota zero turn, and the cut was terrific.

RNG here is a recipe to make your own Sour Cream.
1 cup cashews
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 cup water or as needed
1/4 tsp salt or to taste

Soak cashews for a few hours or overnight, drain and rinse.
blend ingredients in a blender add water as necessary for a smooth texture.

Thanks, Don, I really appreciate you taking an interest.

Unfortunately cashews, along with most nuts, are on the verboten menu for me, due to their high oxalate content. Do you think chickpeas or wild rice would be a viable substitute? :confused2:

56 going to 71, maybe a shower.

Real nice tractor pix. Mine's pretty dirty right now. Might blow it off and lube it today if weather is good.

RNG, what do oxalates do negatively?

Mostly, I never got to my wood splitting, either. Roasted coffee instead after taking Coco to park hiking. Saw more people/kids than usual for midday, since often there is no one there - 13 and 1 dog. I guess with school closed, parents are taking their children for short excursions.

Here is an interesting animal caught on the trail cam, and a red fox for comparison.

 

[daugen]

good morning all.
Payback for too much going on yesterday included major cramps last night, despite trip to hot tub.
Going to take it much easier today.
Will be a hot one today, high 80's and nice, storms not making their way over here

Looks like a red wolf, had plenty of them in the Dismal Swamp area.
