Mid-Week on Wednesday

 

Mixed Fruit Dump Cake

It was rather cloudy on Wednesday and "cool" with a high of 65F.  But, it was a good day to garden and M repotted the blueberry bush that was drying up and losing its leaves and he transplanted the raspberry plant.  It had been growing in a planter and we planted it in the ground.  He also sprayed some copper spray on the fruit trees and we placed a "collar" of wire mesh around the trunk of the Asia pear tree as the garden cats have started to sharpen their claws on it and have damaged the bark!  

I mended one of the long sleeved T-shirts daughter had decluttered which I had taken for myself.  There was a small tear near the hem and I mended the hole and rehemmed it.  I also unpicked the large tag/label with the clothing company name that had been sewn on the back because the label felt scratchy when I wore the top.

I spent the afternoon watching some videos and knitting.  Later, I sorted through one of the pantry cabinets and one of the freezer shelves.  As part of the freezer shelf organizing, I pulled out a package of homegrown peaches, a package of homegrown blueberries, and a small package of strawberries.  I put the frozen fruit into a square glass baking pan and poured half a package of yellow cake mix on top and dotted the top with some pats of butter.  Then, I baked it at 350F for 30 minutes and made what I'm calling a mixed fruit dump cake.  I didn't add any sugar to the frozen fruit as the cake mix is sweet enough.

Mixed Fruit Dump Cake Serving

Daughter and I enjoyed some of the mixed fruit dump cake after dinner, while it was still warm.  

I had a chicken sandwich for brunch and daughter had a roast pork sandwich.  For dinner, daughter had chicken curry and I had pork roast.  

On Wednesday, I was grateful for:
- A good day for gardening
- M's help with the garden
- Working appliances and electricity and natural gas to run them
- Frozen homegrown fruit
- Being able to mend and to knit

Wednesday's joyful activities included gardening, knitting, and baking.

Plans for Thursday include more freezer organizing and knitting.
