Denephew Weekend

Henry stayed with Pop over the weekend, and when Henry comes to visit, we always enjoy cooking for the lad. Mostly because he eats more than both of us put together. We have no idea where he puts it, but we love it when people come over and enjoy a meal.
We started with Friday night baked burritos and ended with Sunday morning biscuits and gravy.

Scrambled eggs with ketchup and jalapeno peppers

Hamburgers with guacamole

Baked Burritos

Grill S'mores? Yes please

Prior to Henry arriving, we went old school on the grill and had steaks with sweet potatoes for dinner one night.

The weather called for rain most of the weekend, so we took our sweet potato slips and planted them in the garden. Then it didn't rain, so....

We did our official one week hive inspection this week. We found an empty hive. No comb, no dead bees, nada. Something went wrong so our time as bee owners was brief. We had two more packages of bees on order, but they had been three weeks coming. Lawman called the business (a business one might look for supplies for their tractor) and they informed us they shipped on May 8th. Then they looked into the shipping tracker, and found the bees were "damaged" during shipment. He asked for replacement packages but apparently it's too late in the season and they were sold out of bees.
Somebody didn't want us in the bee business apparently. Maybe next year?

A few stragglers around the lemongrass is all that was left

Our ducks and chicks have began doing their bug sweeps away from the slanty shanty. The ducks are much smarter than chickens, so far we are very pleased with their progress.

Earlier in the month, one of our relatives made a donation to the family cemetery for gas to keep it mowed. We thought that was a very nice gesture, so we baked them a buttermilk pie to say thank you.

We normally end our week with wings, but being a holiday weekend, we decided to catch a Sunday viewing of "Deadpool 2" at the drive in. So we ended the week with the worlds best hotdogs and caramel apples.
