riddle

I have a riddle for you 


    Here is the question:  What's a 7 letter word that starts out egg and ends in soup?

    This was kind of a blah day.

    Gray skies, misty, no nap.

    Sometimes I wonder how I am going to get it all done.

    Taking care of Jackie, laundry, cooking, dishes, lawn care and who knows what else.  I complain about it, but I get it done.  Sometimes it takes a while, but I get it done.

    I know there are couples worse off than me, and I am thankful that we are not in a terrible situation.  But it gets mentally and physically tiring with the same day after day after day routine.

    We had a couple of visitors in our back yard today.  It looked like a doe and her fawn.  They were browsing around the bird feeder and then went over to neighbor john's yard.  I lost track of them after that.

    I did not go out to check the garden today.  I should have.  

    Next year I am going with 1 cucumber plant.  This year I have four or 5 of 2 varieties and they have spread like crazy!  But my tomatoes look sick.  I am not optimistic about them.

    Beans and carrots will be good crops.  I can tell by looking at all the flowers on the beans and all the carrots in the planters.  

    That is good.  I cooked the last of the beans the other night.  Well, no actually cooked.  I put the frozen beans in a pan, turned the heat on and went and grilled hamburgers.  Unfortunately I did not put water in the pan and they burned.

    Oh well.

    I guess that is all I have.

    Oh,  the answer t the riddle:  chicken.  I know!  It's not funny!!  But you will tell someone, won't you?

Peace and Love
