Howdy folks! I just came up for air for a minute and thought I’d drop by. It was a busy summer. Now we are in the throes of madly harvesting the garden. The domestic goddess has been canning up pickles. We got a lot of cucumbers. If you get in the way in the kitchen you will wind up in a jar! We got a lot of tomatoes also and they are ripening on shelves under lights. We had a number of BLT’s. Yum. I got the potatoes Sunday. About 200 pounds. We are lifting carrots today. So far ten gallons from about 4 feet of bed. Have also spent a certain amount of time picking up after all the arboreal litterbugs in the yard. We had 32 and a light snow this morning. Powerful encouragement! Take care, be safe and be happy!

I was wondering if it snowed on you yet! I am SO looking forward to cooler weather - hot again today and HUMID, but all the huge (and I mean HUGE) storms that passed through yesterday and last night? Not a drop of rain fell on us!

Mom invited an Aunt over to ‘see my garden’ toward the end of October. Not going to be much to SEE, but it’ll get me motivated to have it all cleaned up.

I put the canning things away, yesterday. Once the Applesauce is canned, I’m DONE for the season. Yay! :)
