Home again, home again, jiggity jig ... as of yesterday. The driving was a pain, but the visiting was ‘priceless’.
While I was gone, my SIL borrowed (permanently) one of my spaghetti squash and made it. She said it turned out perfectly & she wants to plant them next year :-)
I currently have one baking in the toaster oven (400° for about 30-40 minutes). It will be paired with a “Hearty Meat Sauce” I make. It will be delicious - I love ‘spaghetti’ & used to eat it frequently until I had to give up pasta. Spaghetti squash makes a spaghetti dinner possible again.
Caught up on mowing today - 5 hours & all the back fields are done. During the heat wave last week, there was also a decent breeze blowing & any moisture got sucked right out of the ground. It’s very dry & dusty & some grass patches are brown & ‘crunchy’. It was somewhat overcast, no bright sun, & humidity was lower so it was a great day to mow.
As I came around the end of the old horse ring, there was a gorgeous buck in the far back field. Not a ‘monster’, but still a large, symmetrical rack. He finally had enough of the mower & jumped the fence. I’m sure we will see neither hide nor hair of this big boy when hunting season comes in.
