I’ll float that idea past ‘The Chairman’ and see what he thinks. When I first moved here he told me I get ONE Sunday off a month, just like any other local Farm Hand.

And THAT Sunday had better be spent in Church, LOL!

Peach-A-Palooza continues! So far I have made Peach Salsa (peaches, tomatoes, peppers, spices) and it's pretty kick-@ss! That needs to be canned, today.

Peach Butter is all put up. 13 half-pints. That turned out great, too.

On the docket for later today is Peach Bourbon BBQ Sauce. Looking forward to fiddling with that recipe, for sure. ;) One neighbor came and picked end of day yesterday and took two CRATES off my hands. Another is coming by this morning to pick. I have a good 2 dozen on my kitchen counter. We should have them all picked/used by the weekend with some shared with the birds.

We are having a family picnic at our Lake Cabin Sunday - sort of a last minute thing. Mom got in the tomato patch a couple days ago & picked/gave away a lot & I did some canning. Hopefully, we’ll have some large tomatoes ripe enough to slice by Sunday. I scoured the cherry tomato vine and barely came up with enough for a 2 pint batch of pickled cherry tomatoes.

The recipe I am using has fresh rosemary sprigs - I cut them out of the herb garden and they smell heavenly. Add fresh garlic & some new peppercorns (had to buy some for this recipe) .... not sure I can wait 2 days to try them! They will barely be infused long enough by picnic time, but I think they’ll be really good. :-)
