SW Wisconsin (and a lot of Wisconsin!) got some much needed rain overnight. I just checked the gauge and it was a full INCH, so that’s more than enough to do some good and settle the (*Cough, Hack, Wheeze*) dust and pollen!
Today I am baking an Apple Pie (with my own apples!) for tomorrow and also roasting what’s left of the Sabre tomatoes with onions, garlic and herbs for pasta sauce/lasagna filling to freeze.
Also, cleaning/straightening up ‘This Old Dump’ for guests tomorrow. Mom and her BFFs are coming for one final Tomato Raid on the garden. We usually hit the local apple orchard/pumpkin patch this time of year, but I think that’s waiting for another day...and some Fall-like weather. Still high 80’s for a few days and then a cool down starting on this Sunday. Yay! :)
Mom: I am saving the Sabre tomato seeds! I already have about 100, but if you and I are the only ones re-populating the Sabre World, we’ll need more! :)

OK that sounds seriously yummy. We only have 5 left in the garden on two still healthy plants. I will try that next year. Used a couple chopped ones on a homemade pizza, very yummy.
We got 2” this past week .... grass is happy & still growing. I will have to mow when I get back early next week. Will likely have to mow Oakwind on Sunday.
