picked tomatoes today, will be busy canning some of them today and tonight...

yes, but we've had a lot worse before and not had this happen. also we're not really close to any neighbors that they should be having any effect on us.

more bean picking and weeding yesterday morning. afternoon chances of rains and only had a little. no rains for today but chances again for tomorrow. will check and pick tomatoes today and see how many and if enough to process.

spam calls have been down quite a bit in the past year, but we don't get that many.

@frustratedearthmother be glad they didn't take down your fence!

all checked, yes we do have a pressure tank but the temperature of the water going into the tank from the well is warmer than usual. in the past running the water just a few minutes to flush out the pipes before i'd get a drink of cold water. there were no other plumbing changes besides the...

@Alaskan i completely agree with that sediment...

grr! i don't like changes... i really don't like changes i don't understand or have all the facts of the matter. a few weeks ago we needed our hot water heater replaced and that did happen but then the water coming out of the faucets was tepid to warm. i thought it was something that...

yesterday was weeding and then picked a few tomatoes and a bucket of green peppers, a red pepper and some Beaver Dam peppers (enough to make a big bowl of casserole like stuffed peppers but i just cut them into chunks and stirred those into the rice, vegetables and meat mixture before baking...

our forecast high for the week is next Friday with 76F and some of the overnight lows this week will be around 45F.

by the time they're cooked you won't notice, i like apple pie filling rather tart with lemon juice so that also would help make sure that if there's anything going on there that it likely won't survive being cooked an in an acidic environment...

new ice-cream flavor: Yelmer Fuddge

i got the top part of the north garden done! still have two edges to weed but those are downhill and not as critical. i need to pick tomatoes soon for canning and i did pick some peppers today for making stuffed peppers this afternoon/evening and a few tomatoes for eating. there's a lot of...

jalapeno level hot, so not super hots but close enough. i consider them just right. i do not need fire in the hole just warm is good enough. :)

a picture of some Beaver Dam peppers

my hopes were bigger than my abilities, but i did make a nice dent in that garden and can finish up eventually. i even went out for round 2 in the afternoon but only an hour and a half was all i could do before i ran out of oomph. did not want to overdo it and injure myself so i knew to call...

i hope it turns out well! :)
