every once in a while i need a day to do pretty much nothing planned. however, today was not one of those days as i had all those peppers to go through and about half of them got cut up and put into the freezer for future chili making (including enough for making some chili this weekend). that...

haha, of course! that's why it is so funny. :) or at least it is funny to me. :)

three and a half buckets worth. i've called the people who were happy to take my last extras and this time they said they didn't need any more but they know someone else who might want them so i'll hear more about that tomorrow morning sometime... we'll see... in the meantime tonight i'll be...

we had thunder and lightning but i slept through some of it. when i woke up at various times during the night it was raining. i haven't checked the rain gauge yet but it is probably about an inch full.

i remember where i put it when i find it the last place i looked...

chicken a'la king yesterday with biscuits and mixed vegetables. not sure what today will be.

welcome from mid-Michigan.

with potential frosts in the forecast today will be pepper picking day and then i'll probably get some or all of them cleaned up, chunked and frozen for chili. i've not looked at the plants in a few weeks so there might be none, a little or a lot to deal with.

almost 30yrs and counting, but fall of 2011 was when we replaced roof and hoped to have it all set. since then just these little intermittent leaks that have taken way too long to get taken care of, but sometimes it has taken almost a few years between leaks so...

it started raining last night and every time i've woken up it has been raining. we've really needed a good soaker so this is very welcome, plus, i can enjoy a day off from gardening and other outside "issues"... :) :) :) as a bonus no leaks in the roof noticed as of yet.

if your power company provides an hourly energy usage report pull it up once in a while and check to see if it has changed much. when i've had issues with the well pump running too often this has helped me compare "before" and "after" to see when the change has happened. also they usually have...

too many complications and not enough time - pretty much just dealing with what i can as i can and then just letting the rest go until it can be dealt with. i may not get to some of these things for years and it won't be the end of the world if it takes me that long to get to them - i just have...

the past few days we've not even hit the dewpoint overnight. that is very very unusual here. this current forecast has us down for slight chances of rain this early evening so i should be able to pick beans as much as my legs will let me before dark, but we'll see. then we have chances of...

i did get out early and got the trench dug before it got too hot and then i came in for a short break and managed to fall asleep for a few minutes which i wasn't expecting... then got back out and finished that garden up so i can get on to the next one tomorrow. no more grass or weeds showing...

good to hear he is moving - i agree with some tough love. glad you were able to get some sleep at last! :) hope the Texans can win.

if we all had teleporter booths we could just pop-in. :) (being as i really do not like the pop-in i think not having teleporter booths is a minor inconvenience...) still it would be more fun to be able to go visit some friends than to have to fly or drive across the country to do it. and...

you went easy on him as it could have been something about new rollerskates and a key...

sounds very good to me. :) when i used to grow a lot of garlic and had extra to make into garlic relish. i only did this once but yes, i was actually silly enough to go through and clean up a five gallon bucket of tiny garlic cloves so i could grind it in the meat grinder and then cook it up...

yes, and maybe i can get the rest of it done today if i get out there about an hour earlier... we'll see... :) the remaining part left doesn't have nearly as much grass in it for me to scrape but it will be 2/3rds more area and a longer trench to dig and then fill back in. whatever i don't...

toss with lemon, garlic and olive oil and some parsley if you have it - oh, and eat it fresh not canned (even if the title of this thread says otherwise :) )...
