Are we living our dream?

Sounds like you're doing fine, without inspiration!

Oooh, I have an onion/cheese fritter I want to try!! You reminded me wish I'd read this an hr ago! Before the ham sandwich

How's it going now days? Touch base.

Nature called so I got up and convinced myself to get busy. I wanted to get more done before anyone was up but DH was maybe only 40 minutes behind me.
I hope I’m not sorry but I just ordered some 6X300 foot black fabric weed barrier and 100 stainless steel 6 inch staples to hold it down. It was just an idea to try to deal with my needs in the easiest way possible in my condition.
I’m trying to finish up some watermelon rind preserves today. Hopefully this morning. DH was going to feed them to the chickens but I’m too cheap. I can’t find the potato masher but I did chop them in very small chunks. I added pectin cuz I wanted a jelly consistency. I realize it won’t taste like watermelon by the time I’m done with it. But DH goes through a ridiculous amount of jelly, jam and various preserves. Might as well fill my empty jars.
It’s about ridiculous how I own private property but have to be afraid of parish officials bullying me into keeping the grass under control. And it’s so hot to get out there and have to take care of so much. Tell you the truth; if the black fabric does the trick, I might consider buying much more of it for the orchard, my old home and whatever I can manage to deal with.

I enjoy making jelly, jams & preserves but, now almost no one around here eats them. Kids & grands all grown up. I've shared with friends, who always want more -- but, they don't want to return my jars! I want them back, even empty.... They're $$$
The sugar & fruit are bad, have you priced pectin lately?
