Finally, some new pics…
I know I’ve been saying I’ll post them for ages, so here goes-
I’m sure you’re sick of hearing about the garden. Well it’s almost done, once the habanero’s are all ripe, it’ll probably be time to turn it all over. Actually I am thinking I may not have enough habs to make hot sauce this year. And the jalapeno plants are really not producing as well as they have in the past. I made some tomatoe-jalapeno salsa and canned it, and I’m thinking I just may pickle the rest of the peppers I get.
I know you’re supposed to pick the zucchini before they get too big, so they taste better. But who can resist letting a couple grow to see how huge they’ll get… Take a look at the size of this sucker! In fact, it’s as big as a two-litre soda bottle at the bottom.
One thing that has me a little worried is I don’t know where our spider went. You see, there was a really big spider living on the front porch. I mean really giant, like imagine the body was as big as a walnut. And now I see the giant web is there but no spider. What if that thing got into the house somehow? If I woke up to that thing in my bed I’d probably go through the ceiling! Anyway, here’s a picture of it, you can’t appreciate how scary looking it is unless you’re right there and can actually see it’s fangs.
And I’ve been canning stuff like a canning fool. Here’s the pickled veggies that started the whole canning obsession. Since then I’ve done salsa, pickles (both dill and kosher style), peach jam,and tomatoes (chopped and whole). In fact the whole dining room table is full of stuff I’ve canned in the last week. If you couldn’t guess, I’m trying to keep myself busy as my honey’s away and if I just hang around doing nothing I’ll really start to miss her badly.
So I keep busy around the house, listen to some tunes, the Stones played here, thank you, and stuff like that.
The good news is Grace should be coming home today. I visit her every night and she seems to be feeling much better.
The bad news is I may have to work Saturday, and it’s a three day weekend and I was really looking forward to doing some fun stuff, as well as getting some stuff done around the house I’ve been putting off. Plus this weekend is Stormville Flea Market!! Which is like heaven to a junk collector like me…
In any case, I’m sure even if I do have to work I’ll get around to having some fun and also take a few new pics to post. K, I’m outta here. Back to work for me.
