Sally's GF3 thread

We got between 1.25 and 1.5 inches of rain. I am so very thankful.

Tomorrow, I'll be weeding in the garden. My hands will get sandy/muddy, even through my gloves. I'll probably get a bug bite or five. The humidity is going to rise, it'll get hot, and I don't care. We got rain.

The littles are loving their part of the run. At one point, all five were on my lap, but I couldn't move to get my phone because, well, all five were on my lap.

Pip (on the left) and Sunny started it all.

Update on the Fudge Quiche...

It does indeed freeze well, just as the recipe said. I decided I had to try some to make sure that didn't lose flavor/texture.

One piece might be lonely in my stomach. Two would make much more sense, so they'd have a friend. But a third piece fell out on the plate, and I didn't want to make it feel rejected by putting it back. Ok, I have to have three pieces. I'm up to that challenge.

I have no restraint, waiting for chocolate. This stuff was frozen (after a week in the freezer, it better be), but I had no problem taking a bite. Other than being cold, it was just as delicious as when it was first made.

It's eggs!!! Nutritious!

And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Very foggy this morning. Only it isn't fog, it's wildfire smoke.

I went out to weed a bit and a bit is all I did. "Limit outside activity" warning on the news. I can feel the effect of the smoke in my nose and throat.

It's a shame I'm not out there weeding, as the recent rain (thank you!!!) makes the weeds easier to pull. It's also cool enough to work all afternoon, but I think that's not a good idea.

I weeded where my garlic bed was the last two years. The greens I planted there didn't grow very much, and then bolted. What I really need is another row of green beans, so that's what I planted. Beans (and peas) do not "play well" with alliums, so this is an experiment to see if they grow in a former allium bed.

I have a bucket of weeds for the adult chickens, and a small pile of small weeds for the chicks. Now I'm wondering if I should encourage any activity on their part, because of the smoke in the air.

I think the weeds will go to the compost pile. There are plenty more where they came from, and the smoke is supposed to clear out by tomorrow.

Same here, yesterday too tho I thought it was drizzle and/or fog in between rain showers.
Today is was worse and stinkier....smelled like someone burning plastic garbage.

Yes, very nasty smell.

That's not fog or haze. It's wildfire smoke.

This is about life size. It's an Italian Heirloom tomato, grown from seed I saved from last year's crop.

These 'maters got BIG last year.
