Ahh...she is giving you a gift.

Better than cat gifts, although my chooks love finding those and eating them, if the others stop chasing her.

Learned something today. Read it here. All about tomato ripening science.

I learned about that this summer, when I couldn't figure out why my tomatoes weren't ripening (let's face it, this was a poor year for summer veggies) - so when it was hot I took half-ripened tomatoes inside (since the house is set to 74F), to get them to ripen more reliably when I knew I'd be needing them.

Just some pretties to brighten your day! Adopted 4 more hens today, and finally got my new range. Chicken math and fever. Love you all.

Just in time for tomato sauce, etc. Last year I canned green tomato salsa. Yummy! Hubby eats a lot of chips and salsa. Might need to make regular salsa this year. Blueberry jam sounds delicious! Still want to pick blackberries.

We've had tons of Marion Berries this year, so I have made a couple pies. We're not big jelly eaters, so not making that. I found a great "Oregon's Best" pie recipe that calls for cream cheese base and the berries over that in a double crust. It is so good.

Me as well. Made wine last year, will do so again next year. Cobblers are always a hit! Windfall apples for a crisp or two. Still have much in freezer. No little kids to feed.
