I don't actually know what to do with gourd type squash.

I still have one big butternut squash left over from last year. I think I'll cook it in the microwave today.

Just finished mowing two back yards, mine and my neighbor's. I should run the weed trimmer, but that's work, not fun like riding the mower.

I half-filled a 2 quart yogurt tub with trimmed, crushed tomatoes and put it in the freezer. When I have enough of them I'll make tomato sauce and can it.

Five eggs today. I've been mixing high protein (27%) gamebird feed with their layer pellets at about a 1 to 2 ratio. The girls have plenty of shells (egg and oyster) for calcium.

Anyway, I think they are laying better eggs because of the extra protein. And it could be a coincidence, but none of the chickens have eaten any eggs lately.

Nutrena egg producer is 22%.

My hens feather pick if they are on layer so I've fed at least 20% since

Went in the garden found 3 zucchini one smaller for us and 2 over grown ones I am baking those for the birds.
One pumpkin nice and orange not real huge.
Noticed the tomato are starting to ripen all of a sudden.

My silkies love oversize zucchini just split open for them

They let me out of brace except for sleeping. Compression glove and pinky strapped to ring finger. Gentle straightening started yesterday to go with the curling.

No strengthening exercises yet. All mobility for a few more weeks. This takes a long time to heal.

I may never be able to fully straighten it again, but it will be usable and not get hung up or caught on anything.

I am glad to hear it is healing good !
I took a cool shower needed to wash the body and hair.
Feel almost normal adult

This happened with a kitchen knife? Man that’s really serious! I hope it heals fast and very well!

I was cutting blackberry vines down and the blade caught and I pulled. Have cut resistant sleeves and gloves now because hubby doesn't trust my klutzy butt.
