Friday Miscellany
Fri Jul 11 2008


The smoky skies persist today. Though the temperatures seem much moderated this morning. I may even go out and pull some weeds before it gets too warm.

Today is photo dump day.

Here is Fiona, supervising Belle's breakfast, I guess making sure there are no leftovers or something....

Though it may be true that my solar cooking skills need polishing, my foraging skills are in fine form. Here are plums from the tree down the street. Several branches hang right out into the common area and fall into the road. I rescued them from getting smooshed.

And finally, what's doin' with the peaches....

They are growing slowly. Taking their time, which is fine by me. I am wondering if this year they won't be so gigantic since there are so many of them. That would kind of be nice, as they would be easier to can that way.

So I'm off to do that weeding while the conditions are good.

    Oh my. I'm in love with those plums. I just... Oh my. I wish I was closer...

    I have complete confidence that you will eventually get something edible from your solar box!

    Now, those plums are the kind of roadkill I'd like to find...

    (grow little seeds, grow!)

    RYN: Yeah, it's almost but not quite one piece construction. The sleeves will be worked after the body but I pick up the stitches and go. That seems an easier way to deal with it. No need for a sewing needle to get stuff joined together - well, except when I'm ready to add the zipper. But that's a ways off, thankfully! lol
