Garden Trek Log--Day 14

August still, and the garden is a'growin'. Got a huge batch of cucumbers from a dear gardening friend, rustled up some onions from another fellow gardener, added my green peppers and chopped up a 5 gallon crock of sweet pickle relish. It is draining in the sink, a 2 hour process, then I mix all the yummy ingredients together, and cook them and process them. Supper tonight looks to be something frozen, nuked, and splashed with some fresh tomatoes and cantaloupe. Whipped up a double batch of zucchini chocolate muffins yesterday and distributed to various needy people (needing chocolate, what else?), including the dentist's office (it's a bribe!). Meantime hubby keeps picking and the flowers are now taking over parts of the garden that are finished producing.

August already?

Don't know where the summer is going, but it is slipping by quickly. Been doing a little beading, painting the basement with white masonry paint, a huge improvement, and cleaning things out as I go. Still harvesting the garden, zucchini still alive, green peppers gorgeous, tomatoes, smaller but still yummy. This coming weekend is Puddle Jumper Days so will be busy volunteering at the quilt show there. And of course our wonderful cool spell is supposed to be broken this week, natch, PJ Days always always finds the heat. We'll make it though, we are over the hump, more than halfway through summer. Got inspired by all the dragonflies flitting around our watergarden, so thought I'd bring some in through jewelry!
