Last Weeks activities!
Spent Monday and Tuesday catching up on things around the house. I’m not sure I made much headway, however. I knew Galen was leaving very early Thursday, so Wednesday was laundry and making pickled jalapeños. I wanted to send some along with him for our friends. Only got 3 pints. I decided not to process these as they will be good for 3 or 4 months when kept in the refrigerator.
Thursday afternoon, I decided it was time to tackle the pie pumpkins. Had 8 waiting for me to puree and freeze in the quantity needed for my Mom’s pie recipe. 1 1/2 cups. 11 packs in the freezer for pies or other recipes.
I was finally able to finish the dog bandanas I started the previous week. 14- 6 small 8 XS.
I had a piece of another Fall fabric – big enough for 3 medium ones.
Galen’s trip didn’t go quite as planned. Slow traffic getting away from San Antonio. They finally got to their destination around 1 PM. in the Texas Panhandle. ( Childress). Then they discovered all the motels near Childress were full. They ended up driving 2 hours to Abilene. Took a while but finally found one that had 2 rooms available. Galen said it was a $60.00 room that cost $200! Big construction job going on. On the upside, they did get to take pictures of birds, butterflies, and tiger beetles before trying to find a motel. Galen got a brand new Tiger beetle. Crimson Saltflat. This one is prettier than some of the ones he has photographed!
The Monarch Butterflies have been spending a lot of time enjoying our Mexican sunflowers.
Have a busy week ahead. I need to get more bandanas sewn. We are supposed to start having more Fall like temperatures now. I’m really hoping that is true. Need to repot some plants outside. I also need to decide what I want to can. Definitely need to make chicken corn noodle soup, and I have several ham bones in the freezer to use for ham and bean soup. Plenty to keep me busy!
May you have a good week ahead.
Always love reading your posts!
