HOT. It was 98 degrees - not humid - but still hot. Drew says it is hot in AZ and I believ e him - this is not bad if you like a sauna. It is dry, too. Time to water the trees in the orchard and the veggies we are growing - tomatoes, bell peppers, and the herbs....
What do you do with your 4-legged fur friends when they act like misbehaving children? Libby takes off on Jeff whenever he is outside - so much to explore, I guess. The problem is when she is gone for a long time - we worry because she has seizures. So she ran off today and Jeff could not find her. Later, when he came back from toen, he found her at the bottom of the hill with a new "friend" - a golden retriever. I do not like to have my pets wander un supervised - it is a safety thing - but I guess she is just tempted by the desire to explore. Gonna' have to keep a close eye on her, I guess.
Planning on making some jam...maybe strawberry and blackberry....low sugar, of course. I used to make jam and I love to preserve the bountiful veggies of summer to use year around. I hope to make pickles and can some green beans and tomatoes. Green beans are plentiful and next weekend is the 1st annual Green Bean Festival. All kinds of "happenings" for that festival. This weekend is the Butternut Creek Art Festival and I am looking forward to attending for the first time - a little time off. Our area here in the mountains has a lot of great festivals to offer. Can't wait to attend them all! They celebrate the unique flavor of the area from its agricultural experience, natural activities of camping, mountain hiking and climbing, the history of the area from the old cars and tractors to dances and music, to the natural beauty of Fall leaves. So simple, so much to enjoy. Think I will go out and watch the fireflies ("fairy lights") with a glass of tea or cup of coffee.....
Be blessed,
Kim
