It's a really dark morning out here on the deck - overcast. It may even rain this morning. We'll see. It's predicted but it's supposed to be 81* and sunny by afternoon.
Yesterday was great! Grocery shopping, friends, and a Zoom visit with Amara and Company! She responded to us when we called her name, she was bouncing on her legs on Daddy's lap, and she's just the best little baby granddaughter in the world! And her parents are very happy that she's sleeping through the night now. She sat with us for about 20 min before she started getting a little fussy. The kids say they want to Zoom now about once a week so when we get down there in Nov she'll hopefully remember our faces and we won't scare her too much!
At the store yesterday, fresh Hatch chilies were in so I bought an almost 4# bag. So I spent a good hour roasting, steaming, peeling, seeding, bagging them for the freezer. TINA, I know you usually do about 75# a year. I can't imagine that! But I think for us, anyway, we have enough for the winter.
CAROL - I'm glad the pool is down. I would guess maybe another neighbor told on you? The unbelievable part of the story is that they lady just didn't get what a danger it posed to the littles in the neighborhood! An attractive nuisence. I hope she was nice to you. You don't want any enemies just 4 houses down! I saw Costco had a Mediteranean Cookbook in their book section last time we were there.
BECCA - I love most veggies, too. My all time favorite is lima beans, but of course, that's one of the few that Bill doesn't care for. It's the reverse for beets which he likes and I don't. To see white squirrels, mythology says, means a big change is happening in your life. You can't get much bigger changes that you have gone through this year.
Thank goodness it also means good luck! LORI - Sounds like everything at your house is now fresh and clean and smelling good! My friend who wants to do the 8 quilts for Christmas is actually a hoarder. Her 4 bedroom house is FULL, the double car garage, her husband's 24x36 ft shop, and 2 storage units are all full. It's all good stuff - no garbage - but good Lord, she has no idea of the things she has. She gets overwhelmed by it all and so simply leaves and goes shopping for more. She has that beautiful Koala sewing center, but she can't get into the sewing room, so now she's spread everything out in her dining and living rooms. I seriously doubt she'll finish even one of her quilts, but she's bought all the fabric for them all. They are on a trip in OR right now and her hubby texts mine and says she's hitting quilt shops along the way and buying more. She's all about buying the toys, not actually playing with them. But that's just her way as she travels through life. Her kids are dreading the day . . . .
Supper here tonite is going to be grilled teriyaki chicken, corn on the cob, and spinach. What's happening on your plate?
