Hello, friends. I hope you managed well during the heat dome. Last week, I cut some rosemary, and made rosemary lemonade.. I harvested all our onions, which was a quite pitiful harvest. Blueberries, blackberries, and a few mulberries were gathered and frozen, except for some included in a fruit salad. Also in the fruit salad were the first two figs of the year. I found more kiwis, hidden among the vines, so all told, there are around a couple dozen. The deer have been grazing on the vines, but I'm hoping the fruits are hidden enough that we'll finally get to enjoy some of our kiwis.
In the garden, I harvested yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and our first tomato. J & I got cages around the remainder of the tomatoes. I recently pulled out a tomato plant that appeared to have some sort of blight, and J replaced it with a volunteer. Basil and purslane were gathered, which I made into pesto. When I was tasting it to see if it needed any adjustment, it tasted so good, I changed dinner plans to pasta with pesto, lol. I'd originally planned on bean burritos. The happy news is I again tried to make GF tortillas, with J's pan, and they did well this time. It's possible it's the pan, but I'm wondering if I just wasn't patient enough in turning them the last couple of times, so will attempt one of the other pans again at some point. The tortillas are on the counter with tea towels separating them, and I plan to use them for tomorrow's dinner.
The pups are doing well. They were my garden assistants, the morning I took the photo. I did work with an animal communicator, shortly after I mentioned it a few weeks ago. A couple of McNibs' supplements have been tweaked, and a couple new ones added, ginkgo and a homeopathic remedy. He was adamant that he doesn't want surgery. He has some discomfort, but no pain. He asked for cheese, and instructed I not be skimpy with it, lol. Guinness also had his supplements tweaked. Those silly boys add goodness to my days. Like others I've seen online recently, I've felt the desire to back off a bit from social media. Though I'm not offline, it's been good to spend more time in reflection, rather than listening to so many other voices, while I work in our home. So, please don't be concerned if I should miss posting some weeks, but know I'm in a good place, enjoying peaceful days. In this crazy world, I expect we can all use more of them. I hope this week brings you at least a few peaceful days.
