Good Morning all...
I hope this post finds you well and life is treating you the same. It has been a couple weeks since I have posted anything. Quite frankly, I have been busy. It has been a terrible busy couple of weeks around here.
The garden is getting to the point where I am starting to harvest and get ready for canning items. I have been looking for new recipes to try along with some of the old favorites. We have been foraging for wild edibles when given the chance and just beating the heat. We had a week almost week and a half of terribly hot and dangerous weather. My child and I spent many hours at the lake cooling off and staying refreshed.
Today brings us to the 19th of July. Wow...we are over halfway to Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah...whichever holiday you celebrate. Even if you don't....then the Winter Solstice (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere).
Back to my garden. I realized as I planted this year...that I got some of my seeds mixed up. When I thought I was planting cucumbers for pickles, I guess I planted acorn squash...So instead of 4 plants of cucumbers, I have 4 acorn squash...and only 2 cucumbers. I seemed to do okay with zucchini...as I only have 2 of those plants, but I think I am going to use zucchini to make pickles this year as well as cucumbers. I am going to try something different. I will let you know how that turns out. In face, I will probably be pickling early next week...so watch for that post coming up.
Hmmm...what else is new...Not much. Life, like anything else keep going and going and going. I didn't even honestly realize it has been so long since I was on here until I checked in. I guess being an active member of the nature community, I take advantage of the outdoors when I can. With the weather being so nice, we are out there a lot.
On that note, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Like I said, look for posts next week on pickling. I will post my recipes as I go along as well. Many blessings to you and yours!
