The carrots are all out of the ground - 7.7# more. I got them all out after a day of rain, but it was so wet out there. I could not pull dead plants, and then the rain returned this morning. With a vengeance. This puts all garden work, and barn work to a halt.
Walking to the mailbox, and passing the herb garden yesterday, I realized I haven't stocked up on some herbs. Dehydrator is going strong this week. Or was. The rain halted this too.
New recipe: Pumpkin Hummus. I had one pint of pumpkin (from last year) that needed rotated out of the freezer. It was hummus or pumpkin pancakes. Hummus won.
The taste test?
I'll let you know after we taste it tonight. I'm going to guess it will taste similar to the butternut squash hummus I made, but different spices.
I had all kinds of ideas before I woke up this morning, but I'm not feeling it. I thought it would be nice to can another batch of carrot cake jam, but I'll do it another day. My gusto and lack of umpf just got up and left. There are days like this, but thankfully not often. It's the reality of gardening - work. I will be lucky if I just get the 7.7# of carrots in the freezer today.
I hope your day is filled with energy. Send some my way. I'll be sitting on the porch later, crocheting or knitting, or reading, or writing...and waiting for the zap of zippity to return. A day of rest is good for the body and soul. And mind.
