In the process of swapping out the old and new refrigerator, I found a tote with more goat supplies I was keeping. We have already given away the milk pail.
I guess I was hanging on to all of this, just in case things got very bad in this world, and we needed to invest in dairy goats again. We decided to let it go. The "zebra" goat coats were sewn from old pajamas from the kids. I made them myself actually. The other was made from old sweatpants. I guess you could say this is my only purge this week.
We are still enjoying fresh cucumber salad, cucumber salsa, and I tried a new yellow squash casserole (which lacked flavor).
The green/wax bean plants were yanked. We enjoyed some of the freshly picked ones. It's too late to fall plant them. We had a good harvest this year. We got 37# this year. I gave some to the kids, we ate some, and froze some.
After several weeks, we finally got 90% of the flower beds weeded. I still need to weed the herb garden as well.
I don't know why I started going back to the library. I had books due back (crochet, cookbooks) before I even had a chance to look at them.
It rained, but not a really good soak. I took advantage of the day and became the zucchini Houdini. I have more squash to deal with yet.
Breakfast was Chili and Cheddar Egg dish, and some local blueberry sausages.
I boiled some eggs for snacking or light lunches.
I used some zucchini for chicken teriyaki, and some yellow squash, so I made homemade teriyaki sauce for that. My husband was bugging me for zucchini bread, so I baked 2 loaves, and one went to work with him, and I made BBQ beans with the last of the freshly picked beans. We have leftovers for days here.
The sun is out today, and back to the 80's. Yesterday, it was an oddly low 70's day.

That's a good harvest for beans. Mine have been incredibly slow and only started blooming this past week. I was thinking I wouldn't get any! So, maybe a few now, I hope.
