Here is what the big barn ruble looked like on 6-26-17: And here is an updated photo, with a slight progress of "rubble-be-gone"

Morning sunrise this morning. It will be in the 80's (almost 90's one day) for the next 7 days here.  The humidity for today is forecasted at 92%.  It's too wet to work in the garden today, so I'm inside again, working on all that garden goodness I brought in recently. Busy. Busy. Busy. Yesterday I preserved 6 lbs of those delicious beets. 8 pints restocked now.  I have about 2 more pounds to put up yet.  One daughter was not happy to hear that "the canner pot" was coming back to the kitchen.  It's only temporary, but needs done.  Either way I preserve the beets, they are boiled, peeled and put into an ice bath (canned or frozen) first.  Although the recipe I use calls for "baby beets" I used the smallest of my Cylindra beets recently picked.  They sliced up in nice small circles for canning. I tasted these, and oh my gosh, they taste better than the last beets I canned this way.  We may be planting ...

Now that it's cold out , handiw ork needs to resume.  I made these crocheted hand towels back in March of 2015 .  they are still looking good.  Other than a bit of faded color, they are holding together nicely and work very well for bathroom hand towels. I have just a bit more of this yarn to make myself a few more, so th at's now in a "to-go" proj ect bag. Trust me, I have very, very lit tle handiwork time righ t now, and when I do, I am too tired to do it, ha ha!
