Yellow Squash Relish ~ Random Tidbits
My sides with breakfast are garden potatoes with onion and green pepper, leftover squash patties, and a cup of organic wild thyme tea. The only thing missing was a slice of homemade English muffin slathered in homemade Cinnamon blueberry jam. I would be baking the muffins, but garden duty calls most days.
This was yesterday's breakfast. Today? I'm not so sure. It's my turn to not get any sleep. I was woken up by Hubby at 3:30am, who was up for some reason and let a dog out. In the process he held the door open too long and out went Tiger (youngest one's cat). We ran around the house a few times and finally got him in. I never fell back asleep until just before Hubby's alarm went off - 5:30am. I have a long day ahead (more canning).

Kids
We have been having some wonderfully cool weather. The wind was perfect for drying laundry, but I often forget about it until I'm retiring for the night and see it (the laundry) staring at me through the window.
It's perfect camping weather, but we are bogged down with duties. The kids almost put up a tent last night, but they chickened out. There were excuses too - no "camping" food, nothing to make s'mores with, too windy for a campfire, etc.
