It has turned hot, very hot, and the fan motor on our air conditioner locked up two days ago and had to be replaced. Luckily, the one cool day we had these last two weeks was that day and I was able to cool down the house with the whole house fan and open windows. The next morning I cooled the house down using the same method and when the temps were the same inside as outside, I shut up the house and by mid-afternoon our a/c was back in business. Yay!
Harvest is gearing up. Our apple harvest is in, a little early since these fell off while Jim was pruning it. They are not ripe and were nibbled on by little bugs called grandchildren.
This is it folks, three unripe apples. After last years beyond bumper crop, I'm rather thankful.
Our first onions must love us.
Our onions seem to be ready early. We're only getting a few peas. The warmer weather is affecting them and we only got half a dozen seeds to sprout.
First big squash picking. We ate the first ones all up on the weekend. I made soup base out of what I didn't use for relish.
First beans.
5 pints relish.
This was yesterday. Today I made the rest of the beets into 6 quarts and 1 pints of pickles.
