| Blog: Little drops of rain
I believe the ocean is just a bit collection of little drops of rain. Thrift is a collection of little things that you do. The result is a usable amount of cash that you can put toward your needs or wants. It's all a game, and I want to play it well. |

Frost tonight
Saturday, September 16, 2006
The weather man says it will be 39, and we have learned to subtract five or ten degrees. We live in an old river bed, and frost settles here. The wind is howling and it's in the 40's. The garden is keeping my sweet husband busy! So far he has brought in bushels of tomatoes, eggplant, corn, plums, pears, squashes and Snack Jack pumpkins (yummy hulless seeds). Now he's aiming for the basil. I still haven't frozen pesto, and we really love it. We have finally finished juicing apples! The lovely, rose-colored juice is sealed in jars. We did tomatoes yesterday. Tomorrow it will be pesto before church and probably salsa verde after church. I think the Good Lord understands. The garden has been amazingly productive this year!

Lots more canning!
Wednesday, September 06, 2006
This time of year, I get so excited about putting food by! Yesterday I finished the cucumber chunks. I never made them before. They are so good I can't stay out of them! Lots of salt and sugar, though. I also put up apple butter. Today I processed 40 pints of beets for my good friend, Laverne. Her canner wouldn't work. I think it needs the correct gasket. That one looks too small. Then Jim helped me snap green beans and we processed seven quarts of them.
The wind is blowing hard, and my asthma is kicking up. Dinner will be a simple deal, I guess.
