Hello all. Things are going great here. I'm doing great, Generic Dude is doing great, slave is doing great. Life is good. GD bought he and I new bicycles and we've been cruising the local bike trails. I've been a canning freak again this year. I recreated GD's fav green salsa and make 15 jars. Did around 30 jars of one of my favs, pickled beets. The apple trees were barren this year so I tried something new........pear sauce. It turned out way better than I expected. I did a dozen jars of marinara and will likely do another big batch of that as well as some plain tomatoes and some regular salsa. I grew some sugar (Pie) pumpkins this year so will be canning pumpkin and pumpkin butter. After that, gonna chop and freeze the rest of the onions and basil, then call it good for the year. Needless to say, my veggie garden did wayyyyy better than I expected. Starting to prepare for winter. New tires on the old dodge truck. We will be residing the house and replacing a couple of windows and a door in the next month or two. I've also got to buy a few trailer loads of hay for the horses. One of the canine fur babies scared the shit out of me last month. She started losing weight dramatically and had non stop diarrhea. She was a shitting, walking skeleton. After a lot of research and a VERY expensive trip to the vet, she was diagnosed with EPI. Fortunately it's easily treated, though expensive. After a month of treatment she is back up to her normal weight and all is well. We have a couple more weeks to try and find a camper in Generic Dude's price range and my, acceptable to sleep in range.......before the big fall family gathering. Wish us luck!
