Lots of Things

Canning first. I know this looks strange but remember I'm not in my own home yet so I had to improvise, adapt, overcome!!! Anybody remember which movie that's from....hehehehe
Anyway. It's pickle time. I was down to my last jar. Mr. Cowboy was becoming desperate. We eat pickles with nearly everything.
One of my girlfriends called to say the cucumbers were ready & that I could come & get some for free if......if I'd make a batch for pickles for her hubby. Of course I shouted YES!!!
 
 Next, I finally got to the store to buy the things I need for my new adventure thanks to Shasta (read the previous post to catch up on that).
I have a couple of ideas of the way I want to go with this but.....I've been known to change my mind.
 
On a final note, is anyone else getting the large amount of rain/thunderstorms that we are getting? Yesterday we got 3.5 inches. WOW! I'll need a canoe very soon.
Send some sunshine our way please...someone, anyone!

Hmmm.. that is an unofficial slogan of the Marines. I guess I didn't see that movie.

I don't generally make pickles but I am anxiously awaiting the figs to make preserves. LOL We can always "make do" can't we?

Yay, on the pickles - a batch for each of you? Or you just canned them all and got to keep half? What a deal that is. I kind of do the same with a friend. I provide what to can, and she cans and keeps half. =) Yes, on the thunderstorms! Every afternoon, just like a desert monsoon, we're getting a thunderstorm and rain. I went out to the trash today, and we've left a can outside to air out. It had about 8 inches of water in it, and I don't know how long that took to accumulate, but what a rain gauge it made! Try not to drown, our forecast has 5-6 more days of this in it, and I think it might be coming up from your direction!

I used to make pickles all the time but now we don't have a cold cellar and they don't seem to keep. As for sharing the sunshine - I'm sorry but I'm going to be very greedy and hang onto the little bit we've seen over the past couple of months.

We are trying to sell our home so I am not canning this summer. I miss making my grandmothers 14 day pickles. I always do a batch each year but don't want pickles smelling up the house while they are making if we have someone come to see the house. :)

;-}

Don't count the days, make the days count!
