" Preparation "

This morning as we drank our coffee on the screen porch, we had a chilly 62 degrees and a mystical misty view over the pond to enjoy. The garden is winding down and I can't say I'm sorry as I'm getting tired of canning but preparing for Winter will be worth it down the road.




There was pepper running out our ears over the weekend. Hubby strung this cayenne.

I made Green Tomato Relish.........

Got 6 pint jars in the end...

This cabinet.....

Is nearly full. Maybe room for a few Pickled Okra left. My step-mom Tena would be proud!

Pepper Anyone? See, I wasn't kidding about the "out our ears"

We seeded and cut all of it in strips for the freezer to be used in recipes this winter! I also canned 5 jars of pepper sauce! Half of the pepper sauce will be given away.

Today I will be preparing for a movie! Tomorrow I will get the dreaded "upstairs/downstairs"

treatment at the GI doctor! I'll be on the "run" later today! HA! I am way past the due date for this, it can no longer be avoided! It's just routine, no problems. I still have not heard from my MRI but I'm going with the " no news is good news " theory ! I'm sure I hear today.

And let's not forget the "fat boys"They are fabulous! They now recognize our voices and respond by moving and wagging their tales!

They are holding theirs heads up and sitting up some.

They have also started to play and nip at each other a little.......Hoss will be staying here and Duke will be going to my Aunt.

Thanks for all your comments, I read them and smile in between doing all I have to do in getting prepared for the coming days. I will be going to Tennessee this coming weekend to pick up Melanie's children to come and stay for a week before they head back to school!
