68°f/20°C, feels so cool! Lower humidity at last. High of 88 yesterday, 90 expected today.
View from the porch. No blooms along the walk right now, sadly. The geraniums aren't blooming well at all this year: usually they are a dependable source of color. We have to wait til next Spring to paint the replacement boards on the railing, as these are pressure-treated and won't retain paint yet.
It is a beautiful morning, a bright start to what will be another hot day. At least lower humidity makes it more bearable.
I made black raspberry jam yesterday, snapped more beans, and got a huge ham divided into smaller bags and vacuum-packed. Larry bought the ham thinking it was on sale, but he grabbed the wrong one so he paid a pretty penny for it. However, it will make many, many meals and sandwiches.
He dug up the carrots for me, so today I will be cleaning them up.
Most will go in the freezer, but i will use some, along with the green beans, potatoes, tomatoes and onions from the garden to make a big batch of vegetable soup to can. That will happen tomorrow, as today we will be taking the big buffet to our booth. Planning to make cucumber relish too, as we have an overload of cukes at the moment, and I need more relish. We shall see!
Meanwhile I painted this cute little table. It's not quite ready, but will go to our other location on Friday, I think, to go into the display window. I plan to change the window over to a more Fall-ish look. Early I know, but at one location that sells mainly new decor, they are going all out with Fall, and it's selling like hotcakes. Go figure.
Well, as Garrison Keillor used to say, that's all the news that isn't! Ending with this, which I thought was so funny.
