Christie geared to fight allergies in the garden |
We're canning more and freezing less. The freezers are topped out. We sat on the corner out on the main street for a couple of hours a weekend ago - made a big $3. Won't do that again. We gave some of our overflow to a farmers market in Scottsdale and made considerably more. Was even sweeter because we didn't have to man the booth. Maybe next season we'll designate some of our crops just for the valley market. We've also given bags to the food shelter. They loved that.

This morning I woke up to a flooded laundry room spilling over into my bathroom and kitchen. You're not going to believe me, but the washer turned itself on. Actually, I forgot to close the lid. Not usually a problem because it shuts off and sits there. And I'm sure it did because some time in the night or early morning I got up to use the bathroom, and there was no water under my feet. But at 6:00 this morning there was, and it was still running. It had to have turned on or overrode the auto shut off some time in the wee hours. What a mess. Sure hope there's no damage where it ran into the floor vent.
Lance and Christie are on the first part of their mini-honeymoon staying two nights in Laughlin. Hope their having fun - and it's not so bad having the house to ourselves either!
How nice of you to share your surplus with the poor. You are such a nice person Brenda! Have you tried a thunderjacket for Gabby? It works really well for my little dog. Usually more quickly then tranquillisers. You can get them on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteYour washing machine is clearly hoping to be featured in your next book - THE Haunted Washer
Thunderjacket - I will definitely check it out. Thanks, Jenny.
DeleteWhat a wonderful year for your first garden! I'm glad you were able to find ways to share and benefit from your bounty. As for the washing machine, major bummer. I leave my lid open all the time on my washer, but I'm guessing things are different in AZ with your water situation. Hope all is well with washer/water problem.
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I've left it open before. And it wasn't running at midnight so why it came back on some time later? Ghosts?
