Hi, friends!
Happy Wednesday, I hope your week is going well.
Let’s talk some good news. What’s good in your lives?
I’ll start with 2 things. First, I’m not hungover despite drinking a lot of tequila last night. Second, while I had a lot of tomatoes split from 11 inches of rain, when I checked this morning all the branches that had fallen over from the weather were not snapped. So fingers crossed they’re gonna be okay. I did tie them up and trim off a lot of leaves afflicted with leaf spot that I could finally reach.
I made a peach pie this week and it’s delicious.
It’s BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you! I was too lazy to do a lattice crust. I could have laid my pattern out better but it doesn’t matter once it’s cut up anyway.
Is that some kind of butterfly cookie cutter style deal, or how does that work?
Yep, I just used a mini cookie cutter. Easy peasy.
Special Guest FYCE post.
I would but I have issues with my laptop and pics. It was a nightmare putting together my Italian cookie posts. ☹️
Send me the recipe then, please. I’m a sucker for a good peach pie.
I will
My mouth is watering looking at that! Big scoop of vanilla ice cream with my slice please!
I don’t care much for ice cream but I was wishing I had some to go with this.
Going to Tahoe in 3 days could be something good, beautiful lake & lots of paddle boarding. Wife’s family drama may put a dampener on fun but if I can stay out of that & in the lake, all good!
@Hannibal it is beautifully made! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks! 😊
I am FINALLY going camping – for the first time since the Mesozoic Era, it seems – this weekend!
Is the car still packed?!?
I packed mine tonight. The other car is still packed. And my friend’s car is full of wood!
Oh…and the Blue Jays are on fire!
I spoke too soon.
Yeah I checked the box score earlier because I was like oh! we’re playing the Blue Jays!
And then I didn’t comment because it was 3-1 and let’s be real the Cardinals can easily fuck up a 2 run lead.
But ah, it’s not looking so good for the Jays currently.
Completely unrelated to scores, blue jays and cardinals are among my favorite birds.
There’s a cat sitting on my feet.
Can’t move – cat.
@MegMegMcGee cat foot is a blessing.
I love the newish dog Lillian.
Cute. Poodle/Bichon mix?
yes she is
Awww 🥰
@Elliecoo have the boys finally accepted her?
Yah, pretty much. They are a bonded pair (brothers, same litter) so she is odd-woman out.
She’s got you 🥰
I’ve still got a ton of farmer’s market tomatoes. I got there late on Saturday and grabbed a bucket to load in my bag and the vendor stopped me and said she wanted to give me a bunch more first. There’s always a boom or bust when you get to the market before closing — some stuff is long gone, but then sometimes the tomatoes overfloweth.
The faun that was seemingly abandoned under a tree in our front yard has reunited with her family after three long days of us worrying. Apparently, mom was coming every evening to check on her and she was eating and safe from predators so she was left alone. The faun might have hit the fence trying to jump it like the big kids, but when she finally bounded away with her peeps she seemed completely fine. The wife is sad to see her go, but that’s what kids eventually do.
