Sweet Pickles Galore

It didn't occur to me while I was bidding on boxes and boxes of cucumbers to turn into pickles for the year that I exist in a perpetual time crunch.

Tonight, however, with lots of help from the Minions, I got a box sliced and soaking in lime water.
This is the first time I tried pickles with the lime.

My goal for the second box tomorrow is sweet relish.

All Alone at the Amish Auction

Actually, I wasn't all alone, I had Katie with me, but I wanted more alliteration in my title.

Usually I let Dan do the bidding when we go to the produce auction, but since I wanted tomatoes and cucumbers right now, I had to take the plunge and bid on my own.

Here are enough pickles for my whole extended family. I hope to score some green beans and also some reasonable (cheap) tomatoes to put up. They were going high today so I skipped them.

At least flowers were cheap.

Kitchen Chicken

The weather took a turn for the perfect, so we opened the sliding glass door to the deck, the screen of which is torn up by kitties.
I soon heard Katie exclaim, "Get out, Sabrina! You're not an indoor chicken!"

My, What Big Ears You Have!

Don't Worry, Be Happy!

Here's a happy smiling pig loafing under a tractor to make you smile along with him.

I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat

Bonnie-cat is wondering why nobody on the farm tries to eat this particular varmint.

Old is Good!

My best friend Elaine, at Heaven Scent Farms, gave this antique butter mold as a gift on the occasion of Penny's arrival at the farm.

Using a handcrafted tool given by my oldest friend made today's chore feel more meaningful.
