Garden Notes
I pulled the peppers and tomatoes out today. We’ve had frost locally, but the driveway is such a sheltered micro climate that it hasn’t touched those yet. So they’ve still been ripening, even if the plants aren’t looking the best because they have been feeling the cold. We’ve got something in the works that is

I’ve decided to make this the socks for Moms Christmas. Made a pair for my mother, so I’m moving on to my MIL. This is Joshaqan by Hunter Hammersen. I’m using Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino in a nice autumny mixed colorway.

Canning Notes
My mother had a bumper crop of raspberries earlier this summer. She had so many I told her I’d take as many as she could freeze for me. I knew I wouldn’t be able to do anything with them then, but figured September would probably be better. And I managed jam. The smell was heavenly.
Garden Notes
The garden’s definitely on the wane. I pulled out the cucumbers yesterday – they were not looking good. I will say, they were fantastically prolific. One vine would have been plenty for us. I left the peppers and tomatoes. There are a few more fruits on there that still might ripen. We haven’t actually had
