Tomatoes are starting to play out.  I know Rick will miss blanching and canning tomatoes.  Yeah right.  Okra is booming but that's about it.  We have been blessed each year.  We need to focus on getting our house ready to sell so the garden ending sooner than expected is okay. 

Two more tops are done.  Both are string tops.  I just can't throw away those scraps.  Look at how beautiful they can be.   I just hate waste.   

The tub is starting to get full.  I hope to work on these while I'm off work after surgery.  I actually have a lot of expectations for that time but know I won't get to realize half of my dreams.  It will be nice to stay at home if only briefly.  I didn't get to do much of that when my kids were little.  Now they are grown and I get to stay home.  It may get to be a little lonely.

I'm watching Kitchen Cousins right now and want to strangle them for tearing up decent cabinets. They are out of date but nothing wrong with them. Lots of people would love to have them.........Same thing with Food Network.  Wasted food is so tragic.  We may not have starving people in this country but we do have people who don't get to eat "well".  Okay, I'll get off my soap box. 

I had some old pie crusts so I tried fig pies.  Next time I'll make my dough from scratch.  Rick deemed them edible so I won't throw them away. 

Hope you had a good 4th. Remember to live, love, and laugh.
