Been a slower week. I'm in the process right now of making crockpot apple sauce. Our fruit this year has been awful so like the peaches, I'm having to cut around the bad spots and salvage what I can. Our granny Smith apples have been dropping and they aren't near ripe enough but good enough for apple sauce. We didn't have apples last year so haven't had any homemade apple sauce in several months now.
I did manage to make it around the place to take some photos. Our clematis have bloomed all summer. These white ones are the last of the blooms.
I know I'm probably supposed to deadhead them as they finish blooming but I just can't. They leave behind the cutest whirls so I leave them for just the fun designs they make.
I think I may need to remove the back of my pink commode planter. Water got into it last winter and it cracked it.
It's the middle one and you can't really see the back but it is completely broken out. The green in front is an old wheelbarrow. The green stuff is a type of succulent moss and the last commode has creeping Jenny which is now covering the ground everywhere around them.
Our cantaloupe vines have 5 baby cantaloupes and are taking over the place.
Even up my metal garden pointing hand.
Our yard dogs are really getting old now....think maybe about 13 years old. They were rescue dogs. Lulu is in front and Freddy behind.
And of course our house dog .....think there must be something backwards about our yard and house dogs. Shouldn't the big dog stay outside????
Kinzey has gotten about as big as she is going to get but at 80lbs she is almost too big for us to handle. She does well at following some commands but is so hyper that she forgets the main one of jumping up on us. She has knocked me down a couple of times. She doesn't realize her strength and just bulldozes you down. But she can do "come", "sit", "lay down" and does well on her halter leash.
My "Naked Lady" lilies have been blooming though not as spectacular as usual.
The week I made peach jam, Sonny processed some pork and venison into sausage.
It is so much healthier with very little grease. And he doesn't over spice it.
I also have made a great no bake peanut butter pie. I took to pot luck at church and there wasn't a crumb left.
It is fairly easy to make and since I don't use recipe amounts it is hard to explain how it is made. But basically it is a box of instant vanilla pudding, 4oz. of cream cheese (half a bar) or more and 1 cup milk beaten together and then beat in about 3/4c. peanut butter. We like chunky style. Once that is all beaten, I had about a half small container of cool whip topping. I pour all that into a graham cracker pie shell and then squirt Hersheys chocolate syrup over the top and then top with other half of cool whip topping. Put in refrigerator to set up. Sonny is crazy about them and no heating the house up with the oven.
Well that's all folks...and as always....
