Good Morning, All! Hope you are all doing well today, especially any members in the Atlanta area - stay safe out there!!
An unexpected rain shower very early this morning put paid to my plans to till the garden this morning; I had planned to till in between the rows and then hoe around the plants and get mulch down around the tomatoes and peppers. I am hopeful that I will be able to get it done either later this afternoon/evening or tomorrow morning. I have to go in to work early tomorrow for some mandated education - had to stay over 3 hours on Friday for the same thing. Wish they'd do this stuff in the winter when there is nothing I need to do outside - 'course then I'd probably grumble about having to drive in winter weather
I found another stash of canning jars in the shed - these were hidden behind some building materials. They are all quarts or half gallons, which I don't need right now, so I'm going to try to find some more apple crates and get them moved into the storeroom in the shed. I'm not even going to take the time to wash them up as they will just get dusty again, so it shouldn't take too long - unless I have to move more stuff to find the crates... I've got all the regular mouth pints in the house (as far as I know); still have a few wide mouth pints in the shed but those will be coming in to go through the dishwasher as soon as I round up some boxes to put them in - guess that means I need to take a trip up to the Amish store the next time I get a three day break that doesn't cover a weekend. Either that, or bite the dust and order some boxes from Uline - they have them in canning jar sizes, just no dividers.
We keep going through the various pantries - I'm finding jelly/jam from 2011 that I am feeding to the orioles which makes me a little sad. I can't seem to convince Hubby not to just shove things in willy-nilly, nor can I convince him not to put new items in front of old. Rows, dang it; put stuff in ROWS!! I need to find me an OC but minimal D teenager to come over and organize things Seems that when I have the time, I don't have the energy; and vice-versa!
And speaking of time and energy, I reckon I should get off the computer and go get some laundry started...
Take care all; stay safe!
