When I was busy doing other things, August went by in a blink.
That's how it seems, anyway.
The garden bounty is starting to come in. Check out these tomatoes!
I've been busy with canning and fermenting.
My fellow flosstubers were keeping me company while I was making sauerkraut and fermenting radishes. If you haven't had fermented radishes, I encourage you to give them a try. They are so good for your gut health.
I've also done some dehydrating.
This past weekend I was able to participate in a zoom yarn circle hosted by the two women in the Yarn Over With Us Podcast. It was so much fun! I wasn't able to participate as much as I'd like because I was busy making salsa. I had so much fun sharing what I was doing and showing off my progress.
Yup, I'm the queen of multitasking, or some such thing. But look at that salsa!
I pulled some salsa out to check the heat level, before adding the cilantro. My husband tasted it and deemed it the perfect amount of heat. Yay!
I probably haven't spent as much time out in the garden as I should.
The tomato plants are still growing and producing.
The marigolds are in their prime.
I've been working on a garden video. I'm hopeful to get it out by the end of the weekend.
What else ...
Last week I had a work trip. I attended a meeting. Mostly to observe, but I did end up speaking for a few minutes.
It rained after I made it to the destination.
I think we are pretty much ready for hunting season. I picked out yarn for vanilla socks to work on while I'm out in the blind.
I may have already started that pair of socks ... *whistles and looking innocent*
And then I broke into my snacks. ... I'm probably going to have to get more snacks for when I'm sitting out. Darn me for having such tasty snacks.It's still pretty green out there in the back 20.
The first signs of fall are here.
I've been crafting in between the things. Not as much as I would like, of course, but enough that I feel progress on some things.
One morning, before I started doing the weekend things, I crocheted on one of my Maeve Squares while watching an episode of Kinda Loopy.
I did a cross stitch birthday stitch along with my friend Mair, and stitched "Picking Strawberries" by LumiStitch.
All done!
I'll post the stats in the shownotes of my next flosstube.
I'm back in PT. For a short amount of time. I hope. *fingers crossed*
In my last flosstube I mentioned going back to PT and trying a few new things to see if any of it helps what I'm dealing with. I'm seeing some improvement.
I thought I'd never see this tapestry again. It gives me something to stare at in the waiting room, if I don't bring my knitting.
So I guess that's brings everyone up to speed. Works been busy-ish. Life is busy-ish, while we do the things. Oh, I just realized I forgot to write any kind of update of the garage remodel. I'll save that for another day. It is super close to being done.
Oh, one last thing. Last week a friend contacted me and asked for my address. I thought she was sending me one thing, and she did send what she said she would. BUUUUUUUTTTTT, she also included something else.
Oh my gosh, isn't she precious?
I knew right away where I'd put her. Next to Furby Jr., of course.
Furby Jr. is thrilled to have another hen in the house. She's got a friend to have girl talk with. Furby's Boyfriend looks like he's not sure what to make of having another hen in the house. Or, he's getting ideas in his little pea brain. 😂
The new girl has a name, too. Everyone, meet Miss Wendy.
