I guess I am having canning withdrawls I’ve been looking at websites with canning recipes.
The garden is burnt up from the HOT weather and drought we’ve had; at least I thought so. I went up into the garden this morning and discovered that 3 of the cantalope plants are full of blooms and there are 2 little green cantalopes on the vine. Small wonders. I’m guessing it’s been the little bit of rains we’ve been getting this past week or so. I used my shovel and dug down to see how far down the ground was wet and it was about an inch.
Anyway, Judy at http://grandparentsplus2.wordpress.com/ wrote me and wanted a refrigerator pickle recipe. I’ve been remiss in getting to that; life getting in the way and all. I found this one today at Nina Corbett’s blog Put Up or Shut Up. Perhaps I’ll give it a try next year.

One more link to get you dreaming about canning also.
You can’t make just one of these. :O)

I over heard this at Mc Donalds the other morning.
1st Elderly Man: I have “sometimers”.
2nd Elderly Man: I have “whatever-timers”.
3rd Elderly Man: I have CRS.
2nd Elderly Man: What’s that?
3rd Elderly Man: Can’t remember sh_t.
2nd Elderly Man: Ha! I’ll have to remember that; if I can.
Thank you very much! My melons didn’t make it – I think they got too much water. Ying and Yang of gardening.
