It's been more than a month since my last post. My garden is doing well. I've got plenty of tomatoes, hot peppers and carrots. My broccoli is finally starting to produce. It's rained some in the past week and them temperatures have finally dropped into the 70s and 80s an my garden is thriving because of it.
It is so amazing to see the change in the garden the few hours after a natural rain, opposed to a watering from the sprinkler.
I've been getting fresh foods from the market and out of my parents garden and canning, freezing and dehydrating to my heart's content. I have some tomato sauce, dried tomatoes, frozen and dried potatoes, frozen corn.
I can't say that I dread winter as much as usual knowing I won't have to buy commercially packaged foods.
Outside of the garden in the last month, I've traveled to Michigan for vacation, been working a lot and creating a ton of content there, which is why I haven't felt inspired to write here, and have been preparing for an after school program I will be teaching. It has been a great summer. It is just going by so fast.
Oh, and I've been quilting and putting together other projects, like this one. It's a tea bag wallet. I exchanged it via swap-bot and use the one I received to hold tea bags in my desk at work. I love it, because if I thought it in my bag, my tea bags don't get all ratty or rip open.
I've almost finished my "Seeing Squares" quilt. I've been working on that project in my spare time for months. I also put together this bag for bag. It's for filling with grocery sacks so that they can be reused. Nifty huh?
