The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

You pour my coffee when the Sun comes up and I pour your tea when the Sun sets below the horizon. Like I told him a few days ago, this has been the best summer and I feel like I soaked up every moment of it. If we weren't working hard in the garden we were exploring, trying new things, hiking, spending time with friends, and even doing some remodeling projects.

Last trip of the year is happening next week and then we bear down for the Halloween season.

I like how this time of year is busy. The festivals are mostly over so now I'm working in the studio or out in the garden. This year really paid off for us, especially with out collection of peppers. We chose to plant our peppers much closer than what is often recommended and it was exactly what they needed to thrive. With them packed together they can support each other as they grow and then they provide their fruit shade so it doesn't get sun scalded. We lost ONE pepper to sun scalding as opposed to all the damaged ones we had last year.

That change alone gave us an opportunity to leave the produce on the plant longer for ripening which led to delicious, sweet, and juicy red bell peppers. Dozens. We also had a fantastic year for our other peppers following the same technique. I've canned over a dozen jars of a hot pepper relish that includes our onions and some other non-spicy peppers.

Today could be a rest day if it starts raining, my shoulders wouldn't mind that. Yesterday we hauled mulch from where it was dumped in the driveway to our mulch pile out back. It's 500x easier than moving soil but what can I expect, I'm out of shape. So I'm sore now.

The last camping trip of the year is coming up. I'm looking forward to enjoying the foliage.

Do I see stuffed bell peppers in your future dinner plans? I do love a good bell pepper, I would bet money that yours are much better than the store bought!

I opened my eyes this morning, dreams scattering to the wind as the morning finds me and I am awake. My husband leans over me and gently touches me, whispering intently "You missed a great comeback."


Now, half asleep, all my brain can come up with is sexual innuendo. Like, you were going to do WHAT and I fell asleep?

No, not that. I get it now.

Go Bills.
