SO MUCH ZUCCHINI!

 The zucchini is slowing down.

(Thank goodness!)

This morning Rod and I drove south about

2 hours to Garden City to meet with 

his new eye doctor.

(He is really nice and a State Senator...)

It was a good visit.

They did a really thorough exam and said

his left eye looked very healthy and

considering the multiple surgeries,

his right eye was better looking than he

had expected.

So that's always good.

And then we headed to Mennards.

The BIGGEST "Lowes / Home Depot" store

you could ever hope to find.

We saved $40 on a new stainless steel

kitchen sink and about $60 on a new

reverse osmosis (water filter) system

for under the sink.

That was REALLY good news!

(We also picked up some new retractable

dog leashes because Luna the Rottweiler

has slowly destroyed them all...)

And then we headed 2 blocks away to Sams

to pick up the stuff we can only get

there... it's always fun to do a 

Sams run, and see what's new.

(Not that we buy any of it... lol.)

And then to the Burger King drive-thru

to grab a burger and head back north.

(Since I need to teach tonight.)

MEANWHILE.

While we were gone, Kyle cubed a

basket (or two) of zucchini and got

it into the freezer for over the winter.

He did a total of 8 freezer bags,

and wrote all the numbers on the white board.

33 pounds of zucchini!!!!

We estimate we harvested between 

250 and 300 pounds this year.

I think we can dial back a bit next year.........
