It's A Constant!!!

 There is ALWAYS something to be done.

And often MORE than we have time for.

But we aren't any different than any

other farm family... August has a

way of doing that.

Check out the tomatoes!

The Romas are beautiful and HEAVY producers.

They are a "determinate" tomato, which means

there are a certain number of fruit and they all come

in at the same time.

Luckily they don't all ripen on the same day...

but once they are done, they are done.

They don't keep fruiting.

There's a LOT of them, though!

LOL.

(And that's probably only half... I have 2 or 3

two gallon ziplock bags in the freezer and

WAY more on the plants.)

The Okra is also coming in strong.

We have several bags cut in the freezer

and ready for us to enjoy over the winter.

Speaking of enjoying,

check out that beautiful flower!

I'm so in love with these orange / burgundy

okra. They are pretty, sweet and large.

We will be growing them again for sure!

And, of course, we are continuing the

moving in process.

Making our house a home.

Today we turned the living room,

put the TV under the window,

moved the piano into the living room area,

the island is still a mess... lol.

And there are still boxes, but WAAAAY less.

AND now we have TWO working

freeze dryers!

So exciting,

and good news because we have a LOT

of produce that needs to be freeze dried.

But now...

class is over, I'm going to go whip up

some alfredo and garlic bread.

And then get stuff organized for the

farmers market in the morning.

(And then I need to run into town

for a RS Activity - Bunco & Brownies.)

I've never played bunco, but they say

it is fun. And I have an order I need

to pick up from WalMart.

OK.

Night all!

Have a happy weekend!
