Some days I’m never quite sure where the time went. I managed to get a walk in this morning before it rained. Then during the day I worked on a big batch of chili (cooked in two pots but combined into one of the canning pots before dividing it up). So I’ve got 11 servings almost frozen (pop them out in the morning) and will put in another seven. The pool guy came just before lunch and decided which return is leaking, although we’ve decided to leave the repair until the fall when he closes the pool. It will require a piece of the concrete being cut out, so that will likely have to be dealt with in the spring. And managed to get my workout in and a quick swim before it poured again.

The good thing is that we’re not supposed to get rain for almost a week, although who knows, that may change. The boysenberries are starting to ripen, I’d say that the first few will be ready in a day or so. The raspberries are starting to fill out, probably a week for them. Everything in the garden looks pretty good. Oh yes, and the zucchini plants started to bloom today. I should have taken a picture because yesterday nothing, today big open blooms, that don’t stay open for even half of the day.
