Ahhh, what a busy and dismal afternoon for many of you. Death is amongst us, apparently. Holding positive thoughts for all of you and your friends.

However, M5's kitten made a great kill! Wonder if Samson did?

I have to open and re-cook one batch of peach melba from this morning as it has no intentions of jelling. I'm using a slow cook method that has no pectin. The rest are fine so maybe I didn't measure the sugar correctly. Still have 4 more additional runs to make in the next 2 days, for a total of 40-42 half-pint jars.

I haven't heard my pickles "burp" for a couple of days and cannot open them before Friday. I will either have pickles or a disaster, LOL.

Drove 35 miles each way to Lowe's to get some EMT tubing (the metal tubing for electric wires) and plan on getting started tomorrow on some wall-hung rods like I had before for my pots and pans in the kitchen. See the idea here in the photo, behind the Baker's Rack. I will leave the cupboards for my sister's stuff, not that she cooks much. Maybe that will change!

Sarv, I'm pretty sure her hours have been cut as she sounded very upset. She's not good at faking much.

Maybe after the grass has grown 2+ feet tall, I can get someone to cut and bale it!
