Up this morning to an unexpected calm morning after an unexpected calm overnight. We were predicted to get some of hurricane Laura's wrath overnight and into early this morning but the sun is shining this morning and there is only .4 inch of rain in the gauge from overnight with no wind or evidence of overnight wind so we are lucky and thankful. I got chores done while hubbie was helping #1 son gather the tools to install our automatic gate down on the road. We have had so much trouble with people driving up our private drive over the last several weeks we are all ready for this to be in place. It took much longer than I expected and a trip to the parts store but we finally finished up and it is really pretty and works great.
A couple hours later I had 7 more quarts of tomatoes to add to the winter pantry.
The picking hubbie did yesterday is significantly less than we have been getting due to a blight that our tomato plants have now probably because of all the rain and even with hubbie diligently spraying the rains have really hurt the ripening process before the plants are totally dead.
Think I will slow roast some of these next week and freeze them.
We got chores done and then picked green beans for lunch tomorrow as our beans seem to be doing great even this late in the season. We sat out in the covered patio and broke the beans then came inside and I made a broccoli salad for lunch tomorrow before we put a roast in the crockpot and headed for bed.
Thankful for the blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night
