Hello
Well I am finishing up the day doing something I did not even think about this morning. On my way back from the Farmers Cooperative I stopped at my local farm stand to get some corn. The farmer stopped to talk and I asked him if I could have a box of tomatoes tomorrow. Well they had them today.
They are all medium tomatoes and are just ripe for making sauce. I make my sauce in the crock pot. It takes about 4 hours to cook and meld all the flavors together. I used about 25 tomatoes and put them into boiling water for about 3 minutes and then into cold water. After taking off the skins I cut them into quarters and put them into the pot. I cut up some onions, peppers and garlic, sautéed them with fresh picked basil, oregano, fresh bay , fresh rosemary and a good olive oil. 
This then
went into the pot. After this is done I will add a small amount of sugar to cut the acid and put them into freezer containers. In the winter I will use them in soups, spaghetti sauces. goulash and many more things. I found this to be an easy way to get the job done and you are not standing over a hot stove for most of the day.
THE HENS
No news on the hatching front. Soon I hope.
This is a rug I crocheted in FLorida last winter. It’s a small rug that I now use in front of my back door. Its probably 3 feet by 2 feet. It is made from old torn sheets, nightgowns and other clothes. There is a single sheet and a full size sheet in this plus the clothes. It didn’t take long to make and will last a long time a second use for the clothing and sheets that are in it. I do love recycling like this.
GOOD DAY TO YOU
