That was me last year. No rain today, just got a misting.

and someone wouldn't turn the sprinkler off up here last year

No rain here since I think APRIL? But that’s normal here.

I actually saw sunshine yesterday. Everything still so wet and muddy that I cooked yesterday and watched a movie. Dogs have been eating well. The refrigerator freezer thawed out after hurricane power outage. I let it refreeze and have been thawing out yummies for dogs. Yesterday I made big pot of 2 smoked steaks, cubed, sliced carrots, green peas, 4 eggs, and I made a pou of rice to mix in it. They get a cup of yummy over their kibble. I made for myself a chuck roast with carrots in the crock pot.

I need to cook/can a few pints of tomatoes from garden. 2nd 12 trays of figs in dehydrator should be done today. Have worked jobs past 5 days, enough to be in OT. Rainy/wet stopped outside farm work, so went to work for $. comes in handy. Sure slept well last night! . I've earned my morning coffee.

Yard needs mowing -- too wet now. Probably take it easy today....back to work Tue- Thur. This will be a day off. I'll muddle along with small stuff. Tomorrow farm work day.

Used up 12# of tomatoes yesterday - 5 pints and one 1/2 pint of bbq sauce canned. I forgot how long it takes for that, peeling the tomatoes and then cooking it down to half - hours. Thank God I’ve got the digital canner .
Trying to get the ranch in order for the sitter - head out in a few days for a wedding in CO, then will be gone for a few days after that. The ranch sitter is new to the dogs (will have been with them 3 times before we head out). Nervous nelly here - of course it’s fire season then add in that I’m pretty sure Ree is preggers - she’s not eating with the normal gusto esp her breakfast (yes dogs do get morning sickness). Ultrasound for her the day after I get back. With the damn new USDA import rules on dogs (absolutely NO pups under the age of 6 mos - NO EXCEPTIONS) this litter is pretty important.

@SageHill i use an old strainer to separate seeds and skins from tomatoes. I love my old strainer, wouldn’t take a hundred dollars for it, but they can be found fairly cheap.

Old Tomato/Berry Strainer

I hauled out my old tomato/berry strainer yesterday to remove seeds from some roma tomatoes I was given. I cooked them on low heat for a bit, along with some cherry tomatoes I grew, then poured them in the strainer. I froze the juice for now, until I get the 2nd round of squash to go in soup...

Ree may be pregnant? That is so exciting! I hope everything goes smoothly and she has a healthy litter of puppies!

Up a long time ago, coffee time done. Walked to field of goats to get pics of a buck. Inquiry from prev customer, so considered one I could sell. Anyway, on way out there trudging thru the barnyard grasses -- wet

The goats had some short stuff to lay down

And beyond, grass to eat! And mow!

Yeah, we've had RAIN and sunshine. Things are butt deep to a tall giraffe!

I’ll have to look into that type of strainer. I admit I did cheat a little and left the seeds in, but I did use the Vitamix to pulverize it!

I often just pulverize seed and skin don't tell.
