2) We were generously given some peafowl last week. One peacock(who seems to have vacated the premises) and a peahen with a few peachicks. I like them. A lot.
3) The weather here has been very fall-ish and lovely. Cool rainy days that smell sooo good and lovely crisp sunny days, too.
4) I love closing up my chicken coop after dark when it's rainy because the night crawlers are all out doing their night crawler thing. I just walk around pointing my flashlight at the ground and watching them vwoop back into their holes.
5) My sweet Mattie dog was bitten by a rattlesnake last weekend. She was very swollen and sad, but is much improved now, thank heavens.
6) I am ready for some football!
7) Campfires are good for the soul. A few s'mores don't hurt, either.

ReplyDeleteAnd do you have a good peach jam recipe you would be willing to share? I made some a few weeks ago, but didn't love it as much as I'd hoped to...

I am so glad your pup is okay! Were you there when she was bitten? Do you have a lot of rattle snakes around your place?
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I did peaches together last year... jams, preserves, and just plain canning, but I regret I haven't done any this year. I am hoping there is still time.
My neighbors used to have peacocks... they used to startle me because we have a glass front door and I would walk out in the morning and they would be peering in, beak pressed to the glass. I don't know what happened to them... last I heard they were about two miles away in a neighborhood and making themselves quite at home.
And now, speaking of closing up chickens, I must go check on the littles that got moved out earlier this week. They are doing well, but I am still paranoid!
Oh, and I was going to say... if you don't have a recipe for jam I made Gingered Peach Preserves last year which I enjoyed...http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/1237/Gingered-Peach-Preserves95661.shtml. Anyhow, happy canning!
ReplyDeleteKacey, I love you! And can't wait for your visit.
ReplyDeleteShell, I've never made peach anything, but I'm going to check out Heather's link for preserves. I'll post if I make something yummy with them!
