Zucchini

Well I guess we will see how Zucchini does canned. I have never tried this method with them, I usually just freeze them.

More Garden News

We now have several large watermelon about ready to be feasted on and the cantaloupe is beginning to show signs of lots of yummy treats on the way! We also have tomatoes ready to pick. I was beginning to think they would never ripen. The vines are FULL of green tomatoes. Guess we know what I will be canning next!!!

Beautiful Skies

I may be prejudice but I think Kentucky has the most beautiful skies I have ever seen!

Hummingbird

My little friends are back again this year. They are such pigs sometimes, but they sure like to fight over the feeder. Guess it’s time to get more feeders.

In Memory of Rena Kay Horton Schulz

Street Rod Nationals

While I did not get to go to the Street Rods National Event, I did have a chance to stop by a couple of hotel parking lots to catch a couple of shots. I do love these beautiful cars!

Chicago

Today I made my second trek to Chicago. It was a lot easier this time thanks to my Tom-Tom! I went for a friend’s graduation. We had a wonderful time and I thoroughly enjoyed the Chicago Style Pizza from Exchequers Pub…YUMMY!

Dill Pickles Anyone?

Today I tried my first attempt putting up Dill Pickles. We have cucumbers coming out of our ears now! I will have to let you know in a month how they came out. They have to sit and cure for a month in a cool, dark place…Guess that will be the basement…

The Girls Still Love Him...

Well at least the girls don’t mind getting close to our stinky boy. He really does not smell that bad. He has had more baths in the last couple days than all month. He smells a bit musty if he gets wet. That remedy I found on line worked really well.

Earthquake

Today my family in Southern California were shook a bit by an earthquake, but I am happy to say all is well. My Grandpuppy was quite scared but her mommy and daddy are doing a fine job pampering her tonight.

Garden

Our garden is exploding to the point I almost can not keep up with it. Yesterday I put up bread and butter pickles and tomorrow I will be putting up some dill pickles. The watermelon is looking great! Our corn was the sweetest I have ever tasted. I ate it raw right off the stalk!




My roses are doing great too! I have never had them get taller than me before. They are huge!

Dogs and Skunks! HELP!

Ok, we found out in the wee early morning that dogs and skunks just do not match. Our Buster Bleu STINKS! I have tried a remedy I found on line by searching for "how to get skunk odor off dog", to wash him first in 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water, followed by washing with 1/4 c baking soda, 1/4 c peroxide and 1/4 c dish soap mixed in a qt of warm water. I followed that with a bath in his normal shampoo. He is not dry yet, but he still has a bit of odor while he is wet. I about died when I wet him down to bathe him. It seemed to intensify the stench! I read that he may smell of skunk for up to two years every time he gets wet...UGH!!! Oh well, if anyone has experience in this problem, please post comments with your suggestions. I will try anything that might work if he still stinks after he dries.

Roarchestra

Tonight I saw Sha Na Na at the Louisville Zoo Roarchestra. DaisyMae enjoyed it too!

My Grandpuppy

My son and daughter in law adopted my Grandpuppy in May but I thought I would share some pictures of my little cutie. Her name is Lulu and she is a Maltese.
