Checking the list...43º

Working on the list of fall chores, Herb was able to cross off wood...He brought the last load from the log deck yesterday and will unload and stack today or tomorrow...Too bad for me that canning was not on the list, it was in addition to...Anyway it is a good job done...My friend Jane always had a list and if she did something that wasn't on the list she added it and checked it off...I like that idea.

All told we have 30 jars of canned meat in the cellar, 24 sausage patties and 10 pound packages of ground meat in the freezer, all the mess is cleaned up, equipment is put away until "Thanksmas" when the kids will be home and a tuna canning frenzy takes place...In our spare time, garlic is being peeled, sliced and placed on the dryer and that job will soon be marked off the list...I must finish garden cleanup in the next few days.

Herb has started watering the lawn and is due for a haircut this morning...I have tomatoes to sort and possibly start roasting...We had yummy tomato, bacon, cucumber, onion sandwiches on homemade buns for dinner yesterday...Ribs are seasoned and ready to go on the grill today...Sun is shining, breeze is cold, snow on the mountain tops...Life is good...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Yesterdays sandwich

Mixed a small batch of bread for buns,

while watching the pressure cooker.

and had enough for a 10" pizza crust.
