It was a great day...57º

I started the day off, washing sheets, so they could line dry for the day...Rusty fixed breakfast, then worked outside while I prepped cucumbers to made fermented dills...We each filled a two quart jar, -(following a recipe), grape leaves in the bottom, then garlic, mustard seed, peppercorns and thai pepper, then half of the cukes and repeat the layer, ending with 2 more grape leaves to cover the top...A salt, vinegar, water brine was poured into the jar covering all...A homemade airlock lid then screwed on and now they ferment for several days.

Fermenting Dills

Rusty carried boxes of dills downstairs, and put them on cellar shelves, now we wait until Thanksgiving to sample them...We love filling the cellar.

Looking ahead at the weather, temperatures are getting into the 90's next week, so I mixed a batch of bread, preferring to bake while it is not so hot...I ended up with 3 loaves, 5 sandwich buns and 5 hard rolls, most are now in the freezer...Pam arrived with a huge head of Romain lettuce from Beckys' garden, so we made tuna sandwiches, Rusty poured wine and we visited the afternoon away.

To finish the day, fresh line dried sheets on the bed, I showered and called it a day...Hugs to All...OWAV:)
