It’s been another quiet but productive week on our hill.
I’ve enjoyed walking in the garden each morning and though we’ve planted very few snow peas, we’ve managed to have several meals of them and I’ve put 2 quarts in the freezer for future cooking. Since the weather is remaining cool in the evenings, I suspect there may be another quart of two to freeze before the season ends.

The tomato plants are thriving. They have loved the weekly heavy rains and we’ve fed them with organic, rich soil from our compost pile. They are happy plants and have begun gifting us with baby tomatoes. My mouth is already watering thinking of the flavor the ripe beauties will have. I hope the production is large enough so I might can some but I do plan to purchase more to restock the pantry with home canned tomatoes. As long as our 
weekly rains continue, tomatoes should be plentiful in our area.
I’ve also done more sewing this week. Not surprising, I’ve made another shirt for Jacob. He likes the green seersucker shirt so much, I decided he needs a blue one. I rounded the collar a bit and made both sides of the collar stand a matching solid blue. I’m proud of how it turned out.
The next shirt I plan to make will be a white with red pinstripes long sleeve dress shirt. I’m not fond of making long sleeves because of the cuffs and sleeve plackets but after making one shirt, I’ll be cured of that dread. It’s all a matter of one stitch after another…. nothing more.
I wish for everyone a happy and safe Memorial holiday weekend. We have no special plans but our days will be filled with activities we love. Have a fun one!
