Field Notes- Saturday, August 20th. Sunshine. mid 80's, grass cutting.


 August isn't my favorite month.  It's just a month I have to get thru....work my way thru.  I don't fully remember WHEN I was doing the majority of the pickle making and canning...it might have been August. Most likely was....I used to grow TONS of zucchini.  This year...the plants gave out so I didn't have much to work with.  I have one giant one that is going to be used to make Chocolate Zucchini Bread.

I found a recipe on line.  Has Espresso powder in it.  I have some of that.

I do know the grapes are still green so it isn't jelly making month.

I think the Peaches under the microwave cover have been gassing each other and might not be totally ripe but they are far enough along to be peeled, pitted and sliced into a nice Peach Cobbler.  (thinking of you Connie).  I checked the recipe card- I have everything I need.  A trip to the grocery isn't something I want to do today.

We watched some of the Patriots Pre Season Game last evening.  The junior quarterback was doing a really great job- most likely because it's an all new game plan and he didn't know any of the other plans. Every one else was having a tough time figuring out what was going on........ Patriots are going to be losing quite often this season.

I did an additional load of wash yesterday.  Husband's garden weeding clothing.  He came in yesterday and told me he had fallen asleep in the garden..........good thing I didn't walk down there to check on him- would have assumed he was dead.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Peaches, sautéed, with blue cheese or Gorgonzola, sprinkle of granola and a squeeze of honey! Had it for dinner last night

The Patriots aren't my team, as you know, but football sounds pretty good about now.
