Happy Labor Day!
Our August weather finally turned into normal August weather. We've had our share of normal Missouri summer heat now. He finally got the wasps nest torn off of the license plate. After 2 more cans of wasp spray. We did have to get some Hot Shot spray.
He harvested Sugar Baby watermelons, some of which we put down in the storm shelter for winter. He harvested pineapple melons. They are sort of like a cross between a cantaloupe and a honeydew melon. He doesn't like them, but I do. We've passed several of them out too.
We dehydrated an Excalibur full of cucumber slices, then powdered them in the blender to use in dips and soups. I made some cucumber dill dip with the powdered cucumber and some dry dill that turned out pretty good. We did get enough tomatoes to run a canner load of pint jars of tomato juice and sauce. He's brought me enough tomatoes that I could probably do another canner load of juice and sauce.
My mother is flying in on Thursday for a nice visit. She hasn't seen the new house yet. We're really looking forward to seeing her. She'll be here almost the whole month of September, so we're excited about that.
We made a trip to Baker's Creek yesterday. They had their monthly festival. He bought about $20 worth of seeds for fall planting, greenhouse planting, and some for spring. He's still been working on projects, including installing the front screen door.
Hopefully, the heat will mellow out pretty soon and we can have some nice fall weather.
