I was literally just saved by my sister's #dog Ollie. I was out taking a walk when a strange dog charged me very aggressively. Ollie saw what was happening, and violently defended me, chasing the other dog off, and then insisted on escorting me the rest of the way home.

Setting up my recovery station, and I appear to have solved the "how to read with one hand" problem. Gotta make sure I can see those letters from space.

I made delicious parsley pesto! I grew 5 of those monsters and originally thought it was way too much, but between my sister's amazing tabouli and the popularity of this pesto, I will 100% grow this again next year.

I love this. My friend has chickens, and they decided to help themselves to the pile. Next year I'm trying your method 😄

Just watched Knock At The Cabin. FANTASTIC movie, but I must say my favourite part was watching M. Night Shyamalan try to sell air fryers on TV lol.

I just watched Inside Out 2, where Anxiety makes an appearance, and I am feeling very called out right now.

My OCD tendencies wanted me to blend until everything was completely smooth and uniform, but getting teargassed in the kitchen told me this was a bad idea.
Chunky sauce it is then.

A big bowl of garden broccoli, and a pot of soon to be apple butter. I missed the boat harvesting apples this year. The horses wound up eating most of them before I got out there. I'll have to be more proactive next year lol.

I have a #plantedtank that was completely self maintaining until I made the error of over pruning the plants and throwing the balance of the #aquarium completely out of whack.
3 weeks later and the water is finally clear again. Now I'm working on weaning it back off the filter.

In addition to the bread, I also finished processing my hot peppers, and turned all my ripe tomatoes into sauce. I still have a giant pule of green tomatoes though, so maybe fried green tomatoes next??

I started the #fermentation process on the ripe #dragonsbreath and #habaneros but ran out of steam and will have to do all the green peppers later.

The pinto bean crop is meagre but beautiful. I hope to find more of them amongst the squash.
