Pictures and Complaining 08/30/2011
 This is a picture of SOME of the hopefuls wanting their own show. Some were working in restaurants, some were Chefs, some were housewives, some were firemen. This picture was taken later in the day. So most of these people were after my number which was 98. We each got about 2-3 minutes to impress the interviewers. Looks like another epic 'FAIL' for me. This last week was hard on me for the 'fails'. Whaaaa....I'm almost done now.  Here is my garden...the corn is past ready to pick. See how the stalks are drying up?  This shows my dying squash. Bugs or something.  My tomato plants have something wrong, too. Not all the plants, but a good portion of them do. The plant next to this sick one has a beauty tomato or two on it. In the next day or two I hope to be canning some of these tomatoes. Maybe make some tomato jam for BFF.  Here is my Swiss chard. It is alive and doing well. I will be having some for dinner tonight. I may even roast some beets. They are so delicious.  These are my potato plants. Looks like they are ready to dig up.  This is my tarragon plant. It has grown so much since I trimmed it back. It is even starting to flower out again. Guess I need to trim it back once more this year.  This is my guide for the seasons. It has flowered now, which means Fall is coming. It shows an ever so pale shade of lavender right now. The flowers will turn a darker color, then turn brown all the way to the dirt, and die off. I will cut off all the green you see now and then it will come back in the Spring. AND...I don't even know this plant's name. It is one of my favorite plants, though. A few words on the fair...it wasn't really fair. When I went in yesterday to pick up my jars, scorecards, ribbons and winnings (a total of 20 dollars), I noticed that the scorecard for the hot pepper relish had NO scoring at all. What is up with that? Did they forget? Did they accidentally pass it up? Was there something wrong with one of the jars? Another thing...my apple pie took second place. When I got the scorecard back the 'notes' said...Presentation perfect. Great flavor. Flaky crust. GREAT job! As my friend says..."Second place is the first loser". I guess I am NOW done complaining. I wonder what is in store for me? Where am I going? Should I renew my web-site and keep writing? I am in too deep to give up now. "Suck it up Girl! If you quit now...you will never know what is supposed to be yours." And..off I go again. Blessings! ******************************************************************************* 2 Comments |  ArchivesMay 2012 CategoriesAll |
