Yesterday, I had another article printed in our local paper...The Antelope Valley Press. It is in the Aug. 26th Lifestyle magazine...page 9. I have to say, I might be getting the hang of this writing thing.
In fact...I have been asked to write another article for the Littlerock newspaper. I hope to get that done this weekend. As long as I don't have anymore problems.
As for today...I got up before the crack of dawn, and went and picked veggies again at 'the bee garden'. I wanted to get in and out before they woke up and decided to be nasty. The last time was enough for me.
Speaking of problems, the air conditioner froze up. The Lad called a repairman and he
said it was because of a dirty filter. I change them about every five weeks. I thought I was changing them enough. I guess it is not enough in the desert.
I spent several hours trying to fix it myself. I had done it before. It just takes some time for the ice to melt. In 107 degree heat, not that much time.
Besides all the air conditioner stuff, I have been cooking a lot too. I made zucchini bread and some bran muffins with carrots and raisins. Also, started making watermelon pickles. Tomorrow, I will be making stewed tomatoes, salsa, and hopefully some bread and butter pickles. I guess it depends on what happens tomorrow.
I just had a friend call me and say they were having Crisco on sale...for 59 cents for 48 ounces. She brought me 4 cans, I gave her a pint of pickles and some zucchini bread. We were both happy. Ain't life grand?!?!
