Good 52º RAINING morning! Started in the night. So far 11/100th's of an inch. How soothing it was to hear.
I had some sad news, an old dear friend, Ronnie Lancaster, passed away peacefully just after 6pm yesterday. He had battled cancer. Ronnie and my Jerry and Steve Voors had been roommates at one time. Ron worked with them at Temple Station, then he went to Vice and retired from Homicide. RIP Ronnie! Now you and Jerry can resume your story swapping!
Here was the afternoon sky ....
I stayed busy in the kitchen again, canning green tomato pickles... this is my uncle Lloyd's recipe. You don't water bath them, they stay crunchy. Cut and put into jars, I added chipotle peppers .. garlic cloves .. jalapeños .. lemon zest .. and celery seed. You boil the vinegar, salt, and water and then fill the jars and put on the lids. They seal without any more heat....
Now, today I'll figure out what to do with the red tomatoes.
Birdies were loaded on the feeders yesterday. Storm was rolling in and it was very windy... they were preparing...
