October 31st

Here's hoping for a safe and fun

holiday for everyone.

****************

Our growing season is winding down, but

the bell peppers are still going strong.

 I've dehydrated most of these.

Some, I cut up and freeze to use in cooking.

The red, yellow and dark purple ones

became my homemade paprika.

The rest will be combined with the other

 herbs and tomatoes for my herbal blend.

I dehydrated basil flowers to use in

basil salt and basil vinegar.

I had some eggplants that I dehydrated 

and then powdered to use as a veggie

enhancer in meat or stews.

Our Bay Laurel bush has given us

quite a bit of bay leaves too.

The CEO is currently working on

the raised beds for Broccoli, 

Cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.

He has a spot for beets, potatoes 

and carrots too.

It's nice to be able to eat what you grow!

😊

**************************

Is it me, or have many people 

died recently?

these are a few since September 14Th:

Bob Mackie - fashion designer

Peter Max - the psychedelic artist

Mike Ditka - NFL player and Saints coach

Walter Koenig - Star Trek actor, Chehov

Sir Patrick Stewart - actor Star Trek and many others

Tom Skerrit - actor Top Gun, Steel Magnolias

Eva Marie Saint - actress North By Northwest

I realize that they were older, but 

it also seems that they are going

so quickly.

We'll miss them all,

and are thankful for having

seen their work. 

🙏

Be thankful and grateful for this day!

P.S. Sorry for the short post, 

hopefully soon we'll have

more veggies to show!
