We are trying our hand at pickling...Refrigerator pickles...Seems easy...cucumbers, vinegar, garlic, dill seeds, peppercorns, salt...we will see.

Dinner...

Cucumber and tomato salad. Again!

Chicken thighs with onions, tomatoes and mushrooms, green beans and baked potato strips

We finally got a little bit of rain!  Gutter was clogged, so Gary is coaching me where to place the water hose to flush it out. It took me awhile but I got it...

Everything looks so fresh after a rain...

Gary helped me vacuum seal the pasteles  for Dom...love this little machine. I bought the vaccum sealer in hopes of freezing some tomato sauce from my garden.

Gary hung the deer antlers Chris gave me...

Today's haul...we plan on making some refrigerator pickles tomorrow...

Sister-in-law view today...

I delivered the five dozen pastelles Dom ordered.  They are made by my friend Ivan who works at Wards.  Dom says they are the best pastelles he has ever eaten...better than our Puerto Rican grandmothers made.

Fed Ex convention?

You don't normally see a Ice hockey stick in a vehicle in Florida.

As beautiful as Coral snakes are they are very deadly. Specially if you have dogs or little ones running around...my friend's view...

Dinner...

Steak Friday for Gary.

I got home late so leftovers for me. Sweet potato with split peas and cauliflower rice for me. 

The twin's view this morning...

Spare tires are sometimes hard to check their air pressure. This customer's low tire light was on and he didn't know to also check his spare.  Elvin showed him.

We are going to miss our little Elvis...Chris' companion for 17 years! Our first grand-dog!

TBT - one of my favorite photos...

As hot as it was today even the lizards stayed in the shade...

My camera is at the shop so I used my phone to take this photo...blurry but below is one giant woodpecker!

I'm still loving my sunflowers...
