Today is truly a day that I do not know what I want to talk about.  I didn't do much today.  I guess you can say I kind of took a day off.  Now yesterday, that was different.

I picked some  vegetables from our gardens and I  had a lot of tomatoes that a friend gave us including a bunch of cherry tomatoes.  From our gardens I had sweet banana peppers, eggplants and some blackberries.  The last time I harvested a bunch of the peppers I chopped them up and froze them.  This time I decided to roast them and then freeze them.  I also roasted the cherry tomatoes and froze them for future use in sauces and soups.

Ah Ha!  Whaddya have here?

Now comes the fun part.  We have a thieving, vegetable loving cat named Annabelle Lee.  We cannot leave any fresh vegetables on the counter or she will abscomb with them and chew them up.  This time I caught her in the act as I was taking pictures of my day's pickings.  She is obviously not afraid of me or she wouldn't have been doing this with me standing right there! 

Hmmm, now let's see what I want.

 As you can see in the photos she calmly approaches her target, scopes it out and makes her decision on what to take.  All this, of course while I am standing there with my camera.  All the while she thinks if she doesn't make eye contact with me, I won't see what she is doing.

Here it is.

Now you have to admit it, this is just down right cute.  She is one of our adoptees from the feral cat colony that lives in our area.  She was a baby when we brought her into our home along with her mother.  She has a unique personality.  She is very sweet and loving when it suits her, but if she is in "one of her moods" just leave her alone!  Well she is a female after all!



I'm out of here.

Needless to say I rescued the the errant tomato and put it up in our tomato safe place above the kitchen sink.  Afterward I spent the rest of the afternoon making six pints of peach butter. 


That is primarily the way my day went yesterday.  But, today was pretty much uneventual.  Except that I had my third horseback riding lesson today.   Even that went off without a hitch.  (Pun intended).

Have a good evening dear friends.  Until tomorrow.
