Happy Wednesday everyone...big celebration of WOYWW year 8 was awesome last week. I am working on ATC today and will hopefully get them sent out by the end of the week! What is WOYWW? Check it out on Julia's blog...
Not a lot going on on my desk...it is a mess at best again today! It seems like I just manage to shuffle things around on good days...Needs to be reshuffled so I can find space to work!
I have been sorting through some boxes and have come across a lot of interesting stuff...some too good to throw away and some that I wonder why I have held on to it! 2 boxes of stuff is on its way to a new home!
The garden it going great guns. I will try to get out this afternoon and take some pictures. Chuck picked some more Chard and we processed it this morning so I guess that is my active desk... Tried a new way of processing the chard...in plastic bags in the microwave instead of boiling/blanching the leaves. Seems to have worked and a lot less messy!
Chuck chopped up some onions, garlic, and chard stems and tossed in on the greens I had processed. The greens have stayed so bright. I wonder if they retained more nutrients in this process? I hope it works and they stay well in the freezer.
I chopped up all the stems into bite size pieces and plan on using them for soups and stews this fall. Chuck planted a colorful type of chard this year...I am seeing a journal page in my future using this picture as inspiration!
I love love the color, contrast, and texture in this photo....
Okay that is it for me! I will try and make it around to a few groups when I get back from another appointment this afternoon. I went to the neurosurgeon and he says there is no question of if I need surgery on my spine or not but when I am willing to lay down and let him do it. Hmmm....that is going to take some long hard thinking! Anyone had a decompression laminectomy and spinal fusion done?
