The Snow

Well it's official there is snow on the ground snow on the kale which is looking defeated going to have to gather up the last of it and see what we can do, the salad greens and chard under our home made greenhouse/frost protectors, are still looking well. little flakes of snow are still floating down onto the ground, our new cat is still unsure of the snow she was attacking it on the deck earlier which was pretty comical. We made Sweet Potato Biscuits yesterday, they were delicious, forgot to take pictures though so if we make them again I will be all over that.

You say tomato I say .....tomato

Well got to texting our Winter Friend, she was our neighbour 2 years ago, and a wicked neighbour she was and still is. We or I coined that term last night "Winter Friend" because in the summer we typicly don't see her, because both parties get pretty busy.

So to get back to the story. She got to texting both of us on Friday, and we found out she can't keep up with harvesting her toms and beans and everything, so we went over on Sunday, filled half a wheel barrow with tomatoes, that is like her 4th wheel barrow of tomatoes. When we got home I instantly got to peeling coring and canning the toms into Canned Crushed Tomatoes. We still have a grocery bag full, and probably do some more, and we also got 2 or 3 grocery bags of green and wax beans so I was going to take a stab at pickled beans.

There they are in all their glory
