Here it is the 10 th of October and we had snow 2 days ago. Gardening is over for this year. I did manage to pot up some chives, a garlic ( for cut greens for my dishes over the winter) and a couple of walking onions. I also have a nice parsley plant that I brought in. They are all sitting on the window sill in the kitchen, the only good window in the house for growing plants.
We had a good harvest and many tomatoes, although it seemed they just did not want to ripen. I have lots in the back room just taking their time. Tina brought me several plants this year and they turned out to be yellow tomatoes. I only had 2 plants of red cobra tomatoes, and one heritage tomatoe that turned out red and green stripped! Most unsual looking.
Monday October 12 is our Canadian Thanksgiving. We will make our Turkey dinner on Sunday the 11th. I already have the Turkey out thawing, and I will cook potatoes ( mashed), and make dressing, gravy, cooked carrots ( from the garden as well as the potatoes),Cranberry sauce ( done with a little orange juice), and Coleslaw. We will not have desert. It will just be the two of us for supper, and I know us, we will both be stuffed with turkey and dressing! LOL.
There will be lots of trukey left for my favorite, Turkey sandwiches, then soup and casseroles. Should be just lovely.
Now summer is past, I should be back blogging a little more.
Come the 24th of October I am going to go to visit my friend Gloria, it has been years since we saw each other. We will get to visit from the 24th till the 28th. of the month. Then I will head home and she will head to her home in Victoria. I am looking forward to catching up with all her news and family.
Now I'm off to help bring in the wood to stack it up under the car port. It was all cut up and now needs stacking, we still have over 1/2 to split and that will be done next week, till then we will stack what's ready.
It is nice to have the wood heat in our colder than usual fall. We have had to have the fire going since September.
Oh, yes, I almost forgot to mention. Ron got an Elk, second day of hunting season. We have enjoyed some nice Elk meat he gave us. Ken is still looking. He hasn't gotten anything yet, but We are still hopeing he will.
