Oh, my. Who knew??? Un-intended consequences, but I'm glad to know the originals found good use.
I took some stuff to the recycling drop-off center earlier, then made a few stops. It keeps looking like it will rain any minute. Probably as soon as I go back out.
My black raspberries are starting to go from pink to dark red, but they're not quite ready yet. They need few more days. I checked with my doctor, and he said it's okay for me to eat the berries, in spite of the diverticulosis. Yippee.
And in case there are too many to eat, I resurrected my old Donvier icecream freezer thing from the basement. Everything looks good, the freezer part seems solid with no leaks, so I can try making fruit sorbet. I found 20+ recipe clippings in the bottom of the box.
