Michelle, I didn't use spice in this batch, but I will if I get a few more peaches. My friend Dean posted this on my facebook page last week:

"You should do a batch of spiced peaches (hvy syrup, some stick cinnamon & whole clove per jar). They're like heroin: you'll come to your senses, sitting on the floor and surrounded by empty jars with a sticky spoon in your hand . . ."

Kat, it does look good. The "Dashboard" is a very helpful area that lets you set controls, moderate remarks, etc. It also lets you see hits on the page - if you set it up so there is a message posted to your facebook page every time you post something, you'll find more people will see it.

Susan, I imagine that doing the movements in the proper way will give you a lot more bang for your buck, and give you more time in the day. I'm glad you got a good night's sleep, that is so important to good health.

Michelle, I was listening to a conversation on public radio about babies sleeping. Jeremiah is past the tiny baby stage they were discussing, but it was interesting - in 20 years so many things have changed. No bumpers, no toys, they don't even suggest a blanket for the baby, and it should be on it's back.

I had some dirty dishes in the sink last night as I'd been getting set to run the dishwasher. This morning the sink was filled with ants marching up the mixer bowl and into the bit of mashed potato that was crusted inside. So strange, and I'm so tired of this heat and the ants and bugs and all that make their way indoors. I leave all of the drains closed now to keep out waterbugs. I'm a naturalist, I can deal with it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it!

eBay today, and some more stuff gets finished in the house and perhaps more wiring items (all in their plastic bags still) taken back to Home Depot.
