Weeding things out of the corner in the kitchen and from in the Kitchen Queen. Trays I never use any more, large cutting board, a few glass pieces, a couple of baskets. First dibs to the kids, then the stuff is donated. I also dropped a couple of ancient flameless candles & bases in the e-waste bin, they don't hold a charge any more. And a bunch of cardboard is stashed in the SUV, I'll head over to the recycle bins this evening.

This afternoon I quartered and fried a couple of large eggplants to freeze; the slices will go on a favorite pork, tomato, and eggplant casserole next winter. Now to assemble another jar of refrigerator pickles.

I'll go out in the morning and start cutting up those branches I trimmed. I could run them through the electric chipper, but I don't use it often since I can get large bags of wood chips free from the city any time of the year (and the chipper is loud and slow and won't handle much more than 1" thick sticks). Should probably sell the chipper.
