The last one was posted this morning since Mudcat was down for a little while last night.

I will note that I have the remainder of a roll of trimmer string from the last couple of trimmers that I'm still using and, like you, am stopping every few feet to get it to extrude properly. I'll use up what I have before I buy more.

The pecans were tasted before being put in jars this morning and think I've hit on the best recipe. And smart me - I wrote it down as I worked last night so in theory it is reproduceable. They've all been good, but these are better.

Ms Argiope on the front door seems to have consumed another suitor in the last 48 hours. She positioned her web closer to the security door again and has managed to attach her web to part of the "do not disturb" postit note I put on the outside glass of the door, near her. So it is pulled up away from the glass and isn't readable. When I open the door it relaxes toward the glass. Time for a second note, placed lower? "Keep your voice down and be careful what written materials you leave on the door, this spider can read"?

Rounding up craft and office supply donations today and tomorrow to drop off Thursday. Dropping off garden produce to takers who aren't tired of it yet. I have to pick up a couple of hot peppers to start making pickled okra because mine didn't produce any fruits. The garden seems to be largely in charge of activities this summer.
