The jars of okra are lovely and now labeled. They need to sit for a few weeks before the flavor is mature, then will be given to the usual folks who like them.

I'm wondering if Mary G got herself moved to the new place in Centralia? A new month may mean a new lease? And how did the move go? Is the car still running?

Today's holiday was a day for self-care, but I am working on letters for my representatives. Since we had a couple of intense rainstorms today I think not going to the Labor Day march was probably a good idea.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to sort out my cucumbers - they're bitter, and it seems to have to do with the amount of water they're getting. I thought they were too wet, but apparently not. And they don't like competition (I have four vines on the same general area). I may need to remove a couple and see if that helps.
