Sandra, thanks for posting a photo - I envisioned you stranded in a streetcar (trolley) on a ride home. Climate change is real. There are seasons when I don't carry a leather handbag because they're hard to dry. I hope you're able to recover everything that got soaked.

Today I spent a couple of hours at the museum scanning and caught up on some local news, and I'm planning to get back for a couple of more hours tomorrow or Friday. This evening is getting set up for making more pickled okra tomorrow. My activities are short in duration because of stopping for all of the cat meals, so I've washed all of the jars and it will take two more intervals to do the the trimming of the pods and then the processing.

The next batch will be the last because I don't want to have a backlog, I need to give it all away this fall. I'll be able to give the fresh pods to people until the season ends (or will make the pickles on request if they supply the jars and while okra supplies last).
