Sounds like you had a good trip and great visit, Dorothy!

The last few days have been a flurry of activity, such as refilling the spools for my battery-operated string trimmer (after researching string design to use one that cuts better.) Also rooting around in the front room for things packed and ready to describe and sell on eBay, especially seasonal cooking and baking items.

I did some cooking to freeze in single portions, my nacho mix so far. This time of year the freezer is already pretty full from all of the packaged or jarred garden produce. Tomatoes, eggplant, and this year I'm freezing a bunch of okra (since roasting it results in a consistency similar to having been frozen, it might not make a difference to the outcome.) In that past I usually only ate it fried, and from frozen to fried isn't a great consistency.

I fixed my office radio today, where I work while listening to one weekly AM program (from the gardening site I work for). I successfully swapped in an antenna from a different radio. I had been streaming it on the computer and that channel carries awful far right programs the rest of the time. The streaming ads are worse than the ads they broadcast on the radio, for some reason. Who knows what the Google algorithm made of that regular site.

I missed putting out tree limbs during last month's quarterly bulky waste pickup so am going to resort to taking them down one at a time, cutting into pieces, and stuffing into the trash can. We are entering the best time of year for pruning trees (when they start to shut down for winter).

All of this plus more dog walking. Fall is a great time of year.
