My tomato bandit has struck again. Sure my tomato plants are looking sickly, withered and crispy but they were still producing happy little tomatoes for me to enjoy in my salads.
On the deck I found this:
(Picture me exhaling loudly in frustration)
Then I looked up and saw this:
(Picture me AGAIN exhaling loudly in frustration)
Well Bubbalu, I hope you enjoyed your throwing practice. With all that repetitive throwing motion, I'm wondering if you might have yourself a little case of tomato elbow.
Serves you right...

Happy Fall.
I worked out in the yard with the hubby today. Despite wearing a sweatshirt and...uh...glistening from my elbow grease expenditure, I was chilled.
Fall is here.
Have YOU decorated for the season yet?
Take one boring, inexpensive grapevine wreath:
And add (stick em in, glue gun em in, wire em in) a bunch of fall-ish berries, sticks, floral picks, whathaveyou. Then HANG it UP.
Me? I had a TON of red berry sprays that I yanked out of a 75 cent garage sale wreath. And yes, I DID spray paint half of them orange. Cause the season demands some ORANGE. Also threw some leftover sticks in there because this girl loves her some curly willow:
Fall is here. Let the apple cider consumption, harvest candle flickering, cozy blanket snuggling and fireplace crackling commence...

Thanks to my parents and their overproducing trees I have a few apples to create yummy things with.
Mommy, can I eat this one? I think it likes me.
A few, meaning this bucket is about 10% of the total amount of apples currently in my garage. Lil Chick was busy helping me take care of the abundance. She's been kneeling like this for a few weeks now. Seeing her little toes peeking out of her leggings always makes me smile.
Uh Mommy, I see a fruit fly metropolis. It's starting to worry me.
I tell ya, I'd better get peeling, coring and a' cookin some applesauce.
My two new motto's:
- Sand, Prime and Spray Paint
- Peel & core, cook and freeze.
Or maybe,
- Annoy Husband by Taking Up His Side of Garage With Projects
- Start A Fruit Fly Infestation Worthy Of Notoriety
You choose. Either way, they're all true!
By the way, to make applesauce:
Peel, core and slice many many many apples.
Cook over med heat with about an 1/8th cup of water. Stir frequently. Soon (20 - 30 minutes) it all turns to yummy mush and smells divine.
That's IT!
OK OK OK, you can add cinnamon and sugar, but I prefer it plain. Freeze in Dutch Tupperware (large yogurt, sour cream and frozen whipped cream containers) to use throughout the year.
YUM.
Happy October, y'all...
