Monday, Aug. 11, 2003 - 9:08 p.m. 19 pints of sliced peaches in medium syrup. That was what I canned tonight. More than I will likely eat this winter, but that is the point of putting up produce- if we have a down year next summer, I will still have plenty of good surplus form this year left. The tree still has about 2 5-gallon buckets worth of peaches left on it, but the tree rats are doing their best to cut into that total on a daily basis. The trap wasn�t tripped today. There were at least 15 nice peaches, discarded partially eaten on the ground when I came home form work tonight. I don�t want to pick any more of them for at least a couple of more days. They go bad in a very short period of time after being picked, and I have plenty of other things I need to get processed in the next few days. What, you might ask (if I wasn�t boring you to tears at this point)? Enough tomatoes to do a double batch (22 pints) of salsa. A bag full of jalapeno peppers (courtesy of Bugs, my former coworker) that need to be pickled. Ditto a large bag of cucumbers brought to me today by New Mike at work. At least enough for a full batch of sweet pickles. Add to that the grapes hanging full and sweet on the back fence, and you can see why I might let the tree rats have a few more peaches. Don�t want to waste them, but don�t have the time to work them, either. I think I will just pick a bucket full tomorrow night and take it to work. Some of the guys would probably like a few free (almost) ripe peaches�. Tomorrow is my twice-a-year doctor�s visit. Time to be told I am too fat, need to cut down on my sweets, and whatever else comes to my doctor�s mind, before I can get my �scripts. Man, I just can�t wait��. We lost one of the best writers here in D-land over the weekend. Motherload was her diary�s name. She also went by the name Tones. I must have missed something from last week�s entries, because she just deleted everything in her name in the last couple of days. I did try to send her a g-book entry last Friday to comment on something she wrote in my guestbook, but here book was down at the time. Now, her whole diary is gone. I also have 5 people listed on my favorites list who haven�t updated in over 3 months. Maybe the writer in our local paper was right- �journal� writing is just a fad, and it will just go away. I had hoped they were wrong, but I am beginning to wonder����..
