Ten Things Tuesday- The Extremely Late Edition

Yes, I haven't done my list in a couple weeks.

I have been busy.
I am going to call it veggie abundance.

My garden has decided that it is time to go into full production so I gotta do what I gotta do.

I know, I have missed reading people's blogs.
Hopefully, maybe I have been missed too?
Maybe just a little bit?


But, never fear. I have returned. Today.

This weeks list is all about my excuses for not blogging and why I am so very late.

1. Freezing corn
   Corn has been good this year. So far I have picked, shucked, blanched, and cut corn off cobs. Enough that I have 69 pints in the freezer. So far.

2. Too many pickles.
   I have been making dill pickles and bread&butter pickles.


3. Sweet , sweet pickle relish
  Love it on a hot dog- not ifs, ands, or butts. I also mix it with mayo to make chicken salad for sandwiches.

4. Salsafication
  Yes, I can my own salsa. I make it fresh as long as I have the fresh veggies. But come winter, it has to be canned.

5. Tomatoes
   I can tomatoes. And make juice too.

6. Green beans
  I can those too. Today I did 18 pints. Yay!


7. Getting Kiddo ready for school
  She started yesterday. My baby is a freshman. Awesome! So, I have been getting clothes and shoes and stuff ready.

8.Sleeping
   I have discovered all this stuff is making me tired so I have to go to bed sometimes.

9. Making money
   Sadly, my good looks aren't enough to pay for fun time. So for extra money I bake and do surveys online.

10.  Computer problems
   My updates are having trouble installing correctly and I have been messing around trying to get it to work. So far, I am making a little headway. But, not without a little hair pulling.

So, I have been a bit frazzled as of late.
But, I am slowly getting back on track.
