It Was An Inside Kind Of Day...

Happy Friday, friends! I told you yesterday that we planned to clean out the last garden bed today. Once we were up, Handsome and I chatted about it and decided to take it easy on weary bones instead. As if to christen our decision, shortly afterward it began to rain.

Handsome exerted more the day before, and was much sorer than I, and I had a bowl of week old tomatoes waiting for me. I decided to process them into tomato soup. I put the ingredients called for in the recipe through my food processor and then everything went into my Kilner pot. It was a lovely mixture of tomatoes, onion, celery, and garlic. Six pounds of tomatoes yielded a paltry pint and a half of soup, and once I lightly milled the ingredients through my mother-in-law's chinois, I couldn't bring myself to toss all that goodness. Instead, I added spring water, reheated it and canned all of it to use as an additive for soup, roasts, or even meatloaf. I had three and a half pints to put into the pantry after all the jars were pressure canned.

Once that task was complete, it was late afternoon, so that's where I punched out for the rest of the day. I spent a little time on the porch with the cats, spent some time with the dogs, and shortly after made dinner for Handsome and me.

So, that means today will be the day I work on my Etsy shop. I'm also going to set up a few froggies in my hoop. One for my Gratitude Giveaway, and more for my shop. I'm going to finish them as scissor fobs once the needlework is done. I think that will take care of the rest of this day, don't you?

Last of all...Don't forget you can enter the Gratitude Giveaway once a day just for being a blog follower, but you get to enter again if you follow me on Facebook, and once more if you follow Brynwood Needleworks on Instagram. Good Luck!
