Busy August Week

Went to Abingdon on Tuesday to the Highlands Festival Craft Fair. Seems like it gets smaller every year, but guess that is the way things go after being almost the same year after year.  Got just a couple things and went to the antique stores that are still there.  Didn't get there until the afternoon as was making peach jam in the morning.

Wednesday night played doubles tennis with my cousin, Mary Jane and a couple that she know from Wytheville Country Club - Rick and Mary Radman this week and had a great time. Very good players.  They want to play again next week and we hope some others will join us! Last week we had two other players and we changed partner often to keep it fair.

Made vegetable soup this week and froze some. Ate the last of the unfrozen today for lunch. Only veggie not out of our garden was the carrots- we don't grow those.

Canned Peaches

Been canning Peaches and dill Pickles (thanks to Butch - I have no cucumbers) all week! Today did some more peaches.  Alaso made peach chutney which we had with our roast beef tonihgt. Have to figure out why not as thick as I would like if I make again.

Peach Chutney

Yellow Squash & Peppers Soup

Also made yellow squash and pepper soup which is delicious and chocolate zucchini cake and zucchini pancakes.

Chocolate Zucchini dessert

 (thanks also to Butch for all our zucchini as I have none)!  Also froze some green peppers today which I hope to stuff when I get to FL. And picked some more green beans that we will have for dinner tomorrow night.


Finally a few of our tomatoes are turning red. Made some fresh salsa yesterday with a couple of those and a trusty Mrs. Wages mix!  And of course putting on sandwiches, under cole slaw and paired with tomatoes!
