I. KNOW!
Musta needed it!
Alrighty, I told Ray not to buy any more cucumbers!
My attempts this week, almost made me quit while I was ahead!
These are Bread & Butter pickles!
But not before this happened!
Arrrghhhhh!
One of my jars exploded in the canner!
In fact it was an old Jewel jar that I inherited from somewhere.
When I told my mom, she said it's probably been used a million times!
I had no mishaps with these Netherland Pickles!
Except I opted NOT to peel & seed the cucumbers, cause the pickles would have been white & bland looking!
Think about it!
Cucumbers peeled & seeded; chopped onions & cauliflower!?
There ya go!
On my way to bed last night I had to grab a coat, and go out & watch the show!
The Northern Lights were AMAZING!
Those pictures were all my little camera could capture! Sorry!
I'm sure there's a setting, but I didn't have a minute!
I haven't seen them that phenomenal for quite a while!
I almost expected them to be crackling!
Today; I did some laundry, cleaned the woodshed,
and when my craft room window was in shade, I came in.
Gonna play in a while!
It was nice of summer to make an appearence when everyone's canning & the house is already 600 degrees!
And those tiny little black flies, are just annoying!
The bear down the drive way.
Lives here!
That's the entrance to the culvert!
Hahaha, don't worry, I didn't get out of my vehicle, just drove to the side of the road!
Then Tuesday, coming home from my meeting I saw this!
I'm turning into our drive way!
OMG!
I mentioned him to Ray this morning before he went to work, and he thinks he's gone.
Moved out.....too many people, gawking & what have you!
I'll keep you posted!
Because the winds have been mach 300 in the evening, I've been playing.
Here's my first Halloween card of the year!
I LIKE it!
OK, so the lighting's crappy, but IRL it's awesome!
I LOVE the acid green in the 'wallpaper'!
The O/S called me last night!
Left Tuesday for his sail & last night he called me from Vancouver!
Hahahaha, they musta took the long way!
I asked him if he had a Tsumani, before I knew where he was.
Told him that there was a 6.4 earthquake Friday.
He's says "are you sure?"
I know he's not reading this right now, so here's the ship he's on.
That's what the kid does!
Better go, got stuff to do,
or maybe I'll go make myself a smokie over the fire before I start!
I'm just taking it easy today.
I know!
I say that, then think of something that needs done!
Like my van needs cleaned.......
Here's some blog candy for you if you're interested!
Ta ta for now!

OM Goodness Gail ... Northern Lights. I have ALWAYS wanted to see them but have never been far enough north to have the opportunity. They say that they are amazing.
Your pickles look so YUMMY. I had a jar explode in my PANTRY from this year's batch ... wish it had exploded in the canning pot instead!
Your Halloween card is adorable, even though I'm not a Halloween kind of girl.
And finally, wowzers ... your Son has a very responsible position in the Navy. You must be very proud of him.
Your pickles look so good. Canning is a lot of work, but don't you just love to look at the finished product when all the mess is cleaned up and the jars are all sitting neatly on the counter and you think "Job well done"?
Gosh, I saw the Northen lights as well. They probably were not as bright as you saw farther north but they were nice, just the same. It has been a long time since I have seen them at all. I am visiting family in Westlock. I got here Friday evening and caught the lights when I was letting my little dog out just before bed.
Better in the cooker than in the pantry (like Bonnie's). As for the "northern lights", the pics only show up as black squares. Can't see a thing! I would love to see them though. Can't see them here obviously. That damn bear has got to go! Big black assed bastard. I would be terrified to go outside! I'd always be looking over my shoulder thinking it was coming up behind me. You just "like" your Halloween card, I LOVE IT!!! OMGosh! Just like looking out the window of a haunted mansion. This is just awesome! LOVE how you tore the "wall paper" to make it look old. Genius! And may I just say SLOTH!!!! 8:37~ You are so lazy! LOL And finally, that ship is awesome. What a great job he has. I know you are proud. What a wonderful young man. . .Hugs! Best, Curt
