Fritz went in to the Vet’s office today to have his ankle re-checked. They removed his cast and and examined him and he appears to be doing well. They want him to be quiet, but they did not recast his leg! So that is true progress! Fritz is thrilled and he is happy to go on short walks in the yard.
After lunch I set up the kitchen to work on my Moon Glow Pickles! I had peeled, scooped out the insides and then diced the cucumbers up yesterday, added 2 chopped onions and one green pepper and one red pepper, also chopped. I soaked this in salt water overnight, and today drained it, and then set it on the stove with vinegar, cloves, mustard seed, and turmeric.
The recipe can be found HERE.
I started to slowly simmer it until it was just starting to get soft. Then I got out my sterilized pint jars and canned 6 pints. I’d only made a half batch, thus the smaller number of jars put up. However, my garden is full of baby cucumbers and soon I will make another batch!
I made our lunch and asked Hubby to take a picture of Anneliese’s ever growing belly. I’m not sure, but she looks smaller to me this time. Part of me worries that this is just a false pregnancy. I’m grateful that we go again on Monday for another ultra-sound. That should reassure me. How does she look to you?
After I see the Vets on Monday I will set up the puppy room. Then I will post pictures of that. I wonder if Anneliese will remember the room and her birthing bed once it is set up?
Sunday I need to DO MY IRONING! Oh, how I dread that job, but I have been very lax about getting that job done, and I’m afraid it has piled up. I’ll break out the ironing board and iron until it is all done. I imagine it will take me a couple of hours.
The next thing on my list is to figure out what to do with all the zucchini I have growing in my garden! Oh dear, you should see the pile of zucchini I have! I’ve been giving it away to friends and neighbors, but I have noticed them avoiding me, whenever they see me, so perhaps I need to stop ‘sharing the wealth’!
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone, and Happy Birthday to my brother in-law, Ron!
I think she looks pretty prego to me! Hope all goes well at the Vet. I have to do ironing today too…not a fun job that for sure!
HAVE YOU EVER MADE ZUCCHINI PIE? SIMILAR TO A QUICHE. IF NOT, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL SEND RECIPE. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH CRESCENT ROLL CRUST, DIJON MUSTARD, SLICED ZUCCHINI AND CHEESE?? YUM YUM, AND YES, ANNELIESE LOOKS ROUND. HOPE IT IS PUPPIES.
I agree with Lauren-she looks prego to me too. Maybe you were holding her a little different this time or something that may have the picture looking different Can’t wait to hear about her appt. tomorrow!
lol that’s why I’ve been sending you a slew of zucchini recipes!
