This weekend has turned out surprisingly HOT! Yesterday, I wilted after watering and collecting eggs, and spent the rest of the day learning how to make zucchini chips in the dehydrator. (Yes, it can be done :) Rick is spending this weekend installing another new window. We are going to have the best lookin' cabin in Fiddletown.
My Black-eyed Susans have never looked better! They are one of the easiest plants to grow up here, and I let them grow wherever they decide to sprout up...
...one of my other favorites are Purple Cone Flowers. Not as freely self-sowing as the Susans, but they never fail to bloom, even when they have skimpy sunshine. The bumbles and butterflies love them, too, and they keep producing their gorgeous blooms right into the fall.
Our newest FiddleSong team member is 'SkippyJon Jones'! Anyone who has read that wonderful children's book will recognize the attitude. He is a bright, fun loving little guy who just walked to the farm after spending a couple of days alone in the woods, and made himself at home. "Whew" he seemed to say, "glad I finally made it." The dogs LOVE him, the Grandchildren love him, and the other cats tolerate him.
SkippyJon Jones. Welcome home!
OK, so I made three batches of dried zucchini chips and you know what they taste like? Dried up slices of zucchini. Yum.
