If you are craving pickles, you should head on over! Yesterday I picked 7 fresh cucumbers from the garden. Knowing that I couldn't eat enough salads for that many cucumbers to be involved in, I used some old jam jars and a pickle mix and made some of my own pickles! It was very fun. Charlotte and I got a lot done today - we hung at the pool with our friends for a long time, did sock laundry (the worst!), weeded the garden and mowed the foot long grass in the backyard despite much protest from the lawnmower. I also had to get out some weedkiller. Apparently some very determined weeds are busting right through the landscape fabric and mulch in the rose bed. More mulch may be needed. Anyway, it is good to keep busy while Helaman works so much. We miss you H!

Wow, that is great you got so much done! The pickles look great. It makes me want to get to work!
I'm impressed! How fun to make pickles. I should probably start a garden first... And I hear you on the weeds. No matter what method we've tried - weeds make it through.
Oh man! I love home-bottled pickes. :-D
Good job! I'm totally impressed! Does Charlotte like them?
Wow, look how life has changed!! looks like fun:)
Look at you, all domesticated and stuff-making pickles, gardening...I'm impressed!
