Fruits of our Labor

This photo was taken early in the summer. Now that we’re at the end of August we only have the peppers and zucchini, along with plenty of butternut squash.

See those tomatoes? That’s as far as we got this year before the little critters had eaten them all. As you can see below, the squirrels have even invaded our kitchen! Is it possible to beat the squirrel at his game? We have to chase them off the bird feeders all the time.

One of our sisters (who will remain nameless) thought we might have a close competition with the Benedictine Monks at Subiaco with their hot “Monk Sauce”. I asked her how long a jar of that green stuff lasts. She said they (the sisters who actually enjoy the sensation of burning and FIRE) go through a jar in less than a week!

No, we don’t sell it like the monks. But if you stop by I’ll try to smuggle some out the door to you!
