It has been a quiet week at home and a wild one at work. The dust seems to have settled on our 4% budget cut, and although I am not at liberty to give the complete details yet, we only lost one position in chemistry and a few miscellaneous pots of money. The rest of the reduction will end up doing some good for our organization.
This is the first winter-like weekend. Snow is predicted, and a few flakes have fallen this morning. In preparation, we covered our tomatoes and peppers last night (of course they are at peak production) and harvested all of the basil (four varieties). This image shows (foreground first) the cinnamon, sweet, and lemon basil also hanging to dry.
Here you see the Thai basil hanging in the solarium waiting to dry. We have tried to separate the varieties so we can know what we are using later.
Finally, a sample of our garden harvest. It has been a good, if not great, year. One variety of tomatoes (the well-shaped ones in the photo) has been excellent. Don't remember what they were, but they sure have done well. Of course the romas are great and we use them most for salsa, etc.
We are taking it easy today. There is a little yard work to be done, but it will have to wait for the storm to pass. I ran down and fished Sand Hollow on Wednesday afternoon. Pretty slow for me. I didn't catch numbers until about 30 minutes before it got dark. The total was about 10 and they were all small. Caught most drop shotting with a skinny green worm.
