Our 3 hens have been very productive. Haven't purchased a single egg from the store since they started laying back in November.

It’s been a year since I last canned anything. Today, I thought I’d practice while I wait for the rest of my tomatoes to ripen. Although canning a small batch like this is such a waste of electricity and water, I had a blast doing it

Late summer blooms. I started all of them from seeds, and tbh I thought I’d never see some of them bloom. The aster in particular.

Left some radish from the spring crop to seed. 56% (9/16) germination rate. It's a little lower than I like but I think I should have enough for a small bed next spring. Still loving the envelopes I made a couple of months back.

Drying some marigold, lavender (mostly leaves), and oregano to mix in with the goldenrod I harvested last week for tea. Also, how is it September already? The fuck!?

I scoured Tumblr for a couple of hours just to find this post. More importantly to find this comment! I thought I owed @isalmiro753 an update. Today is our 7th anniversary :)

After finishing the chicken run roof this morning, I was seriously craving something greasy for lunch. So I made some tempura with zucchini flowers (a little past their prime, but still pretty delicious) and kale. I accompanied them with tofu with homemade tonkatsu sauce, lightly sautéed green beans, and some kimchi (Costco kimchi 🤣🤣)

Finally tried goldenrod tea. Not a big fan. It kinda has a milky-like aftertaste. Last week, I tried marigold with chamomile, lavender, and oregano… I can see this going well in that mix. I also think it’ll be good with a slice of lemon and basil.

I never understood people’s obsession with sun-stressed hoyas. I’ve always thought that they looked sickly. But I’m kinda loving my Hoya Erythrina rn.

name 10 songs with 10 names in the titles that I like and tag 10 people at the end.

So I wasn't personally tagged on this, but after reading @allisonreader's post, I was inspired to do it. They left it open for their followers, so here I am listing 10 songs that I like that have names in the title.

I didn't realize writing a post with no pictures is extremely intimidating  🙃

i. Gale Song by The Lumineers - I can easily list the whole album where this song came from, but I only picked two that I like the most. One of them is the Gale Song. One of my go-to's when I'm having a campfire

Favourite line/s: "When you say my name, may it never give you pain"

ii. Marilyn Monroe by Nicki Minaj - I still remember when I first purchased the album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded back in 2012, and this was the first song that really caught my attention. It's still one of my favourite Nicki songs. It's also special coz one of the few songs where Nicki did not rap.

Favourite line/s: "Truth is we mess up till we get it right" "I can get low, don't know which way is up. Yeah I can get high, like I could never come down"

iii. Vincent by Don McLean - One of the few songs that I remember my dad listened to when he was alive

Favourite line/s: ."..how you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how" "And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night you took your life, as lovers often do"

iv. Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel - This song is a 'cleaning the house' staple for me. It just gives me so much positive energy

Favourite line/s: "Jubilation, she loves me again I fall on the floor and I'm laughin"

v. Angela by The Lumineers - the second song from the album Cleopatra - where The Gale Song also came from. Definitely a road trip/campfire song.

Favourite line/s: "Strangers in this town, they raise you up just to cut you down"

vi. A Rose for Emily by The Zombies - a really depressing song I discovered from a really depressing podcast. If you haven't listened to the Podcast "S-Town", give it a whirl.

Favourite line/s: "She keeps her pride somehow that's all she has protecting her from pain" "...as the years go by she will grow old and die. The roses in her garden fade away, not one left for her grave"

vii. Hey Jude by The Beatles - classic. Probably my favourite Beatles song.

Favourite line/s: "anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, don't carry the world upon your shoulders" "Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na, hey Jude Jude, Jude, Jude, Jude, Jude, Jude"

viii. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson - another classic. Don't have much to say about this song

Favourite line/s: "... be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth"

ix. Think of Aaliyah by Boys II Men - probably the most 'deep track' on this list. A tribute to Aaliyah. RIP. A cover of "Think of Laura" by Christopher Cross.

Favourite line/s: "Hey Aaliyah, where are you now? Are you far away from here? I don't think so I think you're here taking our tears away"

x. Helena Beat by Foster the People - I still remember that year when I only listened to the album 'Torches' non-stop. It was a good year.

Favourite line/s: "You know those days when you wanted to choose to not get out of bed and get lost in your head again"

I don't know if anyone's gonna read this but if you did, consider yourself tagged!

These dahlias did so well despite the shitty weather. They were labeled annuals when I bought them but I’m gonna try to dig their tubers out in the fall, after the first frost, to see if I can overwinter them.

My favourite part of the cabin rn. Last week, whilst dealing with mild seasonal depression and insomnia, I went through my iCloud, some sd cards, and usb’s and found hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures I’ve taken in the past, mostly with whatever phone I had at the time. So naturally, I started a new Tumblr blog (as one does). And then I thought, hmmm… these would look good as postcards, so I uploaded them to Redbubble and ordered some. Now they’re on our wall. It looks like a teenager's room, but I think it’s v cute.

The meal I’ve been waiting for the whole year! Well, I always make this spaghetti, but not with stuff from my own garden! Today, I finally had enough ripe and semi-ripened cherry tomatoes to make a serving. I also used one of my garlic heads, which, by the way, are curing nicely. I even managed to pull oregano, thyme, and a bit of basil. Sadly, the onions are not yet ready, so I used a store-bought one. The basil that I managed to harvest is not enough, so I had to use dried basil from the shelf. It’s such an easy, quick, and wholesome lunch. I think my non-existing Italian ancestors would approve. 17-Aug-2023
