Dill Fruit

This week we were recovering from the reunion and gearing up for the 4th of July. We did a lot of brisket prep and did yard work. We expect our first visit from our nurd pals so tune in next week for the pictures.
This week we start off with a surprise picture from The Dutchess.....

Then we have our very first tomato of the year. We're early

Plus, Cupcake started picking her green tomatoes for BM to fry up for her

Our garden is doing well, and our pumpkin patch has really started to take off. All of our vines have runners on them, and they are big enough to see from the front porch.

And our herb garden is producing dill. We've started cutting and drying it to prep for pickles

Moving on to our July 4th prep, we start off with arts/crafts. Cupcake made Mason jar light holders

We made a couple of pies for the holidays. Chocolate and buttermilk.

Our first ever buttermilk pie crust

Baked for choco pie

Finished product

Buttermilk Pie with a buttermilk crust

We end this week with an OCD item. Big Man went through basic training for the US Army over thirty years ago. One of the first things he learned was that toilet paper's proper display is over the top. People who hang TP backwards are Russian agents and communist spies. That's probably not the case inside The Acre, but this scene will stop BM in his tracks until it's corrected.

After the roll was correctly displayed, we ended the week with wings.
