I have picked a few more peppers and continue to get some cherry tomatoes, although not as many.  The roma plant and green onions I snagged from the $1 table at our hardware store are doing quite well - there are 2 tomatoes growing at this point.  Lettuce has petered out.  Next year I need to plant smaller batches each week for a while.

On a whim I took a cut from the bottom of a cabbage and got it to start growing.  Similarly I got an onion that had started growing in my onion bin to start rooting.  Gotta get some practice in where I can before it is desperate times to have some type of produce.

I even bought a few things to do some water bath canning. I type the rest of this paragraph with the caveat that I need to do more research.  I see some folks saying you can do the following without needing to pressure can... but.. I'm paranoid.  I'm hoping the guy across the street offers us peaches from their tree again.  I am also watching for a decent price on tomatoes to do some meatless sauce.  I had bought beets from the farmers market a few weeks ago and made an amazingly delightful batch of pickled eggs and beets.  I'd like to do some of those as well.

I did get a bit of purging of Avery's old toys and smaller clothes done in preparation for her birthday gifts.  I also did a bit of cleaning and reorganizing in my bathroom (under the sinks and in that closet).  It felt good. I need to do more of that.  As I have bought a little extra of food I need to do some organizing in the basement too.

I also still need to get the limoncello bottled.  I filtered it again as it had a bit of yellow at the top.

The other time consuming thing has been the foster family of cats.  They're quite the sweethearts and their personalities are shining.  We have a cuddler, a scaredy cat, a sweetie-petite, and a bitey-mcscratchy.  They are scheduled (at long last) for vetting (spay/neuter) midSept, so the time is quickly growing short before they'll be available for adoption and moving on to their forever homes.
