First, the happy garden stuff.
6/29's harvest. Garlic scapes. Need to find a way to use them.
Clump of green onions. Just plant a half dozen or dozen all together in the same hole, and call it good. Then you can yank them all at the same time. Just a tiny bit more dirt involved than at the grocery store. Need to plant a bit more next year than I did this year.
The cuteness.
Yes, my girl is wearing firetrucks. What of it?
We went scouting in the local forest for red fir (firewood to keep the house warm) and to see how the huckleberries were doing.
Any wonder I don't want to move away from here?

The huckleberries are probably 2-3 weeks away from being ripe.
We had a picnic on the side of one of the forest service roads. Kids thought it was so cool.
Unsweetened strawberry fruit leather.
Slightly sweetened (with corn syrup) strawberry fruit leather.
In jars. Very yummy. I ate that one on top.
Ah yes, my cuddly goofball.
The bad news.
Hubby got laid off today. Lucky us. He'd been there six years, and basically doing two jobs - computer guru/tech and engineer. Damnit. We get insurance through July supposedly, and hubby's applied for unemployment unless the state's site went funky on him again.
We have some plans in the hopper. Hopefully this week we can spiff up the CRV and sell it. Yes, it's very pretty, but if we want to sell it, we need to do it while the gettin's good. We can limp along all squished in the Prizm. We do have some savings, so we're not in dire straits yet. He's working on his resume and all that jazz.
Just so darned frustrating.
In part, because of this.
Yes, the first few are incredibly faint and I think the camera lense needed cleaning.
So, yeah. Groovy timing, eh? I still have no strong feelings whether this babe is going to stick or not. Could go either way. And you know what? I'll be okay with it. Eventually. Whatever happens. Until then, driving down the uber-bumpy forest service roads had me with my finger on the window button in case I needed to barf. That was great fun.
