On the present home front... The jamming has begun.
I really do not want to make 10 batches this year as I did last year and I am encouraging friends to pick my yellow plums. So far I have made two batches and my fridge is so full there is no space for other food. I might freeze some and make more jam later.
I also have another idea on how to yellow plum..secret for now.
I have eaten two figs so far this year, but most are still far from ripe. It is still quite dry and hot, everyone wants water... But we are in super conserve mode.
I am busy most days now, which is indeed good for the financial situation. Less time to play in the yard, though. I am so eager to live in my house for many reasons, one of which is so playing in the yard means walking out the door.
Today I stopped by the site near clean up time and chatted with floor guy. The wood stove area is getting done. I gave my contractor license to pick the contrasting tile for the rise of the raised corner. He has chosen a creamy white colour. Again the top will be the regular floor tile. Floor guy said it should done by the end of the week so wood stove guy can get going on Monday.
The bedroom with a clean floor... The lighting makes the hallway tile look different.. It's not.The bathroom has begun! .... The cable is too long at this point, but we may be able to get creative. It may work out for the cable to go down on the shower floor and up the side of the bathtub... Which would keep the tub hotter... It may work out.
And that's all for a Tuesday.
Picked plums later on, then friends came by to help pick plums, then another friend rode by and took plums home on the back of her bike! Plum tuckered out for the night.
