Saving green tomatoes

 

Thursday

I got up at 7:30. Chris was just leaving for work. I went through the morning list. I added milk to some ferments and put them in the dehydrator.

I went to Bible Study at the ACS building. They decided that the chapel wasn't clean enough. We read and discussed the 49^th book of Genesis. Then we discussed community stuff, including writing ICE reports about the chapel.  We said a prayer and I left.

I went home to eat fiber gel, then I went to 607 to finish mopping and get most of my stuff out. Then I went home for breakfast and to watch The Highwire. It was short today. I stayed to eat egg salad and check e-mail. Chris came home to move his luggage to the car. He checked e-mail too, then kissed me and went back to work.

I went to 203 to spray down the bathroom to soak. I also checked the fridge and stove. I walked over to 207 and sprayed it down too. Then I went back to 607 to address the garden. There was a huge sprawling tomato plant. I cut it way back and kept the green tomatoes. I also pulled two flowering broccoli plants and some peppers that were done for the season. I left the zucchini plant and the spaghetti squash plant. I put what I pulled into a large bag. I raked up some of the shredded rubber, but needed a bag to put it in. I took the bag of plant debris and dumped it in my garden, saving the bag for shreds.

I went to Housing to schedule the inspection. I went home to lay out all the green tomatoes so they can ripen over time. I checked e-mail and jotted notes for my blog. I went to the library to get some boring books on CD.

I proceeded to the school where a bunch of us met to pick up neighborhood trash. Erynne and I were on a team and we went between First and Second street where we found lots of trash, then we went between second and third. When we got to the area behind the Clark's house, I saw Moira. She was burying ammonia that her mother found in a green spray bottle. I was so happy to see the bottle because I didn't remember what I had done with it. I finished picking up trash and met the others back at the school. Jack thanked us and we all went home.

I put leftover fish in the toaster oven. I worked on my blog while it heated. I ate supper and listened to a podcast. Chris called and we talked for a few minutes. Then he went to bed in his hotel room at the airport. I worked on a supplement order, then left it while I watched two episodes of Call the Midwife.  Then I went to bed.
