Back porch is done ( for now)
 
Loading Image...
 
Got some 1/2 priced, 1/2 dead plants from Lowes, some patio mats and cushions and hubs bought a big *** umbrella . So another area done- kinda- got all my garden stuff and decorations still packed. Got the bird feeders out and 2 hummingbird feeders up. We get a couple of species year round plus the gila woodpecker likes to drink the nectar. Need to find the rest of my feeders.
 
The Farmers Market was a huge success- found salsa( still not as chunky as I like but who can pass up prickly pear salsa) . Found the tortilla place but it was soo crowded I passed-maybe next week. Fresh fruits and veggies galore plus local eggs. Home made toffee and other candies. Tamales, street corn, tacos so much food! Tons of dog products for the tons of dogs there. It was a very nice market
 
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

@Labslady : I'm so jealous of your fully stocked farmers market. And your yard looks like good too!

@elguapo : A couple of days back it was 86. The day time temps are 100 plus but the night temps are in the low 70's. This morning I had a lightweight wool pullover on. With the low humidity it doesn't feel as hot so I guess the pool doesn't heat up as fast 🤷‍♂️- I don't know. It feels good to get in but I don't want to stay in forever- I get chilly

@Wiseowl : Yea I was surprised it was that stocked but there are a ton of what I call gentleman farms within this town. You could a a regular subdivision and right next to it is a subdivision of farms- 1-2 acre plots (some bigger) where folks raise crops, couple of cattle or horses, goats, pigs, chickens. It's really eclectic
 
My neighbor 2 doors down gave me peaches ❤️ so I made a crisp. Once my citrus comes back I'm going to owe her some blood oranges

@Labslady : Here is the home made salsa recipe you asked for in your other thread:
 
1 large can peeled tomatoes
 
3-5 jalapeno or serrano peppers, cored and seeded
 
2 tsp salt
 
2 tsp accent seasong (omit if you ar allergic to msg)
 
Juice from 2 large extra juicy limes
 
Large bunch of fresh cilantro, stems removed
 
Cumin to taste
 
Blend all ingredients in a blender until well mixed. If you prefer it cold, add 2-3 ice cubes to the blender.
 
Makes about 1 quart of salsa, around our house about two-three days worth.
 
Enjoy-it can be frozen but tastes better freshly made.
