OMG! It’s
hot!
We are
having “sundowner” conditions tonight and the temperature has climbed 10
degrees or more in a matter of minutes. Outside temp is 90 degrees at 8:30 PM.
It was about 74 degrees when the “sundowner” started about 6 PM. It is one of
those times when fires start. I hope people are aware of that and use caution.
A “sundowner”
occurs when winds come over the mountains towards the coast and heat up because
of the change in pressure. We have wind warnings until midnight tonight.
On other news;
Clyda finished the batch of pickles from last night. She made up a liquid of
pickling spice, sugar, and vinegar and poured it over the pickle slices. After
bringing it to a boil she put the pickle slices into pint jars and water bathed
them for 15 minutes. All the lids “popped” within a few minutes after they were
removed from the water bath.
We have
company coming on Wednesday for dinner so I think we will “test” the new
pickles on them. We need to do this to make sure they are fit to eat before we
make more.
With all the
heat this evening I am sure the garden will produce an abundance of vegetables
tomorrow.
