Jalapeno, Chili, Sweet Banana, Hot Yellow Wax, Serrano.......Arizona 59, Oklahoma State 38? What kind of score is that?
Pepper harvest. I am watching football and harvesting garden veggies. That's what I do in the fall.
Day One.
On Day Two I was more ambitious.
I made some Cowboy Candy. Yikes! In my taste test my Jalapenos were hot!
RTM's dahlias are in their glory.
Some of the other flowers are showing off their best color.
On another note, I took a long shot with my football picks and it turns out Arizona beat Oklahoma State. It puts me in the lead in the football pool today. I should have bought a lottery ticket the day I made my picks. I don't expect my lucky streak to hold out during the NFL games today, but winning is sweet even if it's only temporary.
I just wish I could have watched the game. It must have been very interesting with a score of 59 to 38. That's what is wrong with the TV industry. They make you pay a lot of money and give you 200 channels of garbage programming along with a million commercials to poison our minds.
I'd better get back to my garden.

Yes, we are boomers having fun. What else is there to do?
Every Tuesday I drive to Sandpoint for my guitar lesson. The Mandolin Gals and Fiddle Gal and and I love our lesson with our teacher, Doug Bond. We take our lessons very seriously but we also have a lot of fun. This week Doug drove to Hope so that we could have a lesson using our PA system.
Thanks to Neil (Recorder Man), for taking a couple of photos of our session.
Once again, we had a great time. After our two hour lesson, it was back to the garden chores. Yesterday was beet day. Pickled Beets and canned beets. Tomorrow will be pepper day. It's time to start getting the garden harvested and all those veggies preserved. Then I get to play my guitar again.

I'm "on a tear".
At least that is what Retired Mountain Man says. He is staying out of my way. In between harvesting veggies and berries, I am on a mission to get rid of anything in the house that has been here for five years or more and not been used. We have been in this house for 32 years. We have a LOT of stuff!
After four Outback loads to the dumpsters and one load to Goodwill I am almost done. How long should you keep a soil test kit from 1970? The manager at the dumpsters wanted to know if there was anything radioactive in it? Hmm. I don't think so. I am guessing that most of the chemicals in the kit were too old to be of any use, but I don't know.
There are now a few empty spots on shelves but not enough. I think I may have to do Round Two, but not until next year. The guy at the dumpsters is getting really tired of seeing me.
The garden is finally producing and it's time to concentrate on bringing in the produce and canning or freezing all that tasty stuff for the winter.
It's also time to get back to my piano and guitar and play some tunes.
Where is the Cougar Creek Band anyway? They all seem to be off on their own tears. I am hoping they will all decide that they miss playing together and SOON!
Meanwhile, Retired Mountain Man, Neil and Travis are working hard at getting in the firewood for winter. They are also almost done. It takes a lot of cords of wood to heat this house from October to May.
We are also "getting ready for some football" and the Cougar Creek Football Pool. There are certain people in the pool that need to lose this year. You know who I'm talking about. They (Jon, Neil and GrizEileen) are always in the winner's circle. It's time for new champions in 2012. Go Will! Go Dave! Go JP! Ann? Linda? Julie? Me?
Go Big Red!
