More hard work. Dehydrating celery. Blanch each batch x 30 seconds. Then dunk in cold water. Have 8 trays full. I’m all dunk in. Another hot one today. Should be getting lots of solar power for the dehydrator if not for AC.Day 14 #augustbreak2022Day 13 #augustbreak2022. It’s past 6 O’CLOCK but still early and cool enough to sit, have another cuppa and enjoy my thick, thick book. I’m on page 593 of 742 of Tom Wolfe’s A Manon Full. I love the early morning light.Day 12 #augustbreak2022Celery and kale got haircuts. It’s a case of too much of a good thing. Got another bed of celery to trim another day. Trimmings washed on rack. Kale hanging in basement to dry. Celery will need to be blanched before drying in dehydrator maybe tomorrow.Day 11 #augustbreak2022Day 10 #augustbreak2022It has risen, flatten and risen again. Now I’m about to flatten it again into loaves so they can rise again.Stir fry of bitter melon and Chinese mustard greens. I do love bitter.Day 9 #augustbreak2022Instagram

INVITATION TO CHANGE
I’m suffering somewhat with this locked/shut down. Sometimes I feel as if I’m suffocating and can’t catch my breath. These times come with some tiny memories that drift in uninvited and unannouced of times before, of people lost and forever … Continue reading
