Preserving the summer harvest

Today I have been busy drying peppermint leaves (for herbal tea), tomatoes (aka sun dried), zucchini chips (great healthy snack), apple leather(with honey and cinnamon), and freezing sliced bell peppers (for Fajitas this winter). I feel like a squirrel preparing my stores for a long winter.

I also cleaned out the fridge which was badly in need of it. There is nothing like cleanliness, and clean windows and a clean fridge all in one week is amazing. Now to get the floors and bathrooms done.

Whoever coined the phrase "The lazy days of summer", must have been a kid. I can't remember a lazy summer since I was a kid myself. But I do love the long summer days filled with sunshine.
