It's the middle of October! Got to make some tomato sauce to put in the freezer this week. The nights are getting cool, but it's still in the 70's to mid 80's during the day. We planted peas and lettuce last week and there are already little green shoots sticking their heads up. We might have to cover them for a bit if we get a frost towards the end of November. We've still got zuccini and I'm drying peppers. These things are lethally hot, so we've got enough to last us all winter.

We've been buying the milder chille peppers to use for home made enchilada sauce.

Took a trip to Albuquerque on Sunday to play with the Curio Cowboys, a Western Swing Jam Band. ( www.curiocowboys.com ) Brian hooked me up with them and we drove up together. Annie came too and we met Carrie Spates (a former 3rd floor Homer Triplex tenant) and her daughter Vivian. Brian and I are playing this weekend at the golf course for some sort of convention dinner.
