What did you have for dinner? My boyfriend found a bunch of morels today at work! He was doing some landscaping near an outdoor spa and found all of these and more!

More jungle! My tomatoes grew like crazy this year and with barely any rain in August their sugars and flavour were concentrated into the best tasting I’ve ever had. I have dried, frozen and canned (paste and sauce) tomatoes that will last me well past the winter. More squash- I let them take over the whole garden once my string beans and onions were done growing. I snuck some sunflowers in beside the jerusalem artichokes.
Part of a jungle of my garden. First, the pumpkins I planted into the lawn in hopes they would grow down over an existing rock wall. A success! Second, squash plant hanging from the jerusalem artichokes. Third, the squash plant making its’ way to the other side of the huge patch of jerusalem artichokes.
Here are some photos of a blanket my boyfriend and I felted for a wedding gift this summer. Most of it was done rolled up in a blanket around a PVC pipe with soapy water. This is an old Mongolian felting technique-although they used to tie the wool wrapped around a log behind their camels. As they grazed through the plains the wool fibres interlocked together. We had to sit in chairs and roll the pipe between our feet for quite a few hours. After that part was done I added some more detail with a needle felter.
