SMOKING SALMON

WE have been busy putting up salmon for the winter --,WINTER= Yikes!!==where did that word come from.??? Keeping busy while the fish are coming in. Catch, gut and cut up and wash jars or get the smoke ready. actually Grandpa does most of that I clean the fish and wash jars and can. It all turns out very good.
My flowers are in full bloom and some fading away. I have been collecting seeds to try and get a dirt bank started with wild flowers down at the boat launch.
The garden is producing and tomatoes are getting ripe but I have a feeling I will have a few green ones left to make salsa.
Kids came out to go fishing yesterday, they got 3, fixed a pot of bear meat spaghetti to feed the hungry crew when they came back. was so good to get my hugs from my son and grandson.
Raining today I started out to mow the lawn as the sun was out for a bit. It didn't look like it was dry enough to cut. I was going to weed eat. pulled the weed whacker out and was coming around the house and rain hit so I am in the house .
Big City tomorrow with a friend. and a Dr. appointment.
PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR PFC. BOWIE TO RETURN HOME (USA) SAFELY.
