A Few Quick Notes 611

-Today has been variously rainy, cloudy, and sunny.  Unfortunately, the sunny portions of the day have tended to be the shortest.  Apparently funnel clouds have been spotted in souther Saskatchewan - so there's that too.

-Maybe because of the rain we had over the past few days the mosquitos have been out in full force.  While at our Ultimate game on Thursday I received several bites and this afternoon while we were in the garden briefly Jeannette received about a half dozen bites, most of which were through her clothes.

-Yesterday I made a quite enjoyable batch of pea soup for dinner.

-We've been on something of a fruit leather making kick recently.  We've made three batches in the past few days.  I think we're particularly motivated to make this much because each successive batch has been more successful than the previous batch.  I'm convinced that part of the recent success stems from my decision to include both a wider variety of fruits and also to include the juice from one or two lemons.

As Jeannette can attest, the only problem with so many successful batches of fruit leather is availability of so much fruit leather.  If one's not careful one can in a matter of minutes eat the equivalent of several pounds worth of fruit.  I guess there are worse things one could be binging on.
