This one stopped eating on the weekend. The vet said she had a dangerously low white blood cell count and I was genuinely panicking because I thought it was the end 😭 but after some meds she’s finally eaten and seems to be perking up. Had me worried for a sec, she’s my world 🐾❤️ #AnimalsOverPeople

The right blame immigrants for everything that is wrong with this country and they’re being allowed to be as loud as possible because those in power do not want the spotlight to be placed on the billionaires that are leeching the country dry. It’s an ‘old boys club’ at heart never forget that..

Time for making pasta sauce. Got about 10 of these trays so far, hopefully will get a few jars. Mixture of 'San Marzo' 'Super Mama' and plain old 'Money maker', with a few sprigs of homegrown basil thrown in for good measure.

The fig tree went a bit bonkers with fruit this year. Already have 3 jars of fig preserve so now on a dehydration marathon. This little lot will end up as filling for fig roll bickies. Goodness knows what I'll do with the rest. Any ideas anyone?
