It turns out that even though we may have seen melon jams and jellies canned before, the fruit is actually so low in acid that there isn’t really any safe way to can it and prevent botulism!

And then I think I’d feel guilty for all of the other things I’d miss getting done during that time.. Yup, I over-think things..So I haven’t yet.

Or Chris may just do it in “20 seconds” like he says he can sometime this weekend..I did get a new thermostat though!It’s something I’d been meaning to do anyway while I was working in this hall and I ended up getting it for free through the hydro company.

Isn’t it pretty?OK, well it makes me happy at least.

Now if I could only figure out if and how we can rip down that ugly non-functioning humidity controller thing beside it..

So there you have it, my friends!We (all of us) just love it out here now!.

The back yard definitely needs a few improvements in terms of the landscaping and a bit of clean up, but it’s coming along nicely!.Just pretend all those plants and shrubs are in non-cartoon form, K?.

If you look closely at that last picture (which still has the old green fake shutters) and some of the others, you can see that we also built some new, chunkier grey shutters to go around the windows too.Details on that project coming soon!.
