The rest of the produce

In the past twenty-four hours, we have:

• canned the sour pickles (nine jars, with three jars left in the fridge to eat in the immediate sense)
• pitted and destemmed a flat of cherries (about fourteen pounds post-pitting) and are brining them to be canned or turned into maraschino cherries
• made roasted green grapes for freezing in small freezer jam type quantities
• made a batch of granola for the week (why had I forgotten how easy it is to make granola?)
• took the post-pitting cherry pits and juice and made cherry syrup
• started a batch of cucumber and carrot kimchi in the pickle crock with the last bit of picking cucumbers
• processed and frozen the peaches and plums kicking around in the bottom of the crisper drawer (hello, peach-and-plum kuchen at a later date)
• and made roasted green beans and zucchini to have with rice and dumplings for supper

... and I still need to toss in a load of laundry.

Perhaps I have been possessed by the ghosts of my German-Canadian farm wife ancestors?

In other news, I was poking around on my hard drive, and found a folder of old LJ icons. There are a whole series captioned "fandom orphan," and I'm sure it was a thing, since I made them, but I cannot remember the specific context. I remember exactly where the shed freak icons came from, though! So I posted them on Tumblr, because why not. Stupid in-jokes FTW.
