I made loads of slicers (for sandwiches and stuff) on the last burst of summer. Since autumn is officially (by the calendar) and unofficially (by the weather) here, next up is apple butter and a couple of Secret Autumn Preserves that are for Xmas gifts. I have officially run out of room in the pantry for canned stuff, I need a rack in the basement.

I finally remembered to take some video of Budgie after a swim. He does this little dance after every swim and bath.
