#roguevalley — Public Fediverse posts

Our deer-fenced garden is starting to look like Fall. Roses are finishing up, potted trees turning color, last of our veggies hanging on til they ripen. Not sure how much Fall color we’ll get given the recent heat waves, but I’ll be sure to share pics when Autumn leaves are at their most colorful. #PNW #PNWGardening #gardening #Flowers #FlowersOfMastodon #BloomScrolling #Oregon #RogueValley

I did bake sour cream blackberry muffins, though. (I messed up the crumble top so it looks weird but still tastes good.) #Fruit #Peaches #RogueValley

But wait, you think. Where is the baking? Surely you baked something tasty with the peaches??

I would have baked, but I also have blackberries. 😋

I have nine peaches left. Not shown: all the peaches I ate. I ate too many peaches. 😋 🤢

(these are on a baking tray because if I left them out flat on the counter Cato would gleefully push them all off onto the floor)

Me: (buys $5 of superlative peaches at the local farmstand)
Farmstand Owner: Oh we also have these other peaches, they are ugly so they are free.
Me: ...
Me: Can I take the whole box?
FO: Sure!
Me: I can bring the empty box back next week.
FO: (laughs) that's a lot of peaches! You think you'll be back next week?
Me: (determined) I will be back *every* week until you stop selling peaches.
