Pot Luck

This is going to be a potpourri post. A little bit of everything.
I have not caught the mouse yet, I have the traps set with the finest of cheep peanut butter but no luck, I will keep them out for a bit.
I have been busy pickling stuff. Last night I made 3 pints of pickled beets.
Today I made 1 and 1/2 pints of sweet pickles and 2 pints of jalapeno pickles and 4 quarts of dill pickles. The house smelled wonderful, the fresh dill and fresh garlic are a awesome scent. I got the garlic at the farmers market, it sticky, not dried out like that stuff you get at the store, my fingers still smell like garlic. I'm sure that when my Mom and Dad come down here Dad will make a comment about that I shouldn't have put garlic in the pickles, but then a few years ago I made the same kind of pickles and he and Mom ate quite a few quarts of pickles!
It's been overcast here in Wisconsin for the past 3 days and we had some rain, so I didn't water my garden, when I went to check it this afternoon the plants looked a little wilted, so I turned the hose on them and I caught my dear precious Abby in the garden this afternoon! Bad Dog! as if she cared! Nothing in there for her!
I also went to the library today, didn't get any books as I still have 5 books here at the house to read, just went to visit my book pusher friend Kellie and she was my hook up for the fresh dill.Also I didn't know that I had a goof on my blog regarding comments, so I fixed that, it should be easier to make one if you want.
Oh and do you think that just maybe I add to much lighter fluid?
