We're finally supposed to have our first freeze this evening, so yesterday I spent the morning harvesting my garden for the last time, as well as bringing in my sprinklers, hoses and whatnot.

An alright harvest, but my tomatoes, cantaloupes and peas didn't survive long after planting this year, so mostly just peppers and cucumbers.

The last image shows my efforts this morning. I'm pickling the less ripe peppers and making an attempt at dehydrating the over ripe, wrinkled ones in order to grind them into chili powder. I did also harvest my basil, which I will also dehydrate, but it was heavily bolted, so I'm not sure I'll get much out of it.

I emptied the pool lines about a month ago. Probably the last time for that pool. If I get it filled in I'm going to do a garden or maybe a greenhouse. Pool brought us a lot of fun through the years, but it's too much money and work for the use we get out of it since the kids are gone and the nephews and nieces are all grown.

In photography, do you know what the instruction "cowboy shot" means? Don't look it up. Just guess if you don't know.

"cowboy shot" … Just guess

Dunno, so:

♣ Driving along in passenger seat, whip camera out of pocket and fire off a few at a fleeting opportunity.
♦ Take a naughty candid, then jump on your horse and hightail it.
♥ Training to be a cattle imagery specialist.
♠ Camera hidden in hat.

Now to look it up…

Well that was a big let-down

Well that was a big let-down

Only because of your dirty mind. Did you see why it is that way? I wanted to see if people could guess it by thinking about cowboys and old westerns. Since Brian felt it was a letdown, I'll go ahead and tell everyone it's a photo taken from the middle of the thigh to the top of the head. This way, when they were taking photos of cowboys, they always got the holsters and guns in the picture.

I post the same way I give gifts. I make everyone say, wut? Unintentionally of course. That's why I'm only giving cash this year and trying not to post as much

@ZedClampet Do you have a favorite western movie? I love the genre and there are so many I could have put as number one, but the one for me that I always keep coming back to is Unforgiven, directed by the legendary Clint Eastwood. He stars in it, Morgan Freeman and another great actor I like a lot, Gene Hackman. The plot, locations, shooting, actors, props, everything is brilliantly done.
