I see the outline of what will even...Sweet Kymber,<br /><br />I see the outline of what will eventually be your outdoor kitchen. I'm so excited for you. BDM is going to create a basic outdoor kitchen (one of these days, lol) that will be removable, so when we move out of this place we can take it with us. You probably noticed the gas oven in one of my recent posts about dehydrating onions. That's a practically new oven and stove given to us from some friends who decided they didn't want an oven in their RV. We lucked out with getting this for FREE!!!! Anyway, enough about us.....let me get back to your kitchen. Are you going to make it with walls, or will it be a totally outdoor type kitchen?<br /><br />Look at all those yummy hot peppers!!! You'll have enough peppers this year to last you for several years girlie. Will you be dehydrating these peppers and making powder with any of them?<br /><br />Wooohooo look at those tomatoes and grapes, you're going to have all kinds of stuff to put away in your pantry this year. <br /><br />English roses, I wonder if they grow here because we had a beautiful tree with red flowers that looked like roses until the gas company dug through our property and they cut it down :-(<br />Are those the roses you're picking to make your water?<br />I can already see you making healthy foods, and medicinal things with all your amazing herbs. <br /><br />Give your sweet pup a scratch behind her ears when you see her.<br />Sending hugs and love to you and Jam.<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-21380410418490184902015-07-17T22:57:42.380-03:002015-07-17T22:57:42.380-03:00Wow, what a haul.
