It has finally rained here. We have had an extremely dry summer. Our
rain gauge (a pot sitting on the deck) was full this morning, so we
have had at least 2.75 inches of rain. More predicted today. I will
have to get out and pick tomatoes, watermelons and cantaloupes before
they start splitting. I still have 35 pounds of tomatoes waiting to
be made into salsa and I need to make another batch of butternut soup.

I like to just eat butternut steamed and mashed. ;-d
A little salt and butter, maybe some shredded jack cheese...

I prefer the soup, especially when I have several to do something
with. I will freeze the soup.
