Default Basil

Yesterday we picked a peck of basil, washed it down, patted it dry
between old towels (handiest things in the world), then into the
dehydrator, all ten piled up. Let the dehydrator run from about 9pm last
night until about 7am this morning. Just right dryness so into our
miscellaneous containers we hoard and now in the darkness of the canning
pantry. That's a lot of basil but our many children, grands, etc. like
to get free stuff and we use a lot of basil in homemade dishes.

Looks like rain all this week but we need the water. So, we're thinking
of another rain dance, behind the six foot fence of course, don't want
to have the police called on me jumping around with feathers and a
breech cloth. It ain't a pretty sight at my age but, sometimes, the rain
does come.
