The Calm Before Gabriel

Tomorrow we are due to get post tropical storm Gabriel. Just a rain event according to the weather forecasters. Today was hot, hazy & humid. I went to take a photo of the cove but when I got there I couldn't decide which view to take, so I took a few. I caught a couple of cormorants hanging out in the Fitzroy too. I made eggplant parmesan, using the fresh tomato sauce. Sorry, no photos, but it was yummy!

Today... a sparkly Saturday afternoon

It was an absolutely spectacular September day in Hubbards. Sunny, breezy & warm. Tomatoes needed picking & eating, so what better than a fresh tomato sauce? Raspberries were on deep discount at the store so I made a batch of jam.... my second of the season. The first batch didn't even make it to the pantry!
