Still fooling around

2.post

On a message board I found a work around for OLW. It seemed that even if OLW seemed to work for one post, the second one would NOT work again.
This is it:

Open up Open Live Writer Blog Settings & enter your Google/Gmail password (I used my Blogger password which is different)

(File >> Options >> Accounts >> Select 'Blog" >> Edit >> Update Account Information)
You will find the Password Box is empty (though user name with be a GUID)
Fill in the password (Google/Gmail) >> Next >> complete the update.

Now I hope it stays working. We’ll see.

First Snow


Trying out Open Live Writer again. I read that lots of people are having trouble using it. I did too for quite awhile but then last night it worked. Now I am wondering if it works again.
Here is the picture I just took. It looks very pretty but….. I don’t like driving in it, so now I am stranded

It did not work, so I used Blogger but I sure don't like it. Maybe in a year or so Open Live Writer have ironed out their problems. ;-)  I am just glad that I am not a prolific Blogger, otherwise I would be royally ticked off. (notice that I did not use a bad word? Was pretty hard not to though.)
Enjoy the season.

Open Live Writer


I am wondering if it finally works.
It is cold at night here but it was a nice and sunny day. Tomorrow is a different story.

update


Everything is working normally. I even started to have a closer look at the Edge browser and there are a few things that I like a lot. Might switch later on.
All is well and even the sun shines. Bonus.

Windows 10 Update

I installed the update yesterday and have had lots of problems. Half of my programs, some free some paid for, would not load. I solved some of the problems with the help of the program's service department but still others are not resolved. I really like using a computer but it can be very frustrating at times.
I hope that Microsoft will iron out the update soon.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

We have to be thankful for the bountiful harvest this year. It has not been this plentiful for many years.
I have been canning, freezing and drying for quite awhile now. It started with our egg plums, then pears, apples and prune plums. Lots of different types squash. The first time we had a large amount of onions too. Our beets are almost as big as a small head and sweet throughout.
I made lots of tomato sauce, tomato Juice, whole tomatoes and dried tomatoes.
The work is never ending and I shall be glad when everything is done.
We will not be starving this winter if all goes well.
So far we have 7 pounds of dried apple rings and there are more to come. We also gave lots of fruit to our friends.
Here are the rest of the apples.

There was just too much. I suppose that is a good predicament to have Smile.
Today I made green tomato relish.
Now I am off to fill the dehydrator again.

Big Pepper surprise

This green pepper was hiding at the bottom of the plant. I found it today. It weighs 414 grams which is almost a pound.
Our garden was particularly great this year. I just finished canning 36 quart jars of pear juice.
Earlier I canned 21 pints tomato sauce and I even forget how many quarts of tomato juice. Lots of tomatoes still on the plants. Hope the late blight does not get them.
I also tried to make a bit of plum-pear chutney but not sure if I like that.
Already there are several buckets of prune plums waiting for me in our cold room. Not sure how to process those.
Later on we have to pick all the apples. Lots of those this year too but luckily they are really good keepers, so no canning for those.
Tomato Vorlon

These are the best tasting tomatoes we have ever grown. They are a heritage variety and I am keeping seeds for the next years. Tomato seeds stay viable for many years.
I have been very busy Smile 
Good buy for now.
