Yesterday (and today) was one of those very August days — we made dill pickles and beetroot soup for winter.
And Helmī discovered the ultimate trick for peeling a mountain of onions without crying: swimming goggles! 😂
Honestly, I’m impressed. She looked ridiculous, but she was the only one with dry eyes.
The winter pantry is slowly getting ready! And I love it!
Tonight, though, we have something special planned: watching the solar eclipse!
I hope we can do that, cause it’s a bit cloudy 🙂
August, right?

P.S. My doctor decided to continue my sick leave, so I’m getting a little more time to slow down and find my balance.
Think about special goggles for viewing the sun !!!
I have the ones, that whole EU are buying 🙂 Made in Cēsis, Latvia with certificate and everything 🙂
She’s smart! Onion tears can hurt. I hope you can see the eclipse, its not visible everywhere.
Great idea for the onion peeling job. And I’m glad to hear you will have the right protection for watching the eclipse.
Now that was good thinking on a way to peel onions without crying. Enjoy the solar eclipse. Hoping the extended sick leave works well and you are back feeling great very soon. Hugs
Am getting ‘wiser’ and laughing – asked Mr Google before I came to see you whether the solar eclipse could be seen in Latvia and he said yes . . . for over an hour! So, hope you got a glimpse 🙂 ? Hope the extra time off work will be productive . . . and am clapping for the clever onion peeling by Helmi . . . hope you have lots of glass jars ready for all the garden goodies for the colder months . . . enjoy!
