Tired, Tired, Tired

Lordy, I am feeling my age lately.  Working on the old house, keeping up basics at our home, and working 40 hours a week has just about knocked me to my knees.  But we are still hanging there.  We just keep focusing on the light at the end of the tunnel.  
 We have to pick the tomatoes before they are ripe. The birds and bugs destroy them if we wait for them to ripen.
This is our second batch of dill pickles.  Plus I'm trying to dry some herbs for the winter.  Like I said, it's crazy around here.
 Molly is not much help protecting the tomatoes but she does chase the squirrels.
 I didn't get hardly any figs last year due to the squirrels eating them.
Not this year.  I think I've already frozen about 30 pounds.  I don't have any time to can them now so in the freezer they go.
