Fall planting with 100 degrees? Let's make salsa instead!

Its moving toward mid-September and its been over 90 for the past two weeks.  I have processed at least 40 lbs of tomatoes, and made salsa enough for a year in a Mexican Restaurant.  We will be able to enjoy tomatoes for the entire winter.
But, alas, the heat won't help my cool weather planting.  Its too hot to plant my greens, beans and cauliflower.  I'll just have to wait until the weather breaks.  I am busy running events for my day job anyway, but when I get back next week I'll have to start picking my apples.  I ate one yesterday, right off the tree and they are just about ready.  Another two or 3 weeks will do it.  We could use some rain too.  No new tomatoes are sprouting and all the green ones are ripening at the same time.  Too many at once!!!!  We'll be eating tomatoes 24/7!
Along with the crazy weather, we are renovation our home.  Steve has removed two walls in between the living room, dining room and kitchen.  We now have a true Open-Concept house. He is now busy building custom cabinets, our sink, pot-filler and faucet will be in this week.  Now to pick out the counter top and have them come and make a template. Ouch, its all expensive when you do so much at once.  Thank God we have free labor.
Our mallard duck has begun layer her eggs.  I have moved 4 of them this week, under the road runner nesting chicken.  We'll see in 3 weeks, we may have more babies this fall.
We now have 3 male ducks and 1 female.  Two males are pekins, you know, the Aflac ducks, and one male is a mallard.  One of the white ducks wants the female, so he keeps chasing the male mallard away.  He is being terribly obnoxious and we have to go out there and yell at him to make him stop. Crazy ducks. The other white duck is sedate as he lost his mate to a critter awhile back.  He just follows every other bird we have.

Here is the salsa Recipe I used last weekend:
4 lb. ripe red tomatoes
2 tbsp. lime juice,
2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and diced
2 tbsp. fresh cilantro
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin, ground
1 small onion, minced
1 fresh garlic clove, minced.
I threw all ingredients into the food processor and pulsed, adjusted seasonings (like add more jalapenos if needed) then pulse until chunky but blended.  This makes 1 quart.
