it was cold enough here to frost last night. i drank some hot water this morning to get started. i'll probably read for a while this morning to wait for the dew to burn off and for the day to get warmer before even thinking about going outside to get a project further along.

i remember my first trip driving across to NM from St. Louis and seeing in the distance what i thought to be a lone tree. it turned out to be a sign on an overpass.

i think i can plant some peas any time after tomorrow. the coldest night in the forecast is for tonight at 34F and one night of 38F later this week.

we were at a Thanksgiving Dinner at a church one day some years ago and we'd sat down and these four ladies i know came over and sat by us. they said they were in a hurry because they had to get back home to watch LW. Mom and i just looked at each other...

glad you got some decent rest at last there @baymule :)

i love eggs, but they don't love me. allergy shots took care of my worst reactions to them, but i can't eat a lot of them. a hard boiled egg with ketchup and hot sauce or a pickled egg is really nice once in a while. my main problem now that i'm older is the smell of washing up after cooking...

we made bean soup this morning, using left-over ham from last Sunday. a little thin and the beans could have cooked a bit longer (they were still done, but a bit firm), but it was edible. good thing as we have a large glass bowl of it to eat plus eight quarts that somehow have to be given away...

played in the dirt getting some quack grass removed - still a long ways to go but every little bit of progress helps. :) yesterday was adventures in same, plus more groundhog burrow plugging up (moving some rocks, etc.) and climbing through raspberry bushes along the bank of the ditch in...

welcome to SS from mid-Michigan. :) i saw a rather large frog yesterday but i suspect it wasn't a native.

it was a beautiful day outside. only managed three hours this afternoon but i was dragging up the pathway at the end because i'd just moved some heavy rocks, plus working on a slope and not very stable myself, so very tiring by the time i was done. groundhogs are PITA... started out by...

i was out with the air rifle to scare off the groundhog. later on it was back again and ran away but i did take a shot at it anyways just to let it know it wasn't a good idea to be around. a bit later i heard a chainsaw over on the dirt road which we share with the neighbor who owns the land...

BIG YAY! :) :) :)

you overachievers, i'm already one nap in and feel like another would be ok, but too much to do and the day is running...

me too about the desk job. sorry to hear you're having troubles with your shoulder.

now there's a new word for me, "gummosis"... sadly it says good drainage which we don't have. i like tart cherries.

trip 5 (or is it 6 now? i've lost count) from washing machine repair people. at least he was here and saw what was happening. at first i was worried because we went through a cycle and it worked without a problem, but we then did another and it had the same issue as all along. just stops...

sleepwalking? :)

wow! that much rain that quick would be a flash flood event here. nice to have some time off to take a break for a few. i managed that today and really needed it and appreciated it. :)

ham, taters, bean caserole, rolls, salad, dessert. nice day with family. wish my nephew would have stuck around and talked more. still good to see him.

i've kept going by this one and resisted but only could for so long... actually i do prefer that he use the litter box...
