warmed up some frozen veggies (mixed, plus some lima beans) and a hot dog with mustard for each of us (grilled at one of my brother's place on MD and put in the freezer for such days as these). perfect for both of us, plus a square of good chocolate as dessert. nap then called us and when i...

yes, plus some decorations might beg for attention and then when people stop to gawk they may wander around and appropriate other items...

the local town did take some damage from the storms last night, big trees down and power out. i'm not sure if there was any tornadoes involved in that or not. i didn't even know there was that kind of damage until i signed on the check the weather radar for this early evening - i have some...

as the season goes on and muscles regain strength more will get done, it is important to not make things worse by overdoing it too much, but also to do enough that you do gain strength. it's a fine line we walk, us old-timers... :) for about a week i can shift back to cleaning up gardens and...

planted four small rows of beans, mostly Purple Dove and a few outcrosses mixed in to provide yet more potential mayhem. rained last night and this morning. next week forecast is looking good and hope for no more hard frosts. i had to do some weeding of the pathway behind the fenced gardens...
