We should be good today - winds in the 10-15mph range instead of the craziness from yesterday.
Hoping for a call from the post office this morning. Need to get my chicks in a nice warm brooder!
Brrrrrrr this morning. It's 44 degrees at wake-up. I've been waiting for this for a very long time but now that it's here...eeek! I need a couple days to adjust, lol. Winds were brutal yesterday - supposed to be calmer today. I'm counting on it - I've got things to do!
Aaaand - what did I do outside today. Nothing, nada, zilch! It's been crazy windy all day. Forty plus gusts with high sustained winds made it a no fun day to be outside. Not a good day to try to do anything except dodge the falling tree limbs. Any branches that were compromised just gave...
Cool front came through! Went from shorts and t-shirts yesterday to leggings and a hoodie today. Temps in the low 50's at wake up and it's cold in my house. I know, I know - this isn't cold for lots of people, but us weather wimps are feeling the change!
Got lots to do today - glad it won't...
WooHoo! We're cool! Temp in the low 50's, with a strong breeze, this morning! Makes the coffee taste a whole lot better! Hope to spend a good bit of time outside today.
Dinner last night was - what else? Eggplant, lol. Recipe was loosely based on this:

It was delicious!
Sleep! Such an underrated luxury, lol. Went to bed at 9am and didn't get out until after 6! Coffee is extra delicious this morning with a dash of Ceylon Cinnamon. Yummy!
Well, they're all being, or already are, processed at this point. Turns out that there were 18 in total - the 14 that I picked and 4 more in the fridge. Used several different methods. First - a huge pan of eggplant lasagna-ish. It'll make dinner for a couple days and I and I'll still have...
I think I'll do some that way for eggplant parm. Also going to bake some and freeze it as puree for casseroles. I love eggplant but this is ridiculous, lol!
Will wonders never cease! Now that I've got several hens in a coop I'm getting eggs again! I got all the birds that were in the backyard cooped but still have some running around the big barn. That's generally not a problem. They have a corner of the barn blocked off for them and a nestbox...
We got an inch in the morning round and another inch in the evening round. We had 2 inches Thursday for a whopping 4 inches in a couple of days. No standing water. It all soaked in.
