I've been doing some heavy lifting lately, so my heated mattress pad and some early morning movement/stretches help keep me moving pain free.
Thanks! Go Texans!
That quote from Jurassic Park is true. "Life will find a way."
About half-way finished with morning chores. Checked some eyelids and found some pale ones. They'll get a special treat this morning, lol.
Up and at 'em this morning. Coffee is working its magic. Did some stretches and a little workout - more to come.
Texans play the Broncos today. Bring 'em on!!
Pretty sure the poacher was a banded water snake. I'm not very happy with him, but as long as he goes after the invader catfish and not my bass - I'll tolerate him.
Yikes - it would be easy to poke that spear into places it shouldn't go - it would require a good bit of caution!
Crazy busy couple of days. I got my chicks Thursday and they're all strong and healthy. Got my hatching eggs the next day. Population explosion - chicken math at its best - eeek!! Got all the adult chickens, with the exception of one roo, penned. Hopefully I can get some eggs now.
Set a...
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...
