Thanks for the coffee! I slept later than I wanted to this morning. Going to the feed store an hour away. Good to see you @Messybun i hope you hear from your boyfriend soon.
My Daddy was in the navy for all of WW2, was not allowed to tell family where he was. Of course his mom worried about him. He sent her a man’s tie with a hula girl on it. She was puzzling over why would he send her a man’s tie, with a hula girl on it no less. His cousin finally got it and exclaimed, “ I know where he is! He’s in Hawaii!!”
Loose lips sink ships.
With today’s technology, that saying no longer applies.

Good to see you too! At least you got some rest.
Clever.
Unfortunately people have no clue about that saying🤣 growing up it was deeply instilled in us kids that we don’t talk about where our dad was when he was deployed. Never said a word, and taught others to keep their mouths shut about their dads too. And that was less than 2 decades ago.

It's ready to be brewed so fix a cup or pour a glass of HOMEMADE Iced Coffee then let's meet on the patio to greet the day in the 58 morning air.
Last night for dinner FH and I had dry rubbed GRILLED pork chops with STEAMED Asparagus and carrots. Tonight's dinner is going to be beef kielbasa (cut into thin rounds and browned a little) mixed with angel hair pasta (just trying to use up the pasta we have in pantry), broccoli florets and white cheese sauce. Dinner will be between 5-6pm if anyone wants to show!
Speaking of FH he got called back into work last night to go sweep abound 1 1/2 hours after he got home from working all day and he has to work again today as far as I know. I haven't heard from him since he went back in and I'm kinda worried seeing how it's NOT like him to not be in contact with me.

My family is fighting off a cold. IDK if DH finally got the one that has been lingering for a month or if he brought something new home.

Usual morning -- coffee, chores and I'm leaving for working in a few. Just half a day, then home for some farm work.👍🤞
Looking around the living room I see trays of leaves "everywhere". Might need a rake. I have things drying for later salves. Comfrey, plantain, beauty berry, mullein, etc., plus seeds from corn, tomatoes, peppers. Weekend project to bag, crush & oil, etc. In a month, some will become useful. Winter projects.
I have some volunteer samplers to tell me if/ how well these work. May be a one time effort or? Something I've wanted to experiment with for a while.

On the last of the coffee. Still lounging around, lazy. Got a spot shower last night, another a little while ago and a storm coming in tonight. Need the rain! I got a leaky tire on the truck, been plugged twice. Not ready for new tires, gonna take truck in and have tire fixed again. Today might be a good day for that. I’m not real motivated for much of anything today.
