my prep for bad weather amounts to making sure the propane refill is on-order if we are getting low and getting out the snow shovels and brush/scraper for the car windshield. oh, and if the power seems to be flickering i'll fill up an extra bucket of water to flush the toilets.

livestock including deer will eat it so if you don't want to attract deer you'll need to protect it.

rained off and on through the night. garden club meeting today in the afternoon. i'll be reading and puttering around. library time is always fun for me. will take some beans to shell out and sort through.

i work in energy chunks. that is how much energy my body has is how long i work, that chunk. when i'm done i'm done. lately it has been about three and a half hours of mixed digging, weeding and scraping. the digging is the hardest part and i take breaks to rest a bit as i'm doing it...

i had a funny dream about a dog riding on top of a car in a big pyramid bottom that was chopped off and hollowed out and the dog was so excited to be able to ride up top of the car that it couldn't really decide where to be so it kept scampering about and being excited. the pyramid bottom was...

in honor of that idea i'll have some every day. yesterday was graham crackers with cream cheese frosting (which was not too much sugar, but at least enough that it was sweet). today might be a repeat or some chocolate of some kind, with or without peanuts, or both, or all of the above.

worked on putting up the SE garden inside the fence. will have to do some dirt moving to smooth things out but generally done and weeded so if i don't get right to it it will still be ok.

*mmmmmMMpphhhfffffFFF!*

hmm, when i read about plants doing that sort of thing it sounds like they may exploit any cracks in that wall and cause potential problems, so i hope it is sealed up well! :) and while it is ok to rest a bit for a few days after a back strain it is also still important to keep moving because...

whupass comes in all sizes...

i'm not usually around people other than Mom and she doesn't care much about things like that. if it is warm enough and i'm out in the gardens i have a long sleeved shirt on but the front is not buttoned so i get some air flow. so i am in fact bare chested. however, you won't ever see it, so...

it really helped me when i picked it up. i was having trouble falling asleep. after a few months of practice it started making a difference, plus the exercise was good for me. :)

i do that in my sleep...

welcome aboard. :) i'm guessing those beans are not fully dried yet and will get darker with age?

as much as possible you want gravity to do the work for you when it comes down to moving large amounts of water. look at the size of the canals they have for the amount of water they are moving. the pipelines and pumps for oil just are not big enough in comparison. check out these links...

oh, and since i'm on the topic of weather, the inflows to Lake Powell have been great the past few days as they've had such rotten flows over the past few years that this is the first time they've gotten above the highs for those past few years. a measly 15,000cfs... this sets up the ground...

i was just checking out the national radar and saw what looked like snow happening up that ways to the east of you... brr! not ready for that here yet, but it can happen at any time now. we had fog here this morning when i went out to put the trash at the curb. there was enough fog that i...

was able to get outside an picked some dry beans and got another garden mostly put up for winter. i still need to move a little dirt around but that won't take long when i get back out there again (hoping tomorrow).

well in one season you've gotten probably two or three times the total production i ever got from several years of attempts. :) i gave up. such a pretty bean.

decided to hold off on cooking today because we have enough food in the refridgerator and i'm doing some laundry. my pillows and the inner two pillow cases (i end up using four per pillow) were looking rather sad and so it was time. i have the pillow cases soaking in the sink with some bleach...
