coffee and waffles this morning then out to the garden. I need to weed and mulch the fruit garden replant the pots at the house. I’ve only gotten two catalogs so far this year. The SSE one and Gurney’s. Gurneys’s went straight in the trash after my last few experiences with them.
About to go toss out some more radish and lettuce seeds. Maybe some carrots. The batch I planted a few weeks ago got obliterated my the cold the week of Christmas. Also going to through out some old snap peas to see if they do anything. I don’t really care if they get frosted as I’m planning on...
We just finished off the last of 2020s canned black eyed peas an green beans in December. I also pulled a few carrots I missed out of the pots and to my surprise they weren’t woody at all. Frozen blueberries from the batch we picked at a friends house (not from my garden I know but we’re still...
I was planning on having tea this morning but since I fell asleep in the recliner waiting for the water to heat coffee sounds like a better idea. I had eggs and provolone and mushrooms for breakfast. Normally I add spinach but I couldn’t find any this morning. Now I need to get up and actually...
About half the places in my small town were open until 6 Christmas Eve including the fast food place I’m currently working at. Absolutely no where was open Christmas though. You’d have to drive 10 plus miles to get gas if you were paying cash because none of the gas station were open.
Actually got to sleep until 7 this morning had coffee cake and sausage balls with a cup of decaf while opening presents. Also made cinnamon rolls and had those for lunch. Currently feeling sick from all the sugar but am about to go carry dinner to my grandparents that are sick.
I was working the drivethru window window in the cold wind yesterday and could literally watch my hands chapping from the cold dry air. They went from normal to red and cracking in less than an hour.
We reached a grand high of 17 today at home. Luckily the 40mph winds out ahead of the cold front mostly dried the roads off before they could freeze so I was able to get to work safely.
Apple, Banana and green tea for breakfast. Planning on the the leftover Chinese food for brunch.
Really not looking forward to the cold and ice tonight. I’m hoping that either the rain ends early enough for the roads to dry off or that it will be icy enough to close the roads since work is...
Our lovely forecast for this week. Looks like I may end up having the whole week before Christmas off as I don’t have to be back at work until Friday and the local authorities are discussing closing the roads Thursday night-Saturday.
It’s cold but not freezing here. Highs in the 40s and 50s and lows in the 20s and 30s through Wednesday. Thursday we are supposed to have a cold front hit bringing rain and possibly ice and snow before the temps drop to somewhere around 12F. Then it won’t be above freezing again until late...
Thank. I’m alright for now. The severe stuff is supposed to stay a good bit south of us though we do have the ongoing flood risk. If this keeps up I may not be able to make into work in the morning.
I’m loving all the snow pictures. It’s warm and rainy here. We got like 4 inches this past week and are expecting another 2-4 tomorrow. The bridge was underwater yesterday afternoon. But was clear this morning. It will probably be underwater again tomorrow. I’d really like some snow instead at...
Had a tornado hit town last night. 1/2 a mile from us as the crow flys. No significant damage to our property or my work but we have siding and a piece of the roof of the building next door in our parking lot. Half of town is without power so it’s been crazy at work.
Severe storms moving in. Only got a tiny bit of rain so far but it was huge drops with some small hail. Mississippi and south Alabama both have active tornado warnings as I’m writing this.
About to go turn the car around and pull the cat crates out of the shed.
Warm and rainy yesterday and again day. I got my winter pots planted with lettuce and carrots and whatnot. I’m hoping to get some work done on the strawberry bed this week though as I’m back down to 4 days a week at work.
Tea and cereal this morning. I very rarely eat cereal these days. Less than twice a month, usually. But the stores got in cinnamon oat crunch Cheerios this week soo..
No work today so oatmeal and green tea for breakfast. I’m thinking strawberries and cocoa in it today. Maybe a fried egg to go with it. It’s raining right now so won’t be able to go work on the strawberry patch today.
