We’re getting a good rain event, yesterday afternoon and today. I’m hoping for an inch of precip, maybe more. I’m tired of watering already! I’m also hoping this is a sign that the predicted severe drought will stay away this spring. I’m not confident, mind you; simply wishing. The lows the next two nights might be [...] Man, I hate it when that happens. A late freeze, I mean. I’d already declared Winter dead and Spring sproinged back in mid-March when the temperatures reached about 90 hereabouts. That’s hot enough, right? Now way could it freeze again after that. Dang Global Warming stuff. I had 30+ tomato plants out, a large area of radishes, [...] Stew? A hearty soup? Chili? Maybe something from the slow cooker?

Cold; oh so cold! How cold is it? It’s so cold that stainless flatware is sticking to tongues.
When it’s this hot, we don’t get out and move around a lot. Oh, we grilled sausage for lunch (it was very good). I say “we” because it’s polite. However, it’s also a Royal “We.” I stayed inside and made sure the margarita machine ran on schedule. (It’s particularly tough duty, that; but we [...] |
