“Yesterday was another Pearl Harbor Day. Thoughts, prayers, and thanks to all our service members in past and current.”

Two thoughts on that:

Dad, who doesn’t remember much and is moving to Assisted Living at the end of the month and is a Navy Vet made SURE to tell me it was Pearl Harbor Day when I saw him on Thursday, this week. :)

Secondly, there was a guy giving away paper poppies for a donation when I bought gas that same day and we had the BEST conversation about us both being Veterans. I LOVE it when I can (mildly) shock these guys by telling them that I’m a Veteran, too. I love it! I LOVE hugs from Vets that went before me!

*HEART*

Other than that, all I have left to eat from the garden is KALE and Sweet Potatoes and some Butternut Squash - which I need to get to real quick to bake and freeze.

I have spinach and salad greens growing under lights, and I always have salad sprouts sprouting!

We’re supposed to get our first snow tonight - only an inch or so - and it’s been below normal COLD by us - high 20’s in the day and teens at night. But, we got our furnace fixed and a fresh filter in her and the fireplace has been cleaned, so we’re all good. ;)

I don't have much gardening to talk about any more but just finished posting about a beautiful poppy and my disappointment that I wouldn't be able to get it to produce seed for more the next year. It's a thread about GMO foods if anybody is interested.

Hi everybody.

Quick question.

Half the tomatoes and squash this year were unusable due to

some kind of blossom end rot deal.

I bought a bag of gypsum at Lowes and plan a heavy

application soon and maybe by planting time, things will be

good? Am I on the right track?
