Rain broke and it cleared up a bit so I made a water run. I lose a lot with the jury rig setup I have to transfer water from on IBC tank to another so I’m going to Menard’s tomorrow to get an actual transfer pump. Also moved the one tunnel IBC tank to line up with tunnel side for gutter.

Just looked. Rain totals for this storm show about 9” in an area north of Lebanon. I think you are east of that so I do not think its there yet. NWS US Gov storm total radar gives about 3” here, but I’ll bet it gives a higher total in the rain gauge.

I planted a number of sweet potatoes last week so this works well. I have already picked several braces of Sweet 100 tomatoes. I saw an Annannas Noir breaking color this AM, but need to wait til it stops raining to go in and pick it.

The deviled eggs were a success! Two of us had signed up & a third person also brought eggs ... plenty for everyone. I brought home 6 (out of 40) & mom will have them eaten up by tomorrow.

One of the church members is a professional cook. Everything he makes is really good. He was doing fried chicken for the crowd today. I was packing up my egg carriers when he stopped by, pointed to my carriers & said 'those are the ones I've been eating- they are the best ... did you make them?" When I said 'yes', he said again they were the best eggs :-)

So thanks again for the recipe ... my status as a decent cook has been further enhanced!


Actual picture of what I took to church today.
