Still it remains about 20 degrees warmer in the room than outdoors. It got down to 9 degrees outside last night, so I did run the heater to keep it above freezing.
I brought in the lemon tree, aloe plant and some of the turmeric. Everything I left out seems to have survived without tips freezing.
Yesterday was another Pearl Harbor Day. Thoughts, prayers, and thanks to all our service members in past and current.
Have a great weekend. God Bless.
Pinging the list.
Hi Everybody!
((((HUGS))))
We are expecting snow this weekend.
Time to put the rake away and bring out the shovel. (sigh)
Thanks much for remembering Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941.
My 2 brothers and one sister served during WWII and they all came home in one piece even the brother who was a German POW.
I can’t believe it my self but I picked 32 more tomatoes this afternoon. They are not very tasty but they are fine in a salad. The weather here is frosty at night but lovely by day and is predicted to be that way for another week...
I talked with my uncle Thursday about Pearl Harbor and his WW II Navy service. I called him and wished him a happy Pearl Harbor Day. He was pleased I mentioned it. The whole family is really proud of his service.
It was another week of no rain here in Central Missouri. Saturday was cold and raw, but yesterday was very nice.
I should have spent some time yesterday cleaning up the kitchen garden, but got side-tracked helping #1 Daughter clean horse stalls. I built the walls from material that was left over from constructing the house. Not the best in terms of durability. One of them has been going downhill for awhile, and when I nicked it with Nanner’s loader bucket that was the last straw. It was too beat up to fix so I tore it out. Rebuilding them was already on the project list for this winter and I’ve got a good start on it now. I’ve already got most of the material on hand for the job, so it will be relatively painless to finish it up.
Thanks to the generosity of a family member, I’ll able to take most of a year off and focus 100% on my farm! I’ve already arranged with my employer to switch to seasonal instead of year-round. My last day for this season is the 23rd.
I’m really hoping to make more progress with my plant-breeding experiments, and to get my cash crops planted. I bought enough seeds for an acre of pleurisy root 2 years ago, but things kept getting in the way of actually planting them.
Anyway, this is the busy season at work, which is why I haven’t been around much. I’ll post more frequently after Christmas.
