I'm up early although against my will. Now that I am dog care taker number one, I have dog duty. Most days he curls up with me, but today, he was up and begging to go out. So up I am.
I haven't have enough coffee yet, and already deleted a comment accidentally. I hope that isn't a sign of how my day will be today, ha ha!
Yesterday I put up the last of the dandelion greens into the freezer. I was afraid they would go bad before my dehydrator arrived. And like all things you try to plan, my dehydrator arrived after I froze the last of the greens.
I put up another two heads of organic cauliflower too. I don't have a lot of space for ice, so I have to freeze veggies little by little this time of year.
I got a teensy bit of handiwork time on the porch. This time of year, is the only time of year, I paint my nails. It's national novel writing month, and rings and nail bling are my muse this month. The weather quickly turned colder after the kids got home. I expect very cold nights this weekend.
Since I had to use pure aloe plant for my rash and hands, I resorted to buying some organic aloe gel too. My plants are pretty butchered, but in the process of buying the aloe gel, I received an instruction booklet. I never really looked into all the benefits of aloe. Did you know it works great for acne? So when a homecoming bound daughter broke out, she used it and in one application, her face was healed.
Late last night we ended up putting a hen in the bathtub. She's egg bound. Anyway, she was perky after her soak, although no egg. We may need to put her in warm water again today.
Hubby had another interruption on cutting down those dead trees. I just sighed and walked away. He was required to go to work this morning, so the trees stand. He knew I'd be worried, mad and frustrated, so he waited to the last minute to tell me. He was to get up early and go get chainsaw blades today. This is so frustrating, although I am trying to be patient, but they are a risk to leave standing. I may just have to pay the high fees and hire someone before the snow arrives.
My licorice root arrived yesterday, so I have another "concoction" recipe I can play around with next week.
Enjoy your weekend!

I brought in another pot full of kale too. So happy to get this much from it this year.

Aloe really is fantastic, isn't it? Can't be beat for burns and now I know it's good for acne, too. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes it seems that when we really, really want one job done, the whole world (!) interferes with getting it done. Let's hope the tree cutting really gets done this weekend.
We're still confused a little bit ourselves, not being hungry at dinner time, suddenly becoming horribly so an hour later, so we're trying to keep that in mind and adjust ourselves.
Sorry to hear about the tree plans getting derailed, but ya never know - it may be God ordained with you finding you need the extra $$$ for an unplanned emergency around the bend.
Praying for a safe happy week ahead for everyone reading this.
God bless.
