Dirty dish pile started early Thursday morning. Sausage/potato egg burritos with cowboy candy.
I canned more strawberry margarita jam.
Froze more strawberries.
Froze more strawberries.
The rain just poured down on us.
I had herbal infused oil to strain, and a tincture to strain. I had dishes to wash of course too.
It' literally poured and poured all afternoon. I had to turn the dehydrator off until the thunder and lightning stopped. I also couldn't feed the chickens until it stopped. The front of our yard flooded and the field across the street.
When I did get out to the barn, and to the mailbox, my heart sank. My potatoes and radishes were completely underwater. By evening, the field east of us flooded, spilling over the highway and into our front yard, flooding the road. City crew came out with signs, just as I was calling them. Didn't matter though. I literally poured a glass of wine and sat on the porch. I thought I would be calling 911, since idiots ignored the signs. I saw a truck fish tail and a jeep just about wipe out. Just a few people slowed to drive through it, but almost every other one plowed through it, throwing water twice the height of their vehicle.
Friday morning, the sun came up brightly, and we had zero rain. Whew! I checked on the potatoes when I fed the ladies. Oh, speaking of the ladies, I am pretty sure out of the 7 chicks I bought, I have 2 ladies and 5 gents. So, I'm planning on keeping two, giving one to a friend, and offering 2 to a family member who mentioned they want to start raising chickens. We'll see how it goes I guess.
I got the new grill parts were installed and we fired it up for dinner Friday night. What a beautiful day!! The weekend will be dry, sunny and beautiful!
