Thursday Thoughts

Breakfast!  Thrown together with whatever I had - onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, swiss chard, hot banana peppers, eggs, topped with pepper jack cheese ( a bit too much, ha ha).  I meant to add bell peppers too, but it slipped my mind.  I was multi-tasking.


Menu so far:

Southern Ground Turkey Casserole

Salmon Romanoff, green beans

Creamed peas and toast ( my Mom's recipe)

Leftovers


Miss Thelma continues to lay eggs in the feeder.  I looked around and found something to temporarily cover it.  Crazy chicken.


Woke up to 25°F this morning, but we should be up to 50°F later today.  I was so looking forward to the weekend.  It is to be a high of 56°F, but now they say rain.  Darn it all.  We have to split wood, work on a car, and help remove large furniture from my Dad's place.


Speaking of sweet potatoes in the breakfast, my supply of homegrown continues to supply us.  Although we didn't grow as much, my garlic is also supplying us (thankful for that).


We've been making up coming travel plans to get some R & R.  I'm praying those happen.  They are without the kids, but we'll be planning family travel for next summer soon.  The kids need to get out too.


I really miss having a large craft store close to home.  I am trying to find specific crochet books, and searching online has become a headache.  I'll try to check stores on the next trip to town.  I guess I can search Thrift books too.  You never know, and if one daughter stops at the thrift store, I'll have her check there too.


We have another stray cat.  It's a male.  Again.  Orange and white.  Oddly, one daughter caught our barn cat loving on him.  Strange.  She never likes un-invited cats.  We'll see if it continues to hang around.  The dogs won't like it for sure.

I've got sweet potatoe vine started, ready for spring, and I planted more garlic, we ran out I didn't plant enough. How many cloves do you plant?

Have you searched EBay for books? I find lots of stuff in EBay

I think I would have added some turmeric and cumin to your breakfast throw together. A healthy boost to the immune system when the weather is cold.

You talk about 25 degrees, but without the wood stove blazing (which it isn't in the morning) it was 52 degrees inside this morning. I hardly wanted to throw back my covers and get up.

Faith, I have to look in my journal, but over the years I've planted 80 or more cloves. However, now my family is smaller. I do grow extra to dehydrate and make garlic powder and minced garlic too.
M. Myers, I will check there too. Thank you.
Cockeyed Jo, I typically add garlic or what I call Fire Powder, but our dinner was loaded with cumin, chili powder and other spices too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
