Pioneer Woman at Heart

It's beginning to look brighter, earlier in the days here.  Sunrises are pink and beautiful,and it does help with rising earlier now.  This cold winter has made me lazy in the mornings.  Happy Valentine's Day, by the way.   Hubby had to fix the gas line on our daughter's car (18 yr.).  Luckily, it's was fixable without buying parts.  However, my car needs back brakes now.  Not sure when or how it'll get done (too cold to work outdoors, and with his hours). I've been reading "sheet pan" dinner cookbooks from the library lately (when I have a few minutes).

Conversation while taking the laundry off the clothesline. Me:  "Honey have you seen what I've gotten done in the garden lately?" (which is a small start) Hubby: "Yeah." (looking out at the garden) Hubby: "Do we really have to take all that out?" Me:  "Well we can't very well till it in." Hubby: (after a long pause and sigh) "I guess we can't" (lowers head) Lots of hard work in the garden, and I imagine over the weekend.  We'll see what gets done I guess.  Potatoes have to cure for about 10 days before going in our potato bin.  This puts me in a bind for space.   No less, I dug the remaining Kennebec and more sweet potatoes on Friday, and brought in another 30#.  My kitchen will be a mess for another 10 days plus.  I guess I can live with that.  I just hope the food sharks (dogs) don't run off with any during the process.  The one thing I did not thing about - where am I storing the sweet potatoes...
