Thursday the wind kicked up about noon, but not too bad and it was raining. I dug out a few more bags of frozen garden tomatoes (frozen whole), and . . .
...simmered down some freshly made spaghetti sauce (seasoned with home grown garlic, herbs etc), dug out some frozen homemade meatballs and wah-la, dinner. A side of steamed broccoli (organic from the store, but organic).
If they were expecting a dessert, they were wrong. By then I had already washed dishes 3 times. I was ready to throw in the towel so to speak. Youngest had the day off from school, and I never saw hide nor hair from her until way after noon.
Instead of tornadoes they predicted we had a repeat of rain showers followed by sunshine and rainbows. It repeated all night. This morning, it's very windy and the cold returned.

This and That
The bathroom remodel is ongoing. Just trying to find a shower to fit to replace the old one, and someone to install the flooring (we may do it ourselves).
Go figure. I finally get a 60-70 degree day today, to clean the over loaded chicken coop, and the winds are expected at 45mph with the risk of bad thunderstorms.
We are still truck shopping. Hubby has a knack for this, so I am not a bit concerned. He knows what needs fixed on our one daughter's car, so that's ongoing as well.
Hubby announced he may be forced overtime on the day I booked the next craft show. If he works, I have to be a no-show, and that is bothersome. But....his income is far more than I could ever make a craft show. Time will tell.
We almost went on a motorcycle ride last night - high of 54°F, but the driveway was pretty wet yet. We stayed in. We won't be going on one today, unless the weather prediction is incorrect.
We are on the search for some old clay field tiles. I found some, but it's quite a drive. I'm hoping we locate a farmer around here with some laying around. I need some for the garden this year.
Not much else going on here right now. I should have some handiwork photos to share soon. Garden seeds are started, and I received free heirloom cabbage seeds from Baker Creek. I will be starting those today to see how those do in the garden.
