Coffee anyone ?

I am craving a good homemade pound cake.

Bake it tonight and then toast some for breakfast tomorrow morning!

Bake it tonight

Like -- tonight while it's only 75 instead of 100???? I could always throw a couple loaves of zucchini bread in there at the same time.

Yeah, AC is on but it's not having fun! Hey, I might do it anyway. Depends on how much more I do outside -- and still able to function.

I'd sure eat it for breakfast...just slice & eat...yum!!

Absolutely, lol. That's what AC is for! And Zucchini bread too. If you're gonna use the oven - stuff it full of everything you're craving.

Coffee is on. Need to get more weeding done. Going to process the zucchini and freeze some beans today. Hoping to get the cabbage shredded and in the freezer also. Had our first corn last night. Yum!
Did manage to get things done yesterday... wasn't smooth but it all got done. Tire was low on our pick up so praying it just need air. And not a nail. Hoping to butcher the rest of the bunnies this week too. Yards need mowed too. I am sure that I am forgetting something.

Thanks for the coffee, it sure is good this morning. Going to plant sweet corn this morning. Daylight is dawning! Yesterday I picked a wash pan of tomatoes, a dozen Thai long beans and a handful of Kentucky Wonder beans. I had to work hard to find the KW beans, think nest year I’ll switch to a purple podded bean. I was sweat soaked, stayed busy all day and finally got a shower at 9 last night. Planting corn this morning, gonna clean out freezer this evening plus the last bag of chicken leg quarters. Will thaw and cook it for canning dog food tomorrow. So I’ll be heating up the house, like the heat needs any help. Next batch of tomatoes I can will be in half pint jars. That will be the just right size for eggplant Parmesan and other dishes that don’t need a quart or pint. Y’all have a good day, I’m off to take a sweat bath. LOL

Morning yall coffee sounds good. I so tire of the heat. I lost another pig. So the two smallest died. I did an autopsy as ordered and well i be the novices i am haven't a clue. But I sent pictures to v who said it was from heat and also that her liver had been damaged from bad feed... i dont feed anything that would have caused that so we agreeded the previous owner must have. I am not even sure what to do anymore. A sale all but gruff and buy just feeders, b hang in there, or c add more stock later.

It's lunch time. I've finally dried off enough to feel I could sit in a chair. Been out with chores and farm stuff all morning. There's a breeze but, it feels like one that's coming from the dryer vent. Sure a hot one. Need to mow the yard but, not doing or it will be just a brown rug in a day.

Grass is crispy. We NEED RAIN. Both side of me are farms with corn that is 6-7' tall and curling up. Those tiny ears with silks, tassels and curling leaves. Gonna lose these crops if no rain soon -- esp with the high temps. Nothing seems to be coming along. What a shame.

Glad I bought some hay from the cut/bale a month or so ago. Need it now! It's fresh and good quality. I have some grasses -- the hot weather bermudas that they can all eat for a couple hrs, then I move them off to keep it going....eat the hay, they get some grains. It's costing more than usual this time of year. Everyone is laying in the shade right now. Haven't even SEEN any of the cats this morning.

Did NOT bake last night. I was "done" after the cheese & clean up. Had a glass of wine. At least there were empty jars for milking this morning and space in the frig. Only 6 gal in there now. I'd love a grilled steak tonight but, too hot to even light the grill. Looks like a salad & sandwich night will happen.

Yep -- we're all struggling thru these odd weather happenings.

We NEED RAIN.

You can have some of mine. We're pushing 5 inches since 4am this morning. I mean....we needed a little rain - but this is almost bordering on overkill, lol! Oh, and to top that off there might be a little "something, something" tropical in the gulf that might bring us some more rain towards the weekend! YaY?

Going to hit the garden this morning and pull weeds.

You can come do my garden when you are done with yours

more asparagus. The asparagus is really doing well this year, it's crazy.

Really?? Wow, asparagus is LONG passed here and we are a fair bit north of you.

Bake it tonight and then toast some for breakfast tomorrow morning!

That wouldn't work too well with MIL's pound cake. It tends to receive a lot of booze after it is baked

Tire was low on our pick up so praying it just need air. And not a nail.

I got tired of taking tires to the mechanic and bought one of those plug kits. Not real hard and a lot more convenient. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you have one too and are just hoping not to have to mess with it.

Got it done. And made chocolate zucchini bread and Cole slaw. Tomorrow is butcher day.
