Coffee anyone ?

Checks out! Beans, beets, and wheat app count as vegetables, right? And milk and eggs are already healthy. Everyone knows that.

Coffee and brownies! Brownies are good breakfast food.

I'm all in!! Alas, no brownies ready to eat right now. But, good coffee.

That zipping me along, chores and then --- I made 2 qts of ricotta cheese. Cleaned all that up. Emptied DW from last night ... I'm about ready for lunch. Yep, missed breakfast. Need to make a loaf of bread, too. Then go milk. Still have 5 gal to work up. More cheese to make....guess I'll be sharing more cheese & milk!

It's a lot of work bein "self-reliant". Haven''t even touched on what else is out there waiting for me to do. This is a full time job.

Just came in from picking s half bushel of Purple Hull peas. Heat index is 110 F degrees. Gonna give these to Robert. We have all we need. Supposed to get rain tonight, that will help the peas. As long as they make, I’ll pick em and give em away.

Mmmmm........ having my own Starbucks coffee break. If I have Sheep, would that be StarRams? Anyway, iced leftover coffee, lots of cream and wasaay too much sugar. Coffee BEANS, sugar BEETS and DAIRY, here I go with that health food thing again.

brownie snack time! my girls picked me more roma's so into the dehydrator they went, they helped wash them too. Yesterday I sent them out to pick green peppers...for supper of stuffed peppers. They filled a 5 gal bucked just with the bell's. so had plenty. Got the rest we didn't eat in the freezer minus 10 for friends.

I really need to get on top of the melons too. DS and I cleaned up the garden fence... had to trim my cherry tomato plant....

It poured down rain last night. It’s raining now, supposed to rain all day. Drinking my cup of coffee, thanks PA. I’ll have to go out after while and do chores. I think this might be a wet winter.

I love a good cantaloupe! Field ripe watermelon -- but not those 1/2 ripe things in stores! Next yr, I hope to grow cantaloupe. This year, didn't sprout where planted. Always "next year" -- Right?

It is soooo humid today. Overcast, 105 feel like, they say....110 tmrw. Just grin & bear it. Hope to get something done outside, today. Tomorrow I have to go to "work"... only day this week. It's ok.

Finishing my coffee, had a couple sausage patties....emptied dehydrator of the red/green peppers. Will make more cheese late day. DS is supposed to replace these 2 porch posts today. Sure hope so!! I just want it done so I can get all the rails, etc. pressure washed & painted, while the weather is good and I have the time & mood to do. Should be a few days of "decent to paint" during this month. May get to the shed side panel painting today. Looks promising


ETA: Bay -- you said you needed rain!!! Congrats, it's there!
