Coffee anyone ?

[promiseacres]

Thanks Baymule
I pray that it all goes well, I am sure you're both ready for it to be over . Am still working on ketchup...BBQ sauce may have to wait, can't find any liquid smoke locally. So might can another batch of sauce for BBQ sauce later.
Need to get the kids riding. Nice temps for a few, lows 50s and highs 70s.

Yes! go riding! All can wait while you go riding!

Order liquid smoke online if you have to, that BBQ sauce is GOOD!

can't find any liquid smoke locally

The one time I tried making bacon I had to order Liquid Smoke on Amazon (don't have a smoker). I remember my step father using it LONG before there was online shopping so it must have been sold in stores at that time.

Liquid smoke is available here in the grocery stores normally. I haven't looked lately. Will have to make an effort to look when I make a grocery store run.

No problem finding to buy here....just issues within the stores. Usually in condiment section near chili sauce, A1, etc. Good luck.

Sunny and upper 70s. Started upper 40s....heat in truck going to work....AC coming home. only couple hours work in am, then home a week! Good weather except any possible leftover rain from that hurricane maybe Sat night. They cut 30 ac of hay across the street today.

Coffee is on.
School, and church tonight. Probably get some household stuff done. Working on getting the pool winterized. Got the ketchup finished and some riding too yesterday.

It's a good day with weather. 65 now and mid 80s later....lots of sun! Heavy dew so boots on for now. Plan to power wash and paint during next couple days, between other chores around the farm. Lots to do. Leftover turkey pot pie for breakfast...help yourself. Coffee pot full. Enjoy.

Working on getting the pool winterized.

I've about got that covered ... other than moving the solar cover and reel into the barn. I dropped the pump off at a motor repair place yesterday. It sounds like a good thing that I won't need it for many months. I guess the guy is pretty busy.

Thanks for the coffee! Free day today so I'm heading into Big Town to get groceries and feed supplies. Good way to mess up a free day, but it's gotta get done. Beautiful weather is still holding, 70 today and blue skies.
This weekend we are getting back to reality with rain and looks like in the fifties for the future highs. Trees are all changing, I guess summer is officially behind us, but we still haven't had a killing frost. Harvesting the peppers today before I get caught out and they freeze unexpectedly.

Coffee is good! Mmmmm! We like to add a dash of cinnamon when it's brewing, kinda makes a bit richer flavor. This is just store bought coffee, though. If we pick and process it, then we don't usually add the cinnamon. Hmm, I should plant a cinnamon tree, my friend has one and her cinnamon is much richer flavored than the store bought stuff. Maybe because it's fresh? I don't know if she planted a particular type or not, I'll have to ask.

Dunno what's on the plate for today. There's a banana tree over at the rental house that may need harvesting since the renter doesn't seem to harvest bananas. There's more work on the fixer upper as usual. Maybe one of these days it will be done and ready to rent. We've been fixing and upping for over a year on it, although it was close to a tear down when we started.

One more trim board on the roof and there's the cross pieces in the stair railing on the other side, then the front lanai will be done. Hmm, I could put the skirting boards on it, too, I suppose, although those could be added later. I could put a real gutter on it, too, there's just a piece of gutter on one front edge to keep the rain off the steps. It will probably get rented before it's ever officially 'done'.

One of the bunnies is due to have a litter on Friday so I need to make sure she's got her nest all ready. And a friend is coming over later today to watch that political debate today. We will have popcorn and watch them. Then probably watch something a lot more fun afterwards to cheer up.
