Coffee anyone ?

[SageHill]

Coffee's long gone, tea almost done - almost wine time .......
An accidental discovery with my new phone. Check this out -
I took a pic of a weed (no not the lambs) and saw the funny looking little "i" icon - clicked on it and got another screen that told me it was a plant (big deal ) but then clicked on the word "Plant" and got what it was!!! OK liking the new phone a bit more.
Though I've been here over 30 yrs I still don't have the automatic second nature knowledge of all the plants like I did when I was in the Midwest.

Good morning! Coffee is ready! It’s going to be a rainy day. I’ll find things to do in the house.

Coffee ready here, too! Drinking up. Brrrr at 35 on my porch! . Not something that makes you WANT to get out there sun is out -- that's a positive. Plus no winds, like yesterday. Not wanting cold yet.

It’s getting daylight here. It’s going to rain. Days like this, I stay in sloppy sweats and just put on my Carharts and rubber boots to go outside.

2 cups in I'm still tired. I got my start date for the masters program-January 30th 2023.That means I'm spending a week in NH sometime in April. I'm hoping there isn't still snow on the ground in April.
The wild Turkies around here are starting to get their little feathery mohawks, so they look super cute, they also visit my chickens every day as they're coming across the property. The chickens don't seem to be bothered by them, they all just stare at each other. I wonder what they're discussing.
Bees are wrapped for winter so up until Saturday, when it was 70 degrees-we had an unbelievable number of wasps hanging around. Today it's 41, so hopefully they've gone back to Heck where they belong.
I did hot tub maintenance on Saturday-emptied the tub and refilled it. of course I have a drip in one of the lines, which irritated me-so I used 2 rolls of silicone tape to fix it. The lines look like mummies, but they're not leaking.
The tub is a tiny inflatable one-nothing special-but it provides stress relief and soothes my back after a physically taxing call.It was our first purchase when buying the cabin. DH doesn't enjoy it like I do, but he does like that I put the small wine fridge next to it.
My next adventure is buying a Christmas tree for the cabin. That should be fun. The cabin is so small-it could almost qualify for the "tiny house" show, so finding a tree that doesn't take up ALL the space is going to be a challenge.
I'm working at the flower shop today-I'm looking forward to it! DH is down with the man-flu, so getting out for a few hours will be great! I'm on squad this evening until midnight, so I won't be getting much done after 6pm.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

We usually got a live potted rosemary or lavender "trees" when we had apartment. I generally managed to keep them alive thru spring and give to relatives.

Cup o Joe and a chai tea today. Long to do list regarding off ranch stuff. Cold rain off and on all day.

Second cup of tea - switching to tea for awhile - "healthier". Dr appt last week - cholesterol is up and I don't want to swallow pills. And Vit D level is "toxic" -- cutting the vit D and then we'll see about other things - one thing at a time! LOL - I must be outside in the sun too much! We all know that's not going to change.
Woke up to 43 and it's going to 68, layers on, layers off, layers on and evening fire in the fire place.

26° and 40° ARE cold this time of year, we haven't adjusted to winter yet. Last week high 50s, low 60s, this week either side of freezing every day/night

And Vit D level is "toxic" -- cutting the vit D

You must be unusual! Generally people are low. The fall I was diagnosed as low D I had been outside MUCH more during the summer than I had probably since before I was in college. And like most here, that was a LONG time ago.
