Sunday morning funnies

bfast- slab bacon, eggs, chiabatta toast, juice ,coffee
lunch--cheese sandie, water bottle
dinner-- pork chops, salad, noodles,fresh veggies, juice

If it looks like we are eating better than most. dont grin . wife has been finding deals and stockin up the 'stead. She got 10 pounds of bacon for 9 bucks.. 3 dozen eggs for $2. the veggies are all coming from the market and the chiabatta is $1 a bread at wholey paycheck market. She really knows how to get the most bang for what few bucks we have. She buys in bulk and makes good use of the clearance items to further save us money. Plus my gallavants thru the dumpies add in greens, veggies, assorted goodies but due to the economy and others hittin the dumpies to survive my back door shopping has been facing dwindling rewards.

Spent yesterday rakin and compostin the leaves turning the soil in the new bed , adding nutrients etc in the other beds and doin some general housekeeping around the yards. The Rosemary and transplanted mint are still thriving in the pots as long as we move em around as it gets cold.. What a great scent as you enter the porch due to the scent of Rosemary as the breeze blows thru. The little herb garden we acquired is still going goo out on the porch, though pretty sooon we will have to move it inside.

I have been thinking again about the shed project that has lay dormant in my mind and unaccomplished over the last 2 summers. Maybe this year.. We def could use the extra protected room. Both for projects , works in progress, cold storage and also for plant protection during the coming winter..
