Saturday rantings (what did you do to prep this week)

I had to turn the water back on to the swamper yesterday as it was almost 80-85 in the afternoon. Without a cloud in the sky it was HOT. While scavenging we found about 2-3 pounds of potatos and onions and some assorted greens for the birds.
I also dug up some Yarrow from a neighbor lady who hated it in her yard . So now it will find a new home on the stead.
2 weeks ago I also got a milk crate full of unwanted Iris from the same lady. They also need to be transplanted in Gods little garden .

Anyhow the cold front last week seems to have slowed the zuchs and cukes down so we may have to dig them up soon and compost them. The sunflowers are pretty dry and gone. But the mums are doing well and I am getting lettuce coming in from the second planting. Yippee/

after the rain.. TGI Friday

The weather warmed up nicely yesterday and it loos like more zuchs are ready to harvest. When will it ever stop..
Anyhow this lil plant ws a baby at the bus stop at the beginning od spring. Now look at it..
I do every morning....

fall mornings at the 'stead

gotta love September mornings.

cold and rainy but now its 50

Parts of town saw the 1st snos yesterday.. Not us we saw rain and small hail. Since the weather was due to get into the high 30s I figured that I would shut the water to the swamper off just in case. As a precaution.. Good thing because as I turned the water off I noticed some gathered water around the bottom of the water heater.. Further examination showed a drip coming from one of the connectors on the cold water flow..
ie causing a trip over to Lowies to get a replacement.
it is getting to be that time of year whereby Trash needs to stock up on the essentials for prepping in the toolbox closet.
Anyhow Mrs Trash made a delicious dinner of chicken breast slices, rice and stir fry veggies (zuchs).. yumyum.. Gods garden is providing.. yumyum.

Yesterday 84 today 40

hmmmm. I am beginning to think the Farmers Almanac and my knees were right.
Is this a premonition of what is to come.. The mountains got snow and we see rain here. it was heavy this morning but now its a heavy mist..

zuchs and bike pics

I am testing the new digital camera to see how the pic quality looks on the blog.
