Good morning everyone. Got to finish shucking the corn after the chickens are seen about. I slept quite well last night with uninterrupted sleep for over 7 hours. That is rare. Maybe getting a 4 months supply of sweet corn put in freezer had something to do with it. I think there is about...

Goodnight Old Folks. I stayed up way to long after my bedtime.

I'd be happy if I could just take up walking again like I did while still at an office job. After 5pm some days I would walk 10 miles. During bad weather I went to the gym and used a treadmill with a beautiful view of a lake with wildlife on it. When weather allowed I got to use the track at the...

Done with the corn for today. Taking a break before making coop rounds. Not as hot today but hot enough in the upper 80's. May get more rain by the weekend but I'm not counting on it.

A major portion of my life was spent in FL down in the south central area. A tidbit of info I read once about the state is that it is farther from Key West to Pensacola than it is from Pensacola to St. Louis, MO. There are many different weather patterns in such a long distance. During the time...

For pressure canning big batches of green beans and tomatoes we have a pressure canner that does 14 qts at a time on a lowered down outdoor propane cook top. Anxious to get it going.

Good morning Old Folks. Got my buckets of corn the buckets for shucks, a pan for the shucked corn, and a gallon can to put the worms in for the chickens. My day has started. Already tended necessary coops.

It's out and we are processing today. Most will go in the freezer but a few pints may get canned in the countertop electric pressure canner as a trial. We always need some things canned for hurry up meals that only need to be warmed and not cooked.

Hello and Goodnight Old Folks

Sweet corn is out. Finished right at dark. Covered up a cart load for early morning processing. Both of us to tired and worn out to do any more today. Didn't dare not cover it but didn't want to either. It's going to be cool tonight so I think it will be ok. This is from a patch that was to keep...

Now my harvesting the mid season sweet corn will have to wait until around 6pm. I'll have an hour and a half to get it into buckets and up to the house. Some may yet get processed tonight but most of it will tomorrow. Back to the low 90's tomorrow.

Instead of a forecast drizzle we have had a real monsoon dropping our temp from the mid 90's to the mid 70's. AC not needed the rest of the day.

We have a nephew that lost his thyroid in his early 20's. I don't know what all he has to do now and we never see him anymore. He had moved away already.

I've started monitoring my fasting blood sugar every morning now. Finally have it under control. This morning I had it down to 95. I know now what I can have with my meds at bedtime. Sadly pina colada cake is not one of them.

I was wet and a little thunder shower started up and I dared it to rain hard on me so it did. Some days you have to use your brains on those clouds overhead.

66 is still young but plenty old enough to be counted as an Old Folk. It's a great place to share your thoughts and news of special projects that keep you moving.

It's time to Rise and Shine Old Folks and show these kids how it's done. :old:celebrate

Goodnight Old Folks

95° outside with a 4 mph breeze. Still feels like 99° but I think to me it feels more like 109°

All the kids are fed and watered. I'm back in my chair with AC and a ceiling fan going. Got to cool down. Feels like around 94° out here now. Weather says feels like 91° but it is always hotter here than at the airport.
