Good evening Old Folks. I know I'm old after the day I put in playing in the dirt.

Is your okra patch in?

Rain has stopped and has been replaced with wind. Temps supposed to drop into the 20"s with feels like temps in the teens. I am not excited about this.

It only rained for a couple hours. Dh, and the kids have a fire going in the fire pit, and they're out there enjoying it.

Wish we could do stuff like that around here. Can't do so much as strike a match without setting the world on fire here.

We still have snow from yesterday and are under a winter storm watch for more. The high today was 32F and a low of 23F. I am seriously not excited about this either! I want spring!

We have allot of rain here no threat of flooding ever.
flat land here.
Did get the ham in the oven, the coops scraped and fed.
Sun is back out, was raining.

Is your okra patch in?

No that's about the last thing I plant. Okra doesn't like cold ground or nematodes. I am planting in multiple plots to be sure I do get good harvest. Since we found out that we can blanch in a dehydrator and store we shall store a lot more. It fries well or cooks down with tomatoes and onions after being stored dry. This will be the first time in a few years that we plant Pinkeye Purple Hull peas to go along with some Texas Cream 40's. Maybe a few Zipper Creams too. Zipper Creams are easy to shell but just do not have the yield of the first two.

We do have American White Bresse chicks in the brooder so we can have grilled chicken, fried okra, and Purple Hull peas for Sunday Dinners.
