[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 339809, member: 8617"] I sure would like to join in on the good morning updates. When I first saw them I though "it's morning but there isn't anything good about it". Now that I took the time to read a couple I see I have been missing out on all the fun. So here goes: Humidity is NOT my friend. I used to live in Arizona where it gets hot as hades but is dry dry dry. I am an air conditioning addict come summer time. As soon as I go outside I gasp from the steam room. Snowmageddon, yowza!! We get lots of snow and I'm not sure I like that either. I'd tell you to go have a snowball fight for fun, knowing full well I wouldn't bother myself. As much fun as I pretend to be I would rather be cuddled up inside. Not sure how I ever get out of the house now that I live somewhere that has actual seasons. The rain JUST stopped here. Our yard is a combination of bits of snow for looks and ankle deep mud. We poured several dumptruck loads of gravel for our driveway and parking spot but fell short of an actual walkway. We have about a 30 yard swamp to wade through between the cars and the side door. :sick: I'm jealous about the bean planting. I have a small stash of my seeds and am dreaming about spring. I got Asian yard long beans, purple ones. (love the heirloom varieties) difficult child gets lazy and will not help pick beans. Says he can't see them. (green on green) this season I have a plan. If he can't find 2 foot long purple green beans on green bushes he can't eat!! :winking: Breakfast today was baked french toast out of banana bread I made last night. Had turkey bacon because I have to keep the pretense of eating healthy. Been spending the rest of the day cooking. got a wild hair I guess. Doing a slow rise, sourdough pizza dough. (I'm big into all day long artisan breads) Have fresh sauce simmering. Later going to slap together a couple pizzas. Those, a salad I made and some deserts I made yesterday (boston cream pie and hot fudge pudding cake) will go across our yard and driveway to husband's grandparents house. Tonight we have a mid sized family gathering to eat and play cards. Our game of choice is pinochle. I used to think only senior citizens play that. We are fiercely competitive and it is a special happy time for difficult child. Since he doesn't socialize the Saturday night card games are his reward for being good all week. Oh yeah, had a sheep die, the friendliest one too. Sheep are not very hardy creatures. If you even look at them too hard you could kill them of hurt feelings. *sigh* My hair brained scheme to be a shepherdess turned into expensive pets and now yet another life failure.:whiteflag: I'm sticking to buying lottery tickets for my retirement fund.:smart: blah blah blah, boy am I a chatty cathy today. Someone cut my string. [/QUOTE]
