Granny's gone and done it again

[ShrekDawg]

Some severe storms went through during the night, 1 to 5 a.m. Couple of F1 tornadoes in KY, a neighboring state. Going to be much nicer today, lower humidity, temps in high 80's. I'll take it with gladness!

One of my "pullets" crowed this morning. Telling his mates in the brooder he got to sleep with all the girls, lol.

Sorry about the tornadoes but lol oh gosh

Great news, Granny! So.. do you know why you lost it? And how you got it back? Man that must have been gut-wrenchingly stressful.

I got up at 7:30 and took meds, fed Sophie, ate my breakfast and went back to bed for 2 more hours of sound sleep. Was up at 10am when daughter arrived and went out for coop checks for feed and water. The we all picked peas, a few green beans and tomatoes. Now I'm inside in the AC with a big bowl of fresh cut cantaloupe.

Oh and #2 daughter brought Brats. If it starts raining I'm taking another nap so I will be ready to pick peppers and eggplant this afternoon.

I used to pay my kids a penny apiece for the yellow flowers they picked out of our own yard and we would eat them breaded and fried for lunch. Delicious! The roots were dried, ground and used for coffee by the pioneers, and the greens are good fresh in salads as well as lightly steamed as cooked greens. The dandelion is a very useful plant, and if you let them go to seed you can make wishes on them!

I remember Mom making coffee with the ground up dandelion roots. I didn't remember how it tasted, just know us kids were allowed to drink it!

I had a neighbor that said she would teach me to make the dandelion jelly come the following spring. And when they started to bloom I showed up but she had passed away that winter and there was already another woman living in her place. Sad.

Mom made dandelion jelly, wine, greens,roots.. You name it
