And those cookies look great, @troyer . Recipe???
Mary

Ingedients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup brown sugar packed
3/4 cup oats
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instuctions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (I use a regular aluminum cookie sheet without parchment paper)
Add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a mixing bowl and thoroughly combine, then stir in the chocolate chips
Form cookie dough into balls (golf ball size) and place on pan, slightly flatten the dough balls, I like to make them about 1/2" thick on the pan
Bake for 10-12 minutes, I only bake for 10 minutes, I don't know if elevation is a factor in how long to bake the cookies, you'll have to do the experimenting on what best works for you

Our elevation is 600' above sea level and this works well for me

Where is everyone? What cha all doing? Weather sure has been lousy. Hope everyone is well..

Hi Rose, I have been planting tomatoes and peppers and lettuces and a bunch of stuff. As well I have been remodeling some one the rooms inside. Yesterday was down with the edemas on both ankles but thank God today I am better. Miss ya lady!

No snow in this area. Expected some yesterday and today and nothing yet.


LOL Little Mamma is broody again. I guess she did not learned the lesson. I have some leghorn, RIR, ISA and EE and I am thinking of giving them to her. ...@Troyer

Sitting on 2 ISA, 2 EE ,and 3 leghorn eggs. I wonder if the come out with heart shapes like LoveChild

She was a champion last year. Best mama I have seen in my life. Hub went to get eggs yesterday and she hissed at him, he said that was scary,lol. I, on the other hand, can go check under and pet her and she will not even hiss at me. She fully trusts me. Love her so much!

Will LoveChild be the daddy?

@troyer Yes, Pitbull is on his area with Lupita, the only black one and Loveis the only one mating the big girls.

Fruit trees and berry bushed pruned.
Leaves turned into the soil of the garden
Weeds pulled
Potatoes and peas planted
Josta berry transplanted
Multiple trays of seedlings started, doted on, moved from window to window and outside when it is warm enough

New renters found.
The rental house cleaned and repaired.
Progress made on thinning out stuff at this house (the kayaks were the hardest to give away).

Lots of research on osteoporosis and other health issues.
Trying to do the walking and weight lifting for bone health, sigh.

Anyone brave enough to take the tarps down off the runs?

I know I'm late in answering- but, I took mine down in the last warm stretch - but put my shower curtains up, right away. The shower curtains are for shade - but work decently for weather

Just found out that a little over a week ago a good friend of mine’s dad got mauled to death by two dogs that were trapped in an abandoned building or something. He was trying just trying to save them, and make sure they were alright. A coworker saw a blood covered dog in the window and went over to investigate to find the worst. I just feel sick. It’s even on the news

How awful. I'm so very sorry to hear this sad news

 

[Sammster]

I'll complain.....80+ felt terrible!
I'd prefer the temps to stay between 45 and 75 all year around

78°, full sun, light breeze - is a perfect day. Not that I'm picky, or anything
