Oh, cookies sound really tempting! Did they turn out alright even though the baking soda wasn't working? I'm thinking of making monkey bread for breakfast tomorrow morning. I have a recipe for it that uses those frozen yeast rolls. The monkey bread is so good. It's a recipe my mom used to make, that she passed down to me - YUM!

I wish I was a baker sometimes, but I don't enjoy it much.

I used to bake when the kids were little. I even made up a recipe for dog biscuits my dogs went nuts for. Last time i baked i did it for the grandkids to enjoy helping.

black_dove2: "How's your family and friends doing?
I'm from Corpus Christi and have family spreading outwards from there. I understand the feeling all too well .I have a sister in Beeville which is right by Victoria Texas and hoping she holding out okay. And the house held up well."

Thanks for asking! My cousin in Katy, just west of Houston, is OK but a lot of damage in the area from wind and possible tornado. Heard from one friend in Houston, family OK but worst is coming and they are expecting a lot of flooding. No word from Port Aransas or Rockport, but they are surely without power so we are keeping an eye on the news and weather channel until we hear something.
We hope all ends well with your sister, Beeville is getting a lot of rain.

We took a 90 minute drive to Cabela's today for their big sale and picked up a much needed 12-tray dehydrater for large volume drying. My wife greenhouses a lot of herbs in the winter and we needed a reliable way to thoroughly and quickly dry them to preserve the aroma and flavor. She has already processed a bushel of Cuban oregano today.

Tonight I sat in the chicken yard, gave the girls some blueberries and just watched them forage and go to roost...very relaxing.

Hubs used the siding he cut out to make a little covered patio just outside the doggy door today. Need to add an outdoor rug to keep their feet off the hot cement, the old boy moves slow.

Couldn't find my Epsom salts or the super thrive, so I gave the struggling rose bush some all purpose stuff I have, Jobes I think. Didn't want to wait til I could get to the store tomorrow.

Have to get the eggs out of the shed, add a nest box or two to the coop and check to see how watering a bit affected the deep litter in there. Considering adding some bedding.

There's plenty of rocks to move

@penny1960 I'm sorry, that's so irritating!

It has been really pleasant the last few days working outside without sweat pouring down my face and back! I keep trying to find time to garden, but today was another do stuff for the chicken coop day.

Started working in the garden pulling weeds and tying up the tomato vines....some of the indeterminate vines are now draped over the top of the cattle panels in th beds. Some of the vines had branches that are more than 5 feet long. The new flush of green tomatoes will have plenty of time to ripen. If some don't ripen before our frost in late October, then green tomato pickles, fried green tomatoes and chow chow will be in our future.
Threw arm loads of grass to the chicken pens and even more in weeds over the fence into the pasture for the cows.

My chickens are so happy when I pull something from the garden that is done for year.. we are still getting tons of crook neck squash and spinach now mustard lettuce is coming up like gangbusters
