Good Morning, All!
It's a pretty day here so far - sunshine and a light breeze! It's still in the low 60's right now, but it is supposed to warm up and hit a high of 84* today. I've managed to feed the feral kitty and the grand-dog, get the coffee pot going, throw a load of laundry in to the washer, feed the inside kitties, and fill the hummingbird feeders and put them out so far. We have to take the hummingbird feeders in at night now because of the rotten raccoons - which are gonna be composting raccoons if I catch them shinnying up the porch posts to get to the feeders again...
Now I'm plopped down at the kitchen island with my coffee and some coconut and banana pudding for breakfast - I'd planned to make myself an omelet but had to move the pudding to get to the half & half for my coffee; and somehow it came to the island with me... I'm blaming Dollar General - they had coconut cookies on the shelf right there at eye level when I zipped through the store the other day. I like to put a cookie in the bottom of the pudding jars, and to chop up a few more to sprinkle in layers with the pudding as I put it in the jars; about the only type I don't do that with is tapioca - which I'll be making a batch of later this morning. I keep my stock of tapioca vacuum sealed in canning jars except for the current use jar, but it can still dry out a bit in storage, so I have to bring the milk up to a nice warm temperature, then add the tapioca, cover the pot and let it rest for a bit for the tapioca to to start to plump up before I add the eggs , vanilla etc...
I just re-read that paragraph and the first thing that went through my mind is: SQUIRREL!! I'm just all over the place this morning
Hubby is still sleeping - he stayed up late last night to stream a motocross race that one of his co-workers was riding in, so I'm trying to stay at least a little quiet. I've got enough quiet inside work to keep me busy for a while - making up a batch of hummingbird feed, dishes, another load of laundry, sweeping up after the dog, toting things up and down from the pantry, etc.. Once Hubby is up and around, I'm going to head outside and fire up the tiller - it's going to be a pretty day to get my tilling and weeding done; and the ground should dry up well with the sun and wind we have coming. Then I need to work out my garden plan again - some goof-ball put their planting plan under a rock on on one of the porch tables... but apparently didn't use a big enough rock...
Well, I'd better get up and get some work done - I can hardly believe that it's almost June and I don't have my garden in the ground yet...
Take care, All - stay safe out there, and don't forget to honor those who gave their lives so that we could live ours in freedom... there is a portrait on my wall of one of those brave men...
