it really helped me when i picked it up. i was having trouble falling asleep. after a few months of practice it started making a difference, plus the exercise was good for me. :)

i do that in my sleep...

welcome aboard. :) i'm guessing those beans are not fully dried yet and will get darker with age?

as much as possible you want gravity to do the work for you when it comes down to moving large amounts of water. look at the size of the canals they have for the amount of water they are moving. the pipelines and pumps for oil just are not big enough in comparison. check out these links...

oh, and since i'm on the topic of weather, the inflows to Lake Powell have been great the past few days as they've had such rotten flows over the past few years that this is the first time they've gotten above the highs for those past few years. a measly 15,000cfs... this sets up the ground...

i was just checking out the national radar and saw what looked like snow happening up that ways to the east of you... brr! not ready for that here yet, but it can happen at any time now. we had fog here this morning when i went out to put the trash at the curb. there was enough fog that i...

was able to get outside an picked some dry beans and got another garden mostly put up for winter. i still need to move a little dirt around but that won't take long when i get back out there again (hoping tomorrow).

well in one season you've gotten probably two or three times the total production i ever got from several years of attempts. :) i gave up. such a pretty bean.

decided to hold off on cooking today because we have enough food in the refridgerator and i'm doing some laundry. my pillows and the inner two pillow cases (i end up using four per pillow) were looking rather sad and so it was time. i have the pillow cases soaking in the sink with some bleach...

i don't live in that area, but they seem to last here through some frosts even if they may look beat up after a bit. from a distance they look fine. :)

it turned out to be a lot more than i expected. i had a good 35lbs of Beaver Dam peppers and another 15lbs of green bell peppers. all of the extras are in the trunk of Mom's car now so they can be given away today. i hope all of them get taken. i'm so done with processing food and washing...

stuffed cabbage rolls with tomato sauce work well, so why not tomato and cabbage? i would eat it as we make vegetable soup and i miss having cabbage in it but Mom won't do cooked cabbage. lentil crisps sounds good to me. i like about any junkfood (except recently Cheezits which must be hidden...

the crust of the bread turns into rubber in the microwave. makes it very hard to cut with the spoon as you are eating. just trying to get ahead of the curve on the serve and all that... :) yes, blueberries and peanut butter is pretty good, the yogurt helps add some tart interest.

i objected when Mom planted some where she did back next to another garden because i knew they could spread so easily. yes, it's been a large pain in the butt ever since then.

this year was certainly the sweetest tomatoes i've ever grown. i didn't water them at all the last month and lost a lot due to splitting but what we did harvest and can or eat were the best. :) of course it did help that the plants kept green leaves on them and still have some - that also is...
