The Kitchen Table

Good Morning, It's Raining

It is 33 out this morning in central Indiana and there is a fine rain coming down. I just went out in it to feed the cats. I have my sweet potatoes in the oven for our birthday dinner at 12:30 today. I have to clean my strawberries and slice my cucumbers and then get the chicken in the oven. I will have to also cook the potatoes and get them mashed and I think as far as the food I will be done. How is your weather this morning? I hate mud! We still have a lot of snow though.

All's quiet this Sunday morning - so far. Also expecting some rain then it changes to snow showers or flurries practically every day next week. Originally the weatherman was warning that a "clipper" was coming through, but now he doesn't expect much accumulation.

Today (Sunday,10 am) it's sunny and warmish for this time of year 38 degrees. Rain or snow due Monday night. But in the 30's all week long.

It IS raining again! A heavy TS is on top of me and rain is coming down in torrents.(2.0+"/Hr.) Hopefully this is the last of many that have occurred today. The cold front that has been moving imperceptibly for the past few days, has now arrived in GA and is moving rapidly toward the East, taking the showers and T'storms with it. Almost 3" of rain during the past 3 days and everything is a soggy mess. Let's hope next week is much better for gard*ners! * = Bing avoider!

I remember a few years back, someone posted pics of their hosta growing in a bog. I think the key is that the crown itself is not allowed to sit in water. I mean, I have hosta that have been sitting in water for weeks to root a broken crown.... they're not rotten. Besides, where hosta is native, gets a TON of precip! I personally think they've gotta be loving it. We've had 2" in the last 24 hours!

It has been a long day. I went to Cheryl's Mother in law for a visit. They are selling their home and had a sewing room full of stuff to get rid of. Guess who got it! We just bagged things up she didn't want and will go through it at a later time. We didn't put it in the house. It is all out back in big trash bags in a little house we have out there. There is some in the garage that I am to get, but we didn't have time to get those. She has already gotten out what she wanted. She is 80 years old and they have moved in with their daughter. I had to take a nap after I got home as my back was hurting. Izzi stayed with Amber. No nice meal for tonight. I don't know what hubby picked up for himself, but I had a chili dog. I don't think you would want my supper tonight Marie! It was good though. I hope everyone has a good night and gets a good night's rest. Sue

Good Morning all ...It's Tuesday

My day will include an excursion to Costco. I saved up my pennies for a long time to buy a new TV, and bought it on Thursday. Then Saturday the new Costco coupon booklet arrived in the mail. That same set will be $300 cheaper on Jan. 5th. We hadn't set it up yet, so... I will take my receipt to customer service and see if I'll have to physically bring it back, return it and buy the same thing again next week, or if they will honor the coupon without me doing all that. I've had good experiences with them, so I hope for the best. (The TV is a huge blessing, and I promise not to complain even if the discount becomes a hassle.) It's cool but sunny. I may be forced to check out Ross too, 'cause on Tuesday there is a 10% discount if you're 55 or older.

The sky is overcast here in my part of Ohio, but it's just a fine layer of it....looks like the sun could peek through now and then. It's in the high 30s already. Supposed to start precipitating sometime tonight. What we get will be determined by the temperatures. Supposed to last about 24 hours, then off/on snow all week long.

Enjoy your celebration today, Sue.

Good Morning!
It's 45 up here at the lake! I didn't expect to see that when I looked at the thermometer just now! The weather guesser is sounding like we might avoid that foot of snow that they were talking about yesterday!!! I hope so! I don't want to have to drive in it tomorrow!

I think that we are going to run to go poke around at the Goodwill store later. I need a pan that I can use to make my laundry soap!

It's 45 here and the sun is shining. It is supposed to cloud up this afternoon and start storming until tomorrow morning.
Sue....your meal sounds sooooo good. I don't have the foggiest idea what to fix for supper.

Well, it's 16Âº here and partly cloudy....also quite slippery in the parking lots due to melting yesterday. I'm just going to fix a soft cooked egg and toast for a late breakfast, and think about supper later. (Probably soup)

It's fairly warm here this morning....72Â° and our high is supposed to be 75Â°. But then we have a cold front coming next week and it will be cold again. I am definitely ready for Spring!

We had a few dribbles of rain this morning but now it is sunny and nice outside.
I am making a loaf of bread using the 5 minute a day Artisan recipe. This time I have it in a loaf pan instead of free form....hope it turns out well.
