Onions,lettuce,and mustard greens looking good,as they all survived the snow.Mustard are really growing,I'm cutting them every five days.Wife and I made more blue berry/banana bread tonight.Tomorrow we will attempt strawberry/banana bread.
Did the weekly shopping.
Installed 2 eye-bolts with butterfly nuts in the steel frame of the party barn to secure the trash can (to keep it from blowing out into the yard). I've been meaning to do this for years...

Made 6 loaves of strawberry/banana bread and 2 buttermilk pies.Thanks Ranch for the recipe.
It's Dieter's birthday today!!! He's prancing around the house with his new Nylabone toy, proud as can be, LOL. It's hard to believe he's a year old already, from 10.25 lbs the day we bought him home to 90 lbs now.
Put out 3 more rolls of hay ahead of the incoming cold & rain.
Made another pot of pinto beans & a batch of stuff jalapenos for supper.
Washed the Gator.
Well the front just came through... the temperature went from 79 to 56 degrees in 10 minutes & it's starting to rain. Closed up the greenhouse & turned on both the heater & the fan (forecast has a low of 39 tonight).

Day off for me - the start of Christmas shutdown at work. Kid's last day of school before break.
Grocery shopping in the morning. Also went to the local yarn store - got yarn to make a new winter hat for the 5 year old.
Found a new recipe for a roasted chicken, sausage, and veg that I want to try soon:
Food Wishes: Roasted Chicken, Sausage, Peppers & Potatoes

Kind of cold here today, although the north wind makes it feel even colder than 44 degrees...
Made bread. Also made 2 batches of buttermilk biscuit dough, which we froze after forming them (we'll bake them at a later date).
Waxed the Gator & put all the stuff back in it, so it's ready to go back to work.

Taking it a little easy myself today. Started on a "MAGA" branding iron similar to the one I just built. Going to take some pictures of it so that maybe I can sell a few, and then I'm going to mail it to Donald J Trump, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Y'all think it will make it to him, lol?
Yes, it will make it to him... especially if you write a good handwritten letter to accompany it.
Put the Presidential Seal on the end of the handle (you can get a Presidential Seal 1" Lapel Pin for $7.47).

My 2 year old face planted on the way out of Sunday school today. She had her hands in her pockets when walking down the hall so there was so way to break her fall when she tripped over her sister. We walked out of church with a screaming 2 year old with a very bloody lip.
Got about an inch of snow between 6 a.m. and noon.
Made bread, ginger snaps (with chopped candied ginger in them) and have chicken, sausage, potatoes, and peppers roasting in the oven for dinner.

Seasoned up 4 strip steaks with just S&P. We'll grill these later for supper.
I harvested a couple of small heads of broccoli & some green onions so that Mrs. Ranch can make our traditional Christmas salad. She is also making 'twice baked' potatoes as the other side dish.

Started with pandamonium around the tree this morning.
Pot roast and bread in the oven right now.
Tried to take the dog for a walk but it was too cold and his paws were giving him trouble (too cold) after only about 5 blocks. We maxed out around 10 F today and it is windy out.

sun has been up for about 90 minutes. We've warmed up to 4 below zero F but I don't know how cold it was before the sun came up.
Kids slept in to 7 today - an almost unheard of occurrence. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee knitting a ski cap (almost done).

It was in the 40s & drizzly today... a really nasty day here, so the 3 of us just hunkered down & watched classic movies all day.

43 degrees, windy with light showers here today. We have some japanese eggplant to pick for dinner, they're still doing great. Way too many Meyer lemons for us to use and don't know what to do with them.

Off to Home Depot to return a dead LED bulb and get a project for my 5 year old.

Yep, 40 degrees here & drizzly (0.25" thus far). Cabin fever is starting to set in...
