It's Monday, and STILL no rain!
They kept predicting it all weekend, but nothing. My tulip poplar has almost no leaves left. I don't know if it will live through the winter.
The funniest thing just happened. I've been looking for my recipe for "Roasted Sicilian Potatoes" and couldn't find it. I couldn't remember where I saw it to look for it. It's really delicious. I had made it once. When I was going through my new emails, the "Web MD" recipe for the day was . . . "Roasted Sicilian Potatoes"; the very one. I was just trying to find it, not 20 minutes ago. How weird is that?!!!
I'm working on the house, as usual. I'm making some headway, but, unless you were familiar with the way it looked a week ago, you wouldn't notice. Sigh. I'm planning to make my Italian, Wild Rice Soup today. It makes 8 servings, which I put up in the freezer. I make almost all of my food in the crockpot that way.
My potted plants are so lush and pretty. I'm trying to decide which ones to bring inside for the winter. Most of them will winter over, but some, like the basil, thyme and oregano, I like to have inside and fresh for cooking. The lemon verbena and rosemary plants have to come in as they won't live outside in the cold. I think I will bring the miniature roses in as well, just for a bit of winter cheeriness. They have been going crazy this summer and have given me much joy.
I'm off to get my soup on. I will catch up with buddies later. Hugs!
I'm grateful for:Waking up!
An internet full of incredible information.
My Velcro, who has my left hand asleep at the moment.
Drawers full of clean laundry.
The beautiful, cool weather (although I would welcome a lot of rain!)
Not being very hungry, at the moment! LOL!!!
Crazy lace agate. I'm wearing a beautiful piece.
