Hawkeye- Just about anything involving St. B.'s is expensive. Right now the MMM is in "remission" and the dog has been getting "holistic" supplements. Knowing what i now know I will have to break the kibble down to a smaller size. One of our vets practices alternative therapies like chiropractic and acupuncture. A few of our dogs have had really good results with the alternative therapies (+ meds). I see some pending vet expenses starting tomorrow. All I have for this dog's medical records is a vaccination slip from a veterinarian's office.

David- I can relate. Delivery personnel are among my few social contacts. I have not seen our FEDEX driver since we stopped ordering dog food from chewy.com. I placed an order Sunday evening and it arrived today. That FEDEX van is always packed with chewy.com boxes.

Took easy way out on the flag light. Ordered correct one off Amazon. Another one of them nasty cold north wind days. No rain yet.

NWS now says we're under a wind advisory; may have winds up to 40 mph, 20% chance of rain, and the current temperature is 80 degrees and sunny. In reality we have a very slight breeze; quite a nice day for sitting outside in the shade. And I'm tired after mowing, trimming, and edging the neighbor's yard.

I need to mow, very ragged looking.

Looking4new raw oatmeal? Is that like old fashioned Quaker Oats out of the container with apple juice? Sounds good like a soft granola. I would do that but instead of apple juice I would throw an apple in a blender to get the extra fiber from the whole fruit and if too dry add a tiny bit of water.

That is exactly it, rolled oats and apple juice. (I pay dearly if I get into milk) Try it with fruity yogurt, it is good that way, too.

Cooked oat meal makes porridge and a substance I do NOT like. I had way too much of it as a kid. It is like eating mush.

I was on my feet for 8 hours today, most of that planting. Last five hours was pushing a Earthway seeder up and down those rows. And then raking them all by hand since the seeder didn't get the seeds low enough consistently; I'd find the seed on top. In this soft soil, some you can just push in with your finger but I wound up doing quite a bit of raking today. Got all the non GMO corn planted. Still have two pounds of corn to go, maybe do that next week. They predict a pretty severe thunderstorm here tomorrow afternoon and I have visions of all my corn washing away so glad I took the time to get some extra soil on top. Unlike my beets and carrots which totally washed away three weeks ago. I reordered a few more packages of beets and carrots, but not as much as before. When I plant them I guess I'll have to put straw down on top for the first week.

Chatted with head of Food Bank, made an appt to go see them tomorrow along with my three one gallons ziploc bags of pak choy.
Carnage in the garden.
It's going to be brutal, off go their heads. And everything else too!
I probably have about 150-175 of the pak choy and an unimpressive 49 traditional cabbages.

I planted another tray of "fancy beans" today and cheated with a few tomato plants from the feed store.
Normally I don't grow cherry tomatoes but they had a dark variety I wanted to try. Most of the tomatoes I'm growing, or attempting to grow,
are the darker varieties.

Also flung 400 pounds of triple 10 on the corn fields and my neighbor's personal garden area, which I had already tilled.
Then had to clean and air blast dry the flinger.

no wonder I'm tired... time for a nap before dinner.
