hello Mr. Studly

The snow and cold yesterday was a true killing frost. The garden looks like a disaster, but we knew it was coming. Until yesterday, the grapevine was still green, the tomato plants still upright and producing, the pumpkin vines even had a little life in them still. Today...everything was brown and wilted and crunchy. The snow was pretty while it lasted, but it pretty much melted off. Ah, fall in Colorado


Today Pokie's new boyfriend came for a visit...I basically waited around all day for a booty call that wasn't for me. Since I had some time on my hands and I had a limited amount of work I could do from home (since I hadn't brought stuff home since I didn't know I'd be home) I baked bread. I've got a lovely loaf of cranberry nut bread now that I'll take to work tomorrow. yo ho! yo ho! a farmer's life for me...
