Yet! Tomorrow will be colder than today. Actually it will be colder for several days now. For the next week, we’re gonna have low temperatures and probably a little snow or rain. That pretty much means I’ll be staying home.
Today the only time I got out was when I got the mail and I took out some trash to the burn barrel. That was enough for me. The wind was blowing today, not blowing as bad as the Kansas wind, but it was blowing.
I did do all my bedding today. I have a nice clean bed for tonight. and I had crocheted almost the whole skin of yard in the last three or four days working on a baby blanket and today I decided I didn’t like it. It was too wide, so I ripped it all out and I started over. After all, what else am I gonna have to do for the next three or four days except sitting in the house?
I ordered a kitchen food scale from Amazon and it came today so I used it and started my sourdough starter. I decided no more than I have to do. I think I’ll try to make sourdough. So I weighed up the flour and the water. Stirred it all up really good and cleaned down the side of the jar. Did all the stuff you’re supposed to do put a loose lid on it. Then I read that the ideal temperature is between 75 and 80° So it will grow properly. The only hope of a temperature like that would be in my bathroom. You know the one I keep warm so the pipes don’t freeze and so my plants live and now so my sourdough starter will grow. So it’s sitting on the bathroom counter.
Fleta stop by after work today. She brought me some Pepsi. As Betty says some syrup to drink I thought it was nice of her.
I would like something really good to eat, but I can’t think of anything to make. Tomorrow I think I’ll make Spanish rice. It is one of my favorite foods. I think I may go make me some French toast for supper. It’s awful late for supper, but I have not had any yet. I guess I could have some hot air popcorn that would be a lot less fattening and no sugar in it I do love my hot air, popcorn popper. After thinking on it, I think the popcorn is a much better idea because I can have a glass of pop to go with it.
Oh, I know what sounds good to eat. I’ll make pinto beans and cornbread tomorrow. It’s gonna be so cold that would be really good.
I have so enjoyed having my new picture on the wall of the grandest. She just looks so sweet in that picture Kimberley took.
At least Fleta doesn’t have to go work for the next few days. I’m sure she’ll enjoy her days off by the time she has to go back to work. It’s gonna be really cold though. I hope it’s not icy. I guess if it is bad weather, she’ll just have Robert take her in the truck. It won’t hurt him to get up early.
It’s hard to believe Hannah and Robert just have about four more solid months of school and then they will have graduated. I remember when Fleta first got them. They were so little and now they’re all working and driving seniors in high school. She has her job done. She should be very proud of that.
Fleta’s propane heater on her wall quit working. Jr is coming tomorrow to install a new one for her. She’ll be needing it. I told her I didn’t think this one was very old. She said it was that they bought it before George passed away. But I think she is wrong Even though I did not argue with her about it. I think she has bought it in the last five years or less.
She puts things like that on her blog when she gets something new I might get on there and look. But that sounds like an awful lot of trouble to go through just to prove your right when you know you’re right. when you live alone, you can be right almost all the time.
Let me look for a picture and see if I can find one.
A very old picture. Me, Fleta, and Betty. Setting at the kitchen table. That is about 3 feet from where I am setting right now. Not many people are that fortunate.
