Default Rain

We were blessed with a gentle rain for two days that gave us three
inches of free water. Now it has turned off a bit cold, low fifties at
this time at 0602.

Dog is still having allergy attacks so I guess it is back to the vet
sometime today or tomorrow. I get tired of mopping up dog snot from the
floor but the poor dog isn't at fault so I shouldn't complain. She does
keep us warm on these very cool nights. G

We're still picking sweet peppers and fairly large green tomatoes, a
couple sat on the counter for two days and actually ripened enough to
eat them raw. The broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc. are about ready to start
harvesting and eating. Still have a few quart jars of homemade kraut in
the pantry so probably won't make any this season.

Believe it or not the eggplant is still producing even with the coolth
(old Hippie word) of the season. I have a nice rib eye steak ready to
cook and may just do some fried eggplant to go with.

Otherwise I need to make a library run as that is what I do in the
winter, read a lot of Science Fiction and history. Oh yeah, a lot of
naps too.
