It’s been so long since I’ve posted on anything like a regular basis, that I don’t know where to start. Maybe it’s best to go ahead from here and plug in previous events as I remember them.
This has been a strange winter: Usually we can’t count on any rain until mid-November at the earliest but, after having an inch in September and another in October, we have been dry as a bone since. This morning we had a bit, not enough to register on the rain gauge but enough to dampen the ground. However it did energize me and I bought a couple of six packs of sugar snap peas at OSH today as well as onion sets - red, white and yellow. I’ll try to get the peas and some of the onions planted tomorrow. I couldn’t find any English peas so will have to plant those from seeds.
When we were in Gilroy today I stopped at Grocery Outlet and found one-ounce bottles of red food coloring for 79 cents each. I made a Red Velvet cake for Christmas and the food coloring cost me $6 for the 2 ounces required. $1.60 sounds a lot better to me and I think I’ll make one for Valentine’s Day.
I used the original boiled frosting instead of the current cream cheese frosting. Sure was good.
