Oven fries are good, too. :) Today, I noticed a potato plant sprouting from the compost heap! Hopefully, it will produce some potatoes! :D<br />You are preparing some good food there! <br />Yes, more rain is in the forecast! More snow on the mountains. One of the ski resorts announced that they will extend their ski season until July! They've had over 5 feet of snow and more expected! <br />M was saying that one of his clients has a home up in the hills with her back patio very close to the edge of a hill. Hopefully, that hillside is stable!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-496566886355493802023-03-22T13:02:57.792-07:002023-03-22T13:02:57.792-07:00It's me, Debra.

My old standby is back in rotation now that egg prices are more reasonable. <br />I'm seeing more rain for your area - a lot of rain. I hope it doesn't present a problem for people. I know some areas of your state have been saturated with rain and snow.

I read an article on the BBC News website about the impact climate change is having on maple syrup production, and I thought of you. <br />Sounds like a busy day.

I haven't had a lot of luck growing potatoes, myself; so far, this is my entire potato harvest, although I have a couple of other plants growing. But, I'm using potatoes from the grocery store that start to grow in the bag before I can eat them and just bury them in one of the planting beds. One year, I tried growing them in a deep pot and I had some success; the next year, I didn't get any potatoes! But, I have fun trying to grow them. :) I have another 4 or 5 potatoes sprouting in my bag of potato, right now, and I'll be planting them soon to see if I'll get more potatoes. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-67743320375803556172023-03-20T14:13:45.786-07:002023-03-20T14:13:45.786-07:00Mama Cat gets fussed over almost as much as Dancer...Mama Cat gets fussed over almost as much as Dancer, but, she's definitely an outside cat. Yes, the wild fires burned all the vegetation, then, we had more than a year's worth of rain fall in a very short period of time, along with more snow than we've had in years, and the saturated grounds are just giving way. It's a good thing that the reservoirs were as low as they were; otherwise, we would have had more flooding, I think! <br />Sounds like you'll be getting in some exercise shoveling snow! Hope the rain helps with clearing off some of the snow!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-34317039686591459992023-03-20T09:42:03.225-07:002023-03-20T09:42:03.225-07:00Your meal looks so tasty especially as they are yo...Your meal looks so tasty especially as they are your own home grown potatoes and pea pods.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-58115186377720203472023-03-20T08:53:33.759-07:002023-03-20T08:53:33.759-07:00Maybe Mama cat likes the gentle rain!

I cooked a chicken breast for us yesterday with a concocted spicy sauce and some small junks of potato in the dish to bake as well. I cooked some frozen corn in the microwave later. We have sunshine and after a cold night, the temperature is well above freezing so DH has hopes of plenty of sap and is already boiling some collected earlier.

We have been seeing on our news about all the flooding & such in California. I imagine because of all the wild fires burning off the vegetation, there's not a lot to hold back the mud slides. Hoping everyone keeps safe. Looks like Monday here will be shoveling off the snow from the driveway & front steps, all before rain on Wednesday (col).Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.com
