ROTFL!! Actually DH's favorite meal is when I call out it's ''fend for yourself'' day. Trouble is, he eats junk food, so I try not to use that card too often.

I decided we are going to eat out of the freezer. We have chicken thighs, and legs and thighs. I got out the thighs and hope he'll grill the others.

I have one bag of spinach to use and hope the rain brings on the newly planted quicker. I have brussels sprouts and lima beans too. I also have canned venison that is great in a pinch. Wednesday, I made plenty of spagetti and we have a dab left :o) So, I do have my ways of creating a meal in 15 minutes when I had no idea what we were having.

I woke up at 1:30 am and came out to check the neighborhood. I caught lightning in the east and south. It started raining around 2:30 am and is done now. We got a half inch. I'll take it. I watered the garden the other day. I also heard the words, low's in the 30's. No no no!

Has anyone tried the Ball Park black angus hot dogs? YUM!!! We're even eating the less fat ones. Did I say YUM?

I was weeding last night and kept hearing the robins. I looked up and there was the baby, fresh out of the nest. He listened to me talk awhile then hopped to the edge of the road. He was still there when I needed to dump the weeds. When I came back over I picked him up and set him in the flower bed. He started squawking and set the parents to pipping Then he hopped into the grass again. I picked him up and set him in the bed in a more open spot. Squawk again, pip again. I looked over and there was the neighbor's cat. I shoed him away and just hope the little guy made it thru the night.

Chris, a baby picture for you. Hope you are feeling ok.
