Spent our day inside, cooking, cleaning, taking the cat to the vet for her yearly shots and writing letters.

We knew it was coming, so planned accordingly. We finished up laundry and
hung on the line in hopes it would dry before the rain showed up. No such
luck,so now the clothes will be rain water soft, again *wink*


We baked Zucchini bread this morning and of course had to sample some
after dinner.

Here is supper; Chuck roast with potatoes, onion, heavy on the garlic, carrots

and sunchokes. The baking powder biscuits are waiting for the oven to

preheat ( there is a better "before" picture just below)

This is the after picture of the biscuits( Hey, Cindy want to come over now?)

The "before" of biscuits

I was trying to get a shot of the heavy rainfall but you can't see it. BTW

this is our kitchen window over the sink, looking South toward the river.

Catching rain to refill two barrels. We've emptied two full barrels

watering plants in the greenhouse as well as transplants we've made

around the homestead.

Storm clouds passing through, we even heard some Thunder!

Clothes are rain water soft now! You can see one of our mature apple

trees and the rhubarb patch in the background( you can click the

picture to enlarge). We're praying they don't freeze tonight

or tomorrow night, we NEED the apples.
