Weather Roller Coaster


      Saturday we had a high temp of 79 degrees F. Last night we had a low of 27 and tonight's is supposed to be around the same. A 50 degree change in about 24 hours is crazy even for Mississippi.
   
      At any rate Mack & Tosh, my chinchillas aka "The lads" are enjoying fresh greens from our makeshift cold frame. It's merely a couple of 3' x 5' window frames (with glass intact) laid over a raised bed garden that I seeded with radish, carrot and beet seeds a few weeks ago. It's actually turned out to be one of my more productive experiments.

     For myself I have a Crock Pot full of stew that I'm keeping warm. It started as a mess of collard greens but each day as I consume a heaping helping I add in some precooked meat or veggies and just just let it morph into something new each day.
     Maybe someday I can figure out how to make an edible biscuit or maybe try some premixed stuff and make dumplings.

     Stay warm, my friends and God bless!
