Oh Joy! This is another one of those days. Rainy, dreary and I'm feeling about like the the broken branches and matted wet fall leaves look. The grey Elms all have those ratty looking tails hanging from them and they are not my friends. The yellow pollen they have been covering the cars with is now washed off for the moment but when the sun finally decides to show her face, the coverlet of pale yellow will be seen again topping everything.
I was hoping to get some planters started but with the cold nights and now all this rain, I'm glad I didn't go in forward gear because they would all be flooded by now. Sometimes things do work out for the best.
Since it is cold again I guess today will be cabin fever soup day. Nothing special, just whatever the cupboards and fridge holds. I'm hoping that before the day is over the rain will stop and I can fit in a run to the grocery store. Anything to get out of the house and pick up a pot roast or something good. Yesterday I made my Granny's old stand by of creamed tuna with peas to go over potatoes or toast. Hubby and I opted for toast. We love it but as my boys used to say, YUCK!
Hmmm, I just remembered, I have a pound of bacon in the freezer and all kinds of corn. A nice corn chowder with corn muffins sounds good and I wouldn't have to fight the crowds in the stores. When it rains they take the kids shopping so they can blow off some steam and drive the shoppers nuts. Sorry people, this gal is going to stay home with a book and a pot of corn chowder.
Well, I promised I would write something, and as boring as it is, it will have to do. I can't be fun and games all the time!
