28*, 83% humidity, calm wind, mostly cloudy, FLOOD WARNING I've been pleasantly worn out the past couple of days. Not the kind of worn out that comes from sitting at a desk for 16 hour stretches at work, brain dead, wishing to be anywhere but there and then not being able to sleep.

46*, 100% humidity, sw 6 mph wind, Rain, FLOOD WARNING, FLASH FLOOD WATCH I'm going to talk about me for a few minutes, mainly because I'm in a meditative mood.

Sometimes I would tape the seed packets closed

36*, feels like 28*, 70% humidity, S 10 mph wind, fair On a day I needed a boost, when I was feeling depressed about missing my grandmother for the holidays who passed earlier this year (may she rest in peace XOXOXOXO), I got to work a bit early. As I was downstairs an associate pulled me aside in a conspiratory voice and wished to speak with me aside a moment. About an hour later, someone else

39*, feels like 32*, 55% humidity, SSW 12 mph wind, cloudy Yesterday I told you about one thing you can do with extra pumpkins. I learned of something else as well.

32*, feels like 26*, 66% humidity, W 7 mph wind, cloudy My main goals for next years garden is going to be something like this: 1) REALLY try to produce as much food from the garden as possible this year. 2)Eat as much as I grow or put up extra for the winter. 3)Add for future garden productivity (bushes, trees, more garden beds) 4) Rabbits for food and chickens for eggs--they add manure too.
