Popping In

 Just finished my Thursday evening 

Orientation Zoom.

Wow.

This has been a WEEK!

It's nearly over...

not that I'm rushing it.

I've been enjoying being busy.

But I've BEEN BUSY!

That's for sure!

Luckily, Kyle decided to experiment

with Hello Fresh this week and last.

He got a nice big box of food and recipes

on Monday and has been making yummy (smelling)

dinners every night.

(While I'm locked in my Zoom Room... smelling them!)

He bought the "2 serving" program so he can have

one for dinner and the other for lunch the next day.

He's learning to cook some good stuff!

And I don't have to worry about feeding him.

Of course, Rod already has his lunches and

dinners in the freezer, so its just me.

And since I've been teaching every night I've

been keeping it simple.

Eggs and toast?

Eggs and hashbrowns?

Tonight I had the other half of a Subway sub

I ordered at lunch today at work...

Anyhow.

We got treated to a GORGEOUS sunset this evening!

(Luckily on Tues and Thurs I don't start until 6:30

so I get to SEE the sunset!)

As always it's not HALF as beautiful as it was in person.

The reds were the deepest, darkest reds I think

I have ever seen!

It's like the world is in turmoil right now,

so Heavenly Father is treating us to some

spectacular beauty to help calm the storm.

It was LOVELY!

On another note, the garden is doing well still.

We have been eating fresh peas.

(Mostly IN the garden...)

Tonight I came home from work about 4:30,

dashed out to let the chickens out and as I

passed the garden there were 4 RIPE peas 

kind of poking out of the fence, just ASKING

to be harvested.

So I obliged them and stuck them in my pocket.

Then I had to run to WalMart to get some dog food

since we were OUT.

I also bought a hand of bananas for our lunches

but in my haste - left them in my cart.

DARN IT!

On the drive home I remembered my pocket stash!

It was a nice little treat!

Somebody ELSE has been enjoying our garden.

That MONSTER is called a horn worm.

He has a little horn on his tail end.

They glow in the dark, so we usually go out 

after dark with our little black light flashlights

and check for hornworms.

(They can eat an entire tomato plant over night...)

But it's been cold at night lately, so we thought

the danger was over.

WRONG!

Kyle found this one in the morning so that night

we were armed with our lights (and hats and scarves)

and found TWO MORE giant ones.

Sheesh.

I guess we have to keep checking.

Anyhow.

Just wanted to pop in for a jiff.

I still need to send emails etc tonight...

so... 

that's all the news that's fit to print!

NITE!
