Daylight savings time has ended . I am not loving it! I hate feeling by 5 PM that it is bedtime and that is how I feel. You would think by now my body would adjust readily to these annoying time changes....
It has rained for the last two days; not heavily but too wet to be outside. I think another 1/2 inch. I am glad I got my garlic and onions planted before this round hit. I found enough turnips to cook for me today. Several didn't make bulbs....I don't know what causes that. I thinned them heavily. I will leave all of them in the ground and see if they every make anything.
The maintenance for the all-farm generator got canceled because of the rain....they will try again Friday when it is supposed to be dry. We have already had an hour outage since the battery went down on it. What are the odds of that!! It was no big thing, but I am nervous now. I got very complacent about power outages since we have had it.
Today's plans are errands. I need to return a library book and we need to pick up coffee (this is our most critical commodity!). I also need to go to my King Arthur flour source (a Kroger store, Dillon's) for bread flour and regular flour. I am also low on sugar; I should have picked that up at Sam's. I wish I could find a good local source for real lard, not the Armour product with additives and partially hydrogenated lard in it. Walmart used to carry one but then switched to Armour!
Note: I missed posting this one so will just to keep my journal in order.

Sugar has been a bad girl lately; she has discovered the neighbors have dogs and she runs off to visit after going to the field with DH. I am checking into buying the wireless fencing for around the house.
