Good morning !! Stormed a bit last night, a few inches of rain, wind, high surf. I was asked at the local grocery store, aren't you cold ? No jacket on ? I said no it's not coat weather yet, they asked... does it get worse ? I said just 30 foot swells, 100 MPH winds..... sideways rain... Typical Oregon coast winters.

I hope he is as well. Blossom seems to be missing also.

 

[Chilli]

I hope your habanero peppers do well

Me too, I haven't been living up to my name over the past 2 seasons. I used to grow heaps and dehydrate them to make chilli powder every year. Haven't done so for the last two years now. 🫤

 

[Chilli]

I have to get some exercise

Cup of coffee in each hand should do it.

Little ones look viable enough.
How about making a "cold frame" for them?

I thought about a little hothouse at one stage but our yard just gets so much wind where we are. Id have to have a little portable one and be moving it all the time. Its like a wind tunel effect with the driveway from one direction and the other there's nothing stopping it coming from the west which blows hard at times. Even my misses complains about it here. Iv been keeping most under the double carport which has some clear perspex sections, so they get light. Just the overall temp this yr caught us out.

He might have a bit of Aussie Aboriginal in him. He seems to go walkabout often doesn't he.

Bart raised his head earlier.
Likely being taciturn due to being on a project or 5.

Youngsters turned me on to these rockers.... not bad !
I'm helping out a band, mentoring kinda. They have potential..

Thundermother is an all-female Swedish hard rock band founded by Filippa Nässil and Moa Munoz in Växjö 2009. The band has toured with Scorpions across Europe and North America, played with Kiss, Danish rock band D-A-D and Swedish rock band Backyard Babies.

I went got a 5 hour walk in. I found some flakes no pottery which was unusual. But I did find this cool preform. It’s completed 90% just needed thinning down and the edge work completed.

 

[DizzyDigger]

Haven't liked an all gal band since the Bangles....Thundermother...although
the singer needs a bit more range in her voice, I like it!
