I didn’t know who did the food, but it was very good. Staunton is a nice town, we had wanted to be closer to it, but costs were lot higher. I want to go back and visit Staunton some more.

55° little nippy sitting on porch. I just heard we are having a campfire tonight.
This tree really pretty this year.
Yep, I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
Noticed my neighbor drove up in a kioti side by side yesterday. His dog was inside with him. One of their daughters lives on the road behind us, so he must have come back from there.
We have the best neighbor here you can have.
Although I remember when I bought this land. I was building my shed, waiting on building permit for the house, lady from horse barns across the road comes over, very angry because someone had stolen some metal gates. She looks in my unfinished shed for them.
I guess it was sort of the same initial welcome as I got in VA.
This lady lived down the road about a mile. they sold the land next to me not long after that. I wanted to buy but too much for me at the time. Guy on other side bought it. He has since sold his farm, and the land next to me, to another neighbor for well over $1M a few years back.
Need to go in and warm up.

delicata squash grown by my DE friends, with butter, nutmeg, cinnamon and a tiny bit of clove
I saved about 20 seeds, set them aside to dry, to plant next year. One squash plant has an awful lot of seeds if you wanted to recycle them all.
give someone a squash and it can be the gift that keeps on giving. Letting them cool off for a bit, real tongue burners now.
58 degrees going down to 37 tonight. Tomatoes and green peppers still trying, brought another tomato in today.
Freezes so far been right around 32-34, apparently not long enough to kill off the tomatoes. Sure took care of a number of flowers though, shriveled right up.
Deadheaded the roses today, cut one bush back for winter, other three still going strong. Until a hard frost they are blooming red, yellow and pink.
Yellow ones are nicely fragrant.
Maybe I'm a sap but I always thought bringing a rose home to my wife meant something special. Always worked for me.
I'd pick some and give them to the old lady across the street but she might get the wrong idea for sure. Oh no, she can gaze on them from afar

Don, if I kept the butter off, you would like this. There was only a small pat per serving, rest was natural juices, but as I ate those squash
thought to myself, this wouldn't be so bad two or three nights a week. Smaller orange squash much better than larger yellow squash,
much more flavor, just yummy. Ate the outside and all. Now stuff that squash with something crunchy and low fat. Maybe basmati rice to suck up the juices.
ate one of each and am totally stuffed
was very careful with clove, know that is very strong, but should have worried more about too much nutmeg and not enough cinnamon.
Now I know for the next time. I was out of vanilla, holey moley has that stuff gotten expensive. I was reading labels today; Acme well stocked with various vanillas, all in the
seriously expensive range. But a couple drops of vanilla on each squash might be interesting.
Stuffed with basmati rice and yellow corn. Of course then I think mixing in a whole small container of sour cream would make it just perfect.
And lots of grated cheese on top. Then broiled. But with cheese and cream we have left the plant kingdom. And for sure not a bit of butter on it.
My grandfather would be annoyed at that. Built the family fortune, as it was, on butter and eggs, enough to buy the farm here in 1939.
So I'm kind of partial to butter and eggs.
Grandfather sold his plant in Newark NJ to Borden, burdened under the pressure of buying a huge amount
of new mechanized equipment needed to cut and package the new "quarter pounders", what we all know as a stick of butter today.
He sold out right before the Depression. Invested all his money in stock market and lost most of it in the Crash. Went back to work owning a business in West Orange NJ, selling
Fords for a while. Those were tough times. So Grandfather was very frugal and worked the pants off his grandchildren.
No slackers would work for that man. I have a lot of respect for him. Not bad after coming through Ellis Island with a sack and a few bucks in his pocket.
At least he had a brother here with a butter business, and Augenblick & Brother was born. My Grandfather was the brother...
In Newark in the Thirties everyone knew of the building with the big white cow on a sign outside. Torn down and they built a downtown train station on the site.
I sure wish i could go back a hundred years, walk under that sign with the big white cow on it, and then could see what the operation looked like.
Never got that chance and no pictures survived. And no time machine.
I love looking at the old ads. You never knew macaroni could do all that did you?...

Nice day today, keeping a small fire going in the stove all day. Loaded some more firewood into the house. Changed bucket on the excavator to the 36 inch smooth one and graded some for the firewood shed. I think it was scraping up enough dirt from the surrounding areas to not have to bring in any dirt. Also used the front blade to level it out some. Still some more work to do before using the post hole digger for the posts.
Drew your story reminds me about my grandfather He had a farm with milk cows, pigs and chickens. He also had a huge patch with strawberries and vegetables as well as fruit trees and a dozen bee stands for honey.
I was born on his 50 year old birthday and was the first grand kid so I was very special to him. I spent all my vacations on the farm and loved it all. Riding the horses, learning to hunt, picking strawberries, slinging honey etc trying it all. My parents lived 30 miles or so from there and one time when I was 4 or 5 years old they could not find me and a search was made finding me on the way to my grandfather 3 miles down the road on my tricycle.

Buckeye, You need to ease up on the healthy diet you are starting to look a little peaked.

Good (Saturday) morning. A cool overnight Low of 9C and it's presently 18.4C. Overcast, with the odd glimpse of sunlight, and a light breeze. There was 3.5mm in the gauge at 0900.
Not much on for today... it's still too wet to even think about mowing around the house, which finally needs it. Perhaps tomorrow after Church.
That's about it, take care all.
