Here comes the rain...

[Jstpssng]

We've had a nice, peaceful stretch of weather but now the skies are starting to open up again. What is it that makes rain on the roof after a busy Saturday so relaxing?

The baked beans in the oven smell good, in another hour they will be ready.

Sounds good....enjoy!

If you end up having too much rain, send some over. We're in desperate need of rain, lots of it.

Mmmm baked beans is a favorite of mine, especially with a pound or so of pulled pork stirred in.

Yesterday sure was soaker here and wind shook lot of leaves from the trees.

3" of rain here yesterday, the pond is topped off and the creek is running full bore. I'm glad it was rain and not snow....

Minor flooding in the valley with a few wet basements. I'm high and dry on the hill.

Harvest time here so from drought to rain. Had more rain last week than we did all summer with more predicted this week.

As semi retired farmer hard to complain about rain but the timing frequently sucks

Ribs on the smoker today, some slaw and Mac n Cheese

I'm still farming and Mother Nature always seems to dump on me at the most inconvenient times. Least it's not snow.... yet. I'm in the kitchen baking bread right now. My wife has an issue with yeast. If she even gets near a rising loaf of bread, it ceases to rise and remains flat...lol

So I do the bread chores. With the price of even sponge bread today at the grocery, I've been baking our bread for a few months now. Nice thing about making your own is, you can add anything you want to. This loaf is raisin bread... and it's actually raising (so long as my lovely wife don't go near it that is). Besides, I always like the aroma of baking bread.

Most of the rain missed us...maybe 1/4" Sat. night/Sun. morning but that was it. Unfortunately, I also missed most of that 3 week span of nice weather...had a work project that kept me inside for most of it.

Am glad we did our annual foliage loop last weekend...most of it was gone this past one.

Trouble with home-made bread is that it doesn't keep more than a couple days. We just don't eat that much of it, so it gets stale/moldy and we have to toss it.

I used to have a similar complaint when I made it, but it didn't last for different reasons. The first loaf was gone before it got cold... some homemade jam, or good dairy butter and honey made it evaporate. I had to stop making it before I looked like Mama Cass.

The baked beans reminds me of my childhood.

Grandma tweeked her mom's recipe for baked beans. They were sweet with maple syrup and brown sugar in them.

What was rough, was when she made them.

She would prep them. Then put them in crocks and slow cook overnight.

The issue was they would start smelling really good about midnight. So sleep was usually rough that night and you woke up absolutely starving the next morning

Breakfast those mornings were Buttermilk pancakes, and a heaping serving of fresh from the oven baked beans.

Lots of rain up here! Started about two days ago. Calling for more the next 2-3 days, like they say least it's not snow up here!(UP) Leaves pretty much off the trees already. Wind has been blowing for two days and nights!

Forecasted 2" here, got maybe 1/2" It has cooled down from last week. Fall is finally here...

Relaxing?
Not for me!

We have been/are under some sort of intense weather warning here in the PNW. So far - it's just been blue skies - puffy white clouds - sprinkles. At least - here just SW of Spokane.

Could it be - once again, all the major weather has skirted around my location. I'll gladly accept that.

Maine, November 9th, snow.

 

[Mtsoxfan]

In the NEK, snow covered ice and people all over the place...

Here we are again. In the middle of a series of storms. It's been snowing since 4 PM last night. I have about a half inch of snow. Not to worry - they predict rain for this weekend and well into next week.

Gotta love late Nov/early Dec. Not fall anymore but not winter yet either.
