good morning...

we had an escapee yesterday afternoon...
but she didnt' get far...
the babies are doing better on their antibiotics...
but not playing too much yet...
the last of the frozen store bought corn from the freezer...
from here on out...
it's fresh all the way...
supper last night...
deboned the chicken...
used the broth and a package of crockpot seasoning for beef with a south western flair...
added a can of peas...
noodles and it was good...
it had a kick to it...
tomatoes are blushing and have to get these picked today...
lavender...
someone came up in a railroad tie by the corn...
not exactly where we planted them...
a wall of corn stretches across the backyard...
the yard was mowed a week ago...
hasn't grown at all...
turning brown...
and hard and crunchy sounding...
we have cloudy skies and around 84...
a lot milder than it has been...
should be out doing something...
but I'm on day 2 of a migraine...
and the thought of bending over...
no- just staying in and quiet...

DH came home last night and a farmer had brought in an ear of corn...
only 2/3 the normal size and only half of it kernel...
and those are so small they will have to change the screens on the cleaner...
heads up...
if we don't get rain, food prices are going up...
this ear was food grade corn...
the other corn looks a little better, but not up to par, for sure...
stock up now on staples...
they use any excuse to raise prices, you know...

still no sign of Robbie...
called the shelter this morning...
they have a facebook page and posted on it...
they are cruising Oakland today...
so if they see him...
they will call...
3 days now...
if someone found him...
they kept him...
just wish we knew he was ok and not hurt or ate by coyotes...
we have plenty of those around here...
well, need to get moving...
just a little bit...

WE have had some rain this week, Tete..and it looks like more coming tonight from the looks of the sky. I had hoped to come home to a quiet house but my dd stayed all day with the girls-they are swimming in the bay and now she invited a couple of her girlfriends out. I don't usually mind but just so much going on ALL the time here~

Hope you have a cool, good evening-xo Diana

Tete, The kitten is adorable. I am glad the kittens are doing better. So sorry about Robbie and I hope you find him soon. Check all the shelters and vets' offices, put signs up...I'm praying for you and Robbie. Your garden looks good. Praying for rain.
