Sometimes when the garden is a mess my husband will ask me if I left the garden to the Lord. I havent been near the garden bed with tomatoes since the storm last week. I was going to let a hard freeze take it out, easy for me to clean up. I decided to check out the plants and found 2 slicer tomatoes-what a great find! The squash plants were not damaged-great to see!

Good one Tara! I always hope for the kitchen fairies to show up and they never do. lol Nice surprise to find good things in your garden yet. I will open up my garden fence and get started on clean up today. Chickens will get a few big cucumbers and zucchini I am sure. I throw everything in my gator, and go and dump by the woods. We have not froze yet. Got down to 37 so far.

It's cooling down in north central/east Texas. Depends on who you talk to whether Paris is in north central or northeast Texas. Night temps in the high 50s or low 60s. Day temps still in high 80s with heat index of high 90s.
Annie and I sat out on the side porch this morning. Very pleasant with a cool breeze. Heard birds singing this morning. I guess they are finally coming back after all the jackhammering in August when my house was leveled. Even the squirrels were scared off for a while. I hoped they wouldn't come back but looks like they are. They love to plant acorns and pecans in my container plants and raised beds. Always picking out wee pecan and oak trees.

Happy Sunday to everyone. Oh the squirrels are such rascals storing up for the winter Sara. I do love watching them. We had some much needed rain this past week but now it will clear out and be beautiful again with fabulous blue skies. The house is quiet now without our 10 month old nephew Wally, we miss him so much already. Cannot wait to see him again next year. Enjoy your day everyone.
