I live in a very rural area, in the middle of no where. Burning is not a problem. I do need to get it done soon, though. Already, as I'm dragging branches to the burn pile, I have to be careful to not step on any of my spring bulbs....their little noses are starting to poke out! šŸ˜

You'd better Tiptoe Thru' The Tulips, then, Trila. :ROFLMAO:
 

@hollydolly Love the pix but can't help but feel sorry for the horses without blankets!

It's a balmy 67F here, headed to 70F+ this afternoon.

I have no nerves left. New Lady got on my last one this morning:mad: God grant me patience and please hurry.

Laundry needs to be done, but it's gonna rain all day tomorrow (if the weatherheads are to be believed) and want to save something to keep myself occupied on my day off.

Speaking of day off, I've decided to sleep:sleep: maybe as long as...an extra 10 or 15 minutes tomorrow morning. Yup. Just gonna throw caution to the winds and laze aroundšŸ›Œ if Maggiecat allows it.
 
I just don't know ... I had planned to go out today. I have library books due, but I can renew them online. I'd like to buy cream for my coffee, but it's not a must.

I guess I'll take care of the basics first, like getting out of bed. And get a bit of exercise in.

Yes, maybe I'll do those things, and then see if I have energy to make another batch of meatballs. Read some more Schopenhauer.

This evening I host the trivia game. That doesn't stress me, and it's somewhat rewarding. I wish more things in my life were like that!
 
Just so y'all know that I'm not a complete b*tch and just babbling about New Lady...around 10 this morning, she announced to all of us that "this time yesterday morning, I was dead drunk, and the bartender cut me off."

Somehow, if that had been me, I truly don't think that's information that I'd have shared. Jussayin'

Surely she was joking, @Georgiagranny ? ! If not , that takes ā€œhaving no filterā€ to a whole new level! šŸ˜®

Nope. Not joking. Not one bit. She "overshares" a whole lotta stuff that any thinking person wouldn't dream of mentioning to anybody under any circumstances.

And, no, she definitely has no filter. We're treated to a recital of her *social* life almost the entire time she spends at work. She only allows any of us to finish speaking so that she can begin again...without responding to what we've said even when it's instructions about how to do something or what needs to be done next. >le sigh<

It's why Retired Lady reminded me the other day of the "God grant me patience" saying and why I repeated it in my earlier post!
 
@Trila šŸ¦ŒšŸ¦ŒšŸ¦ŒšŸ¦Œ Right. Those, too. Brazen, they are. Our subdivision has been here for 40 years and there are many more on all sides, so it's not like they've just been displaced:mad:

Tomorrow is going to be laundry day. While the laundry is laundering, it's probably also going to be blueberry scones day. Are you listening @Mizmo? Blueberry scones. We'll invite @hollydolly, too, if she promises not to show up in her onesie:rolleyes:

Gotta go put the butter in the freezer to make it easier to grate into the flour.
 
Went in for a haircut this afternoon. As I was leaving the shop, I stepped wrong and did a face plant on the sidewalk. After I roused myself I went back in the shop to assess the damage. Classic gash across the bridge of my nose and a few scrapes. Had the thought that since I had already messed my face up the proper next thing would be to go in a nearby bar and start a fight. Decided that was a bad idea so I went home instead.

Dr Me prescribed a couple of bottles of Guinness and a little chair rest.

On the contrary I insist on wearing it... :ROFLMAO:
 
Went to the pharmacy to pick up scripts, come out and there are two police vehicles outside the store. A man laying on the ground unconcious, kind of pulled up on his side in the fetal position, just wearing light clothing, looked to be homeless. Two cops, one was bending over him checking for a pulse, the other walking back to the car with a sad look on his face. I assume he was calling an ambulance.

I went on my way as the last thing that was needed was people standing around. I went to the neighborhood Walmart for a few things. It was a mad house. I thought things would have calmed down after our ice storm last week but it seems everyone was restocking or prepping for the superbowl this weekend. After a 15 minute wait in line to check out I was on the way home.

I decided to wait until tomorrow to do an Aldi run. The only thing I need there for sure it aluminum foil, they have the best price, I buy many rolls and store. Same thing with trash bags, best price, get many, I still have a box left on those. It was good to get out, I had not been out of the house for about 2 weeks.

Thanks for asking HD but I'm fine. Just having a good laugh at myself is all. The poor barber freaked out though.

Just a warning, you may wake up tomorrow and feel the pain. I had a couple of falls the last month, I thought I was okay and the next day after both is when the pain started. You may well have bruising you don't know about yet.
Hollydolly went thru the same thing when she had her fall.
 
@Blessed...two weeks? Good grief, I'd have cabin fever so bad that I'd probably never recover!

I'd forgotten about super bowl weekend. Sheesh! The bakery is going to be a madhouse, then comes Valentine's Day on Tuesday next week, and it'll be a madhouse again. (Dear Sir: Please excuse Gramma from the schedule until Wednesday next week. She plans to have a hangnail or some other lame excuse not to work.)

@Llynn Ouch. It might be a good idea to be proactive and apply cold packs to the bridge of your nose and maybe avoid black eyes in the morning.

I started on some new muscle relaxers and there was not way I was going to drive loopy, then we had a big ice storm. It was kind of out of my control. Yes, it is going to be a madhouse. I thought I would shop today to miss it but the madness has commenced!!

Wanted to ask you about the croissants, do you make them there from scratch or do they come in frozen. Just thaw/proof and bake. If they do come in frozen has anyone asked to buy the frozen product? I would love to buy the frozen product if they are available.
 
@Blessed, our main bakery in Louisville makes the croissants, flash freezes, ships them to the stores. All we do is thaw, proof, bake, package and...sell.

When there's time, I lay out the trays before I leave at noon and roll the racks into the cooler to put in the proofer first thing in the morning. They thaw nicely and doing that saves me time in the morning when time is something there's just not enough of. When they go into the proofer thawed, it takes about 45 minutes before they're ready for the oven. From frozen, it takes about 10 minutes to lay them out, then an hour in the proofer before they go into the oven.

AFAIK, nobody has ever asked to buy them frozen. They come 120 to a carton, and I would think that they could be sold by the carton. No idea how much they'd cost, though. I do know that we've sold other products frozen, but when we do, we have to sell by the carton.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have two fridge freezers, gave up my big freezer years ago. Only me here now, even if they would sell me a carton, I could not share with the sons family, they have the same freezer space I do.
I just really like to have things at hand, frozen, I can pull out and use. I do a lot of batch cooking and freeze for future convenience. I can make most bread things I want but a croissant is way above my pay grade. I don't do pie crust either, use the same thing you do, and they freeze fine.
