Morning ...

I reckon that 5:30 AM will soon become normal wake up time.

Some of us are hard wired for that!

Been a 5:30 riser for decades now. I feel guilty AF sleeping in until 6:06!

5:30? How do you folks sleep so late?

No roosters inside city limits?

I'd be waking the roosters up here if we had any. LOL. I can sleep later if I want...I just have to stay up/wait to take my pill. It's a 6 hour ride...and maybe a bit more now that my body has remembered how to sleep. If I take it too early in the evening...I'll see all sorts of early morning hours on the clock most folks don't see.

I’m a morning person naturally. I’ll also feel guilty if not up and at ‘em. However, as I get older and more sleep deprived as a result of my children’s sleep whims (see above) those cold, dark wake ups hurt a little more

Having kids definitely changed my sleep patterns. Losing one of them further screwed the pooch. I'm glad I can get my 6 now even if it is forced/drug-induced. Without that pill I just can't shut the damn movie off.

If you're rural you know the limitations of the overall "shopping experience". Very few stores with very little inventory...always @ full retail price or more. If it wasn't for my slight/minimal skill in making something work from nothing most of the time...I'd come up empty handed every trip.

Thus...Amazon gets more of my biz than they should. I hate going to town/shopping as it is...and when ya don't have inventory time and time again or say "we can order that for you"... I just pass from there on out cus I can do the same thing. Duh. It has to be an emergency anymore for me to go search for what they don't seem to have. If I have a few days to burn/it isn't a dire emergency I just order and wait to do the task til the goods show up.

Where I live now, I'm 5 min away from Home Depot, Walmart, etc. I have lived places where it was a real expedition to get any kind of store bought stuff. Sucks.

I got up for decades for work and such at 4-5:00 AM and now I still feel guilty too if I sleep to 6.
Can't say as I'll turn down an afternoon nap though.

Coffee to all may you have a great day and a better night

Clear as a bell this morning with a little north wind. Supposed to have highs about 60 for the next week.
Poor Roxy feels like crap after her shots yesterday, she didn't even eat her bone this morning.
Mornin.

Cause I don't get to sleep until between 1:30 and 2:00 AM - I gotta get my 3.5 to 4 hours nightly. If I actually fell asleep quickly - like Mrs. S. does - I would probably be getting up at 3:30 most mornings too.

Greetings all I've been away.
I'm probably an expert on insomnia, I was sleep deprived for over 25 years. I made life changing decisions trying to escape the misery I was feeling. Turns out I had sleep apnea. I use a CPAP now and while it's annoying as hell I sleep pretty good and no longer pack up my family and move across country at the drop of a hat.

LOL

defoliated the tent plants today. the girls love the leaves, and today there were even a couple of little blooms that didn't make the cut. hope everyone is enjoying their saturday. i'm finishing up a little bowl before getting started on making spring rolls and ramen for dinner.

Installed a new cover for my early lettuce bed. No more squirrels and rabbits. I can throw a furniture pad on top for a redneck coldframe.

Looks like it's almost spring there

I have a frozen crust in those beds. Normally they would be frozen solid right now. If we have another warmup I wouldn't be surprised to see my garlic sprouting.

that's nice set up! we're cobbling together old bits and bobs of lumber, roofing, pvc to build new beds this year. i did 4 years of raised, then in 2020 decided to tear it all out and go with inground rows. this year i'm back to raised beds.
my garlic grew 6", got zapped by the freeze, and are now making a second push. it's always my favorite thing to grow.

You can't stop garlic! I started replacing my old rotting raised beds a couple years ago. Getting older personally is the impetus for that! This year I have plans for one more bed to complete my scheme and I'm sowing all my paths with prostrate herb varieties. I'll be boring everyone here with my projects as always!
