Today I ...hmm...what all did I do? Well, last night was this Moonlight Madness Sale at Orchelins farm/home store so, knowing I needed tires for the camper and that they had a pair of Carhartts already 1/3 off (the sale was 20% off after 9:30 w/25% off any sale/markdown items),  I went to both north and south stores to get the 2 tires I needed and also got the pants. Today I removed 2 of the old tires from wheels and did some sanding and painting on the wheels and got around to mounting one of the tires- having 3 hands would be a help. It was a fine day to work outside on the mountain bike I picked up at Salida Co. garage sale. I put on 2 good tires and tubes I had around. The bike works fine...and was made in USA- and I only have $30 in it.
       I'm collecting walnuts every day or so as they fall-one tree in particular is laden w/them. The yellow tomatoes are full of blossoms but I think the cool temps means they won't be developing much more fruit. I had been collecting acorns to try making flour or cooking with but threw them all back after some research. It seems like too much heating and all to do to reduce tannin and cook them into flour or dry as "nuts". The dandelion greens all look good- like they think it's spring and really started popping after the end of the drought and our recent cooler temps and rains.
