A trip to The Lou sidetracked any real route K projects. While away, I watched ducks and chickens break out of their shells in someone's kitchen. We dumpstered food three nights from Aldi's-retail is so bourgeosie. Lot's of fruit to put up...and bread, evil white bread (but wheat and raisin too) and meat to gift about. Oh, and more baklava than should be legal to possess. I sliced 4 or 5 pineapple to fill up a dehydrator. I held onto 4 loaves of raisin bread to freeze for emergency french toast rations.

I had left my plant starts in the house and somehow they survived-42 degrees inside when I got back. I had added open jars of water to the tote they were in and covered it with plastic wrap I found before placing a fluorescent desk lamp over it all. There was a snow storm while I was away(9") but it is pretty well melted now so I will put some seed out in the garden soon. Warm weather from here out, right?
