I thought frost improved the flavor of kale. I know it does collards and Brussel sprouts. 

It does, as far as I am aware. Unless Albert is growing a variety that is not frost hardy...

My week 30 out of 52 monochrome. I called this one "Fungal Fruiting Bodies" (that's just a fancy way of saying "mushrooms").  

What a delicious photo.  The varied textures and shapes are so wonderfully interposed from the grass to the stone blocks. This is one of my favorites.

GAH *runs away in horror*    

Beautiful pic.  It looks like a glass bowl.  I don't care about pics of fungus, as long as I don't have to eat it.

Imagine the horrors that await next week when we're nearer Halloween ... might it be a photo of freshly shelled peas? 😲

Good thing we don't have any of those here.

Unfortunately, it's far too late in the year to have peas still to pod over here in Ireland (at least from my own garden).  

But I do have some podded ones from the summer in the freezer. Maybe one day in the week I'll make myself a shepherd's pie, and take a photo of a serving of it on a plate, showing all those delicious spherical Pisum sativum seeds adding to the colour, and the flavour, of the dish.

Your aunt sounds like a great lady   

We may hit a record high here today.  It's sunny out and really warm-- in the mid 70s.  I got up early and went to the grocery store to pick up a few things along with my prescriptions.  Unfortunately I left my list at home   I still did pretty good though.  I only forgot two things that were on the list.  I'm making a cauliflower and butternut squash curry for lunch.  I was going to make it for dinner, but couldn't wait   It smells sooo goood in here 🤤

Gorgeous day here too, but it has been raining unbelievably heavy for over an hour... lots of thunder and lightning...

It's on its way here.  I've been seeing lightning strikes for a while.  Temps are still warm - 73F, but are going to drop into the 40s overnight.  Stay safe!  I hope your mare is in

No, she's out, but it's still kind of warm. I'll put her in when the rain stops... if she'll come...

Wowee... the storm's here now, that's for sure!  O.o  High winds and rain all of a sudden.  Good thing I already closed all the windows!

What he said

[Valkyrie]

Good morning!  We set a record yesterday... 81F! Of course, it dropped to the 40s overnight and will stay that way through the weekend.  We got a storm last night, but it was sunny when Joker decided to wake me up by singing the song of his people loudly and repeatedly while using the door as percussion accompaniment.    Dark clouds have moved in again.  It's a good day for writing. 

[Albert1434]

Aloha All

I have to take my mom to the doctor's office this morning.  She fell yesterday and hurt her knee  

[Albert1434]

I hope she gets well soon Val
