Rained In

We have had rain for a week now. While many of you may be snowed in we are rained in here in N. Florida. Cool temperatures with everything being waterlogged makes being outside very undesirable. I have been taking advantage of this time to decorate, bake and watch a movie every now and then. I watched 'Food Inc.' and it encouraged me to continue to grow as much of my own food as possible and also to buy local food products. I am going to set up a jar today to sprout some broccoli seeds to eat as sprouts on my salads.

This weekend I plan on making candy for Christmas gifts. Also going to make homemade Dog Biscuits giving them to friends and family with dogs as gifts. I found several really cute stainless steel dog food bowls with dog paw prints on the sides of the bowls on the clearance table at Ross. Going to fill the bowls with dog biscuits. Finish up my Christmas Cards and get them in the mail Monday. Finish reading my new issue of 'Countryside & Small Stock Journal.

As I sit here trying to figure out what else to write here on my blog/journal I am looking out the window and wondering if the Ducks and Chickens have had enough of this rain. I open the coops when the sun rises and they roam freely going back into the coops at dusk. They wonder about in the rain and it seems not to bother them.
