Rainy and Cold...

When we got up this morning you could tell it was going to rain. The old clouds started rolling end and the wind was really blowing. I made breakfast of potatoes, eggs, and bacon. We just sat down to eat and the rain cut loose. This was good because I did not have to go out and water. But it only lasted about 20 minutes and it began to get muggy. I went ahead and started the laundry as I only had a couple of loads. The wind really began to blow and poor Buster took for cover downstairs. Beth left to go to the mall and I began cutting up the 25 pounds of onions. I had 4 bags finished when Beth came back home. I stopped as my hands were really hurting and I could not hold on the knife anymore. Beth made us some lunch and you could tell the wind was starting to blow a little cooler. Beth cut up the last bag of onions and we took them to the freezer. We sat down to watch the Phillies lose to the Braves. During the game I was looking for something different to do with the pork tenderloin I had in the fridge. I found a recipe that called for a cinnamon apple raisin chutney poured on top and backed. It sounded good, so I tried it. I also made sweet potato fries and peas. Boy was it really good and we will be keeping the recipe to make again. By dinner time I had to shut all the windows. The wind was still blowing and the temperature was down to 55 degrees. I expect it to be the same tomorrow. Beth was able to fix the drainage pipe, so no more rivers in the flower bed. Good job my girl. We have lunch plans with Beth parents tomorrow at 3pm, so we will be having a late breakfast and I will at least get to sleep late. The pool is doing better, but we have to buy a new scrub brush for the sides and bottom of the pool. No picture today, sorry.
