It's been wet yesterday and now cold today.
Not anything I could do outside.
Now we're heading into a cold streak for a few days. It's 42 right now and a possible dip to 32 this coming week. But hey, then we have a return to 60's by the end of the week. Gotta love Houston weather.
We had about 3 inches of rain at the farm Friday thru Saturday. Good for the garden and the fruit trees.
It was a good time for an oven roasted chicken.
2nd Man sliced up sweet potatoes and put them in the bottom of a cast iron pan. Then he rubbed olive oil and salt and pepper on a chicken, put it on top of the sweet potatoes and popped it in a 400 degree oven (this one was about 45 mins).
Hobart has the right idea today. We got out of bed and he gets in while it's still warm, head on the pillow and stretches out.
Rotten cat.
Hope you had a good weekend!
hobart has the right idea for a lazy sunday!
ReplyDeleteI joined him a couple times today, ha.
Deletehobart is one smart kitty. i think that rain is coming here later this week.
ReplyDeleteYep the rain stopped here but it looks like it's moving that way. Hope it doesn't freeze and turn into snow.
DeleteI got about the same amount of rain, so my garden and fruit trees are also happy. My oranges and kumquats are getting ripe and I’ve picked a few of them.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken and sweet potatoes look delicious – 2nd Man really knows how to warm up a cold, rainy weekend.
And Hobart really knows how to keep himself warm and cozy. So smart of him to get into your warm bed. Cats know all the best places! My old kitty is on my lap right now – her favorite place in this cold weather.
I made some garlic-potato soup – so nice and warm on a cold day and it boosts the immune system.
I just checked the weather forecast. It’s supposed to be 36 tonight and 34 tomorrow night here – so I’m going to close up the AgFabric and blankets around my key lime trees just to make sure they are safe. The other citrus should be fine.
Stay warm!
Cats are smart, that's for sure. I tucked the citrus up against the wall of the house on the porch. Should be ok, they were unscathed there after the last bigger freeze. Fingers crossed. I will bring them back into town the first big freeze in the forecast.
DeleteDinner sounds lovely on a cold damp night.
Oh I feel like Hobart today!!! :) Nice chicken! We're having a roasted chicken dinner on Thursday I can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteWe love a good old fashioned roast chicken. Isn't it wonderful? Comfort food for sure. Enjoy yours and of course stay warm up there!!
DeleteHa! You don't know the meaning of cold! Lol :)
ReplyDeleteI understand. I don't think I'd like that cold bed as much as I think I would...when it's 25 below, ha.
DeleteIts like everyone is getting hit with abnormal winter weather. Still, its nothing a good roast chicken can't fix. At our family Christmas Party yesterday we all brought gifts to swap. Ours was our home grown meat including a roaster chicken. Could not believe how those relatives fought over it! A bunch of animals I tell ya.
ReplyDeleteThe Winter has been weird everywhere this year and the last few too. Hey, I'd fight over one of your home grown chickens! I bet they are delish!! Stay warm! Or dry! Or cool? ha.
DeleteI'm not really fond of the cold, but I feel it could always be worse like it is in some areas but I must say; I sure will be glad when Spring arrives.
ReplyDeleteThe roasted chicken looks fantastic but even make it better yet by wrapping in bacon...…...Oh Ya Baby.
I think Hobart does have the right idea; finding a nice comfy spot and take a nap or just not get out of bed when it's so cold. One thing about Texas; it really
( well normally) doesn't stay cold for long
Yes, it could be MUCH worse, we'll take what we get and deal with it, ha. Another vote for bacon wrapped chicken we will try that.
DeleteAnd yep, here in the big T, we just wait and it will change.
