Sunday Stormy weekend

 Hi Everyone!

I guess winter is upon us. We are in a wicked storm that is hitting the entire Pacific coast. We have just stayed in, watched movies, tried to stay warm and made each other laugh. It's a good thing. After 45 years together that we can still laugh so hard that our cheeks hurt.

One thing Mr. M. can eat with the CKD are tacos. One night this week I made chicken breast, home canned potato tacos. Of course there were onions from the garden, red bell pepper and some good seasoning.
 
I did add some sour cream to mine and we had some home canned refried beans to go with it.   

 Before the rains started I went out to the garden to see that my Nasturtiums are taking over this corner. That is perfectly fine with me. I think it is choking out the Borage though. 

 


 

Taking over the Pork n Bean plant too.

Also this Roma tomato plant thinks it's summer 


 It is loaded with tomatoes, some turning red.

 And new blossoms all over the plant. I will have to check on it today when the rain lets up.

 

 The other thing I have been doing this weekend is trying to get a good photo of me for the FFO Self Portrait challenge. OMG! I already told you how I DO NOT take good photos at all. I have notice that my face has changed so much with lupus and 25 years of on and off prednisone. However, I will get something I can live with and be ready. 

I hope you will join in. Here are the rules.

FFO self portrait, I ask that it is really you from any age. Please include the photo you worked from. If you are creating from life, like looking in a mirror just show any photo of you now. 
Any medium can be used except a photograph. Ya know, you can't just put a photo of yourself. However, it can be realism, character, surreal, abstract as long as we can see you in the art. 
 Any kind of expression. Create you as you see yourself. Now, I know this can take awhile. It will for me. So you have until November 28, 2025 to show your face on FFO. That gives you 5 weeks to work on it. 
 
That's it for me. I have to get this house warmed up. 
Have a great Sunday.

Laughter gets us through life, that's for sure.
