Friday

Well the day started out quite wet with tons of fog. We haven't seen the sunshine since Wednesday and we are starting to mildew. I noticed when we came back from Galax this morning the fungi had really started to take over the back yard. They had popped up every where.There is a tree on top that within 2 days has some of the most beautiful fungi I have ever seen. Hopefully I can get a picture. This red in color fungi is growing up the side of an old oak tree.

The trip to Galax was uneventful even if visibility was about 2 car lengths most of the way into town. We made the appointment on time and by 10 AM we were on our way to Wal-Mart to catch up on some shopping. The fog somewhat lifted in Galax and the rain stopped. After gassing up we headed home to once again see heavy fog and a light rain on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We made it back to the cabin around noon and decided since the rain stopped momentarily we would try to get a hike in before lunch. The hike was uneventful but the woods were soaking wet. After getting back to the cabin we had a frozen pizza for lunch.

After lunch the rain held off long enough for me to pick beans. I noticed most of the new lettuce and mustard greens I transplanted on Tuesday were just washed away or drowned. Oh well such is the life of a farmer(gardener). After picking beans I just chilled and read until it was time to help prepare supper.

We decided we wanted Taco salad for supper as we had tons of fresh tomato's, lettuce, jalapeno peppers and cukes for the topping. Man was that good eatin'. You take flour tortilla's smeared with refried beans, add ground beef, chopped onions, cukes, tomato's, lettuce, jalapeno peppers(optional)tomato's then add a couple spoons of sour cream and then sprinkle some Taco Bell sauce on top. I like the HOT; Nancy likes the MILD. I even use a little Tabasco sauce, also.

Well we are chillin' tonight. LATER
