Sorry Plants

Those cabbage plants I put outside are looking pretty sorry.  Dang.  Does this look familiar to anyone?

They may have been burned by the sun; I didn't take them out a little bit each day to harden them off.  They may be reacting to the cold, but that seems unlikely.  They may have gotten too hot before I realized how warm it got inside that little greenhouse and opened it up.  They look sorry, but they may survive.  I hope.

The sun came out and the cows have been enjoying it.  We see them eating a little on the pasture once in a while, so there must be a little grass growth.

For as much as we cook, you'd thing we'd make a full dinner every day, but you'd be dead wrong.  By evening I'm wiped out.  I prefer to make a big pot and eat on it for upwards of a week.  Today we made chili.  Here it is at the beginning — soaked beans at the bottom of the pot, onions, meat, tomato sauce, molasses, chili power, salt, and zucchini.  I put grated zucchini in all soups — we have gobs and it's a nice thickener.   This will feed for us for at least five meals.  Praise God!
