| Mabel's Breakfast |
Gotta give an update on the business of soaking onion skins in water overnight for plants. Last week gave it a try, and Mabel, our Christmas Cactus, is covered with blooms. Must be the real deal, so before bed last night we put a few onion skins in a small bowl of clear water. Here's what it looks like this morning. Will now drain the water off and give it to Mabel for breakfast.Cannot imagine how many onion skins we've thrown in the garbage over the years. Supposedly, one can drink it as a healthy tea. Another thing we've started doing is saving potato peelings, putting them on a foil-covered cookie sheet in the oven till crispy. Springle salt on em'. Sounds crazy, but they're really fun. Like mini french fries.
Still no snow. Gloomy doomy looking day out there. According to the recent weather radar, we're right on the edge of the snow storm. Unless things change, we probably won't get any. Am thinking about painting the deck white to look like snow.
