114 this morning.

Tamagno - How often do you 'hear' the wolves calling at night?  Do they ever cause problems for the area farmers as far as wolves being a predator on livestock?

Bigskygal - You were brave to do a bunch of shopping while waiting for an appointment for haircut.  It must have taken a while to have an appointment open up.  As to todays fashions, what do you think of the style of womens jeans having patches and holes in them from the manufacturer?  One picture on facebook showed a CGM in one hole of the ladies jeans and her pump peaking through another hole.  Can't see that looks "cool" but then what do I know at my age?

94 this morning.  After I posted yesterday we started to get some more rain and ended up with about 1/4 inch.  Rare around here in May but nice.  We only got to 66° for our high but it should start to warm back up. 
When I lived up on the mountain we were away from the lights of the cities and it was really great to go outside at night and see the moon, stars and occasional meteor shower.  We had bears, mountain lions bob cats and coyotes but no wolves.  Never had a problem with any of those but I agree Tamagno, I would have to think twice about going out with wolves.

105 this partly cloudy morning, 97 at bedtime last night.

Grammabear, I had a 45 minute wait for my hair cut so I just did a quick pass through Ross. I did the other shopping afterward. I really hate that they now promote online sign up. I walked in and there were 3 people sitting ahead of me but about 4 others not there, that were signed up ahead of me.

As far as the torn jeans I don't like them and would never spend money on them, not even from a thrift store. The other thing that bugs is the cold shoulder tops.

Night this morning.

Ladies, if fashion appeals, sometime take a quick look at the Bergdorf Goodman web site and then ask yourself who in the world buys that stuff.

Only started hearing wolves about two years ago and it's slowly increasing. Haven't heard anything specific from farmers, but there's a herd of about a dozen that are left free to forage in the woods behind us; I'd imagine they're at risk these days.

135 this morning.

Tamagno - Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the wolves.  We don't have them around this part of the country, but we do have coyotes and lots of them.

I will have a look at the fashion website you mentioned.  I will never understand the process where people have ragged clothes on their body and call it "fashionable".

Baby ducks are so cute and I hope they survive long enough for you to enjoy them Barbara.  We had a nest of baby Robins and then all of a sudden they disappeared.  I suspect Mr. Hawk made a meal from them. Sad but part of nature I guess.

This reminds me of a story I read yesterday.

Every single year for at least a decade, a mother duck and her children have been visiting an upstate New York hospital for an annual parade.

Kind of a neat good news story.

102 this morning.  Very windy yesterday but calm and sunny today.  It should start warming up now.  Next week we are supposed to be in the mid 80s.
I dug up a recipe the other day for Machaca which is Mexican shredded beef and is great for tacos, burritos and mixed in an omelet.  The original Machaca was dried beef and could be kept for a long time without spoiling.  I took a 3 pound chuck roast and cooked it for 6 hours in a crock pot with seasoning, bell peppers, onion and Rotel tomatoes.  After it is cooked you shred it with two forks and you get a bunch of shredded beef.  I haven't tried it yet but it sure smelled good cooking all day.  I'll try it out tonight.

Cute article Wally. Shottlebop had Machaca on his menu a few weeks ago, I googled it as I didn't know what it was and added several recipes to my recipe folder on Evernote. It really looks good!

Amusing story indeed. I wonder if it's the same mother, as surely, the ducklings are a new lot every year.

145 this morning.

Every few years, we get a mother duck here who generally stays long enough to hatch her eggs and then moves on. Wouldn't mind if they stayed on, but they never do.

Wally, that Machaca recipe sounds terrific (perfect for your Traeger). I'm going to think that over and see if there's some way I can slow cook that over coals with smoke. It'd make a great ingredient for a frittata (a sort of Italian omelette).

101 this morning.

My blood glucose has been on a roller coaster according to my continuous blood glucose monitor.  I had a respectable breakfast yesterday of two eggs, two slices bacon and a cup of coffee with heavy whipping cream.  Yet my blood sugar numbers climbed to 174 and I just don't get it.  Tomorrow is another day I guess.

97 this morning.  It is supposed to get to 80° today but tomorrow and Monday it is going to be cloudy, windy, cooler and maybe even a bit of rain.  Monday may not be a good day for using the BBQ but it probably won't stop us.
Yeah, it was the post by ShottleBop that started me searching for Machaca and finding the recipe.  Tamagno, yes the Traeger probably would work good also but using the slow cooker lets it absorb all of the seasoning and spices.  The meat is a cheap cut so slow cooking for a long time makes it just fall apart.  I suppose you could make a rub with the seasoning and slow cook it on the Traeger but it is so easy in the crock pot.

106 this partly cloudy morning, 92 at bedtime last night.

The big rain we were supposed to get fizzled out, which is fine with me! Looks like the high today settled at 63°. There is still rain in the forecast, but I'll believe it when I see it.
