LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH.

Storms rolling through daily, sometimes all night and all day. Means Charlette is a walking basket case and I am a zombie from exhaustion. 

Both of us worn out. She did sleep decent today... as the storm that was to come in DID NOT. Supposed to get the next T storms at midnight SO, Vet said to give her 2 of what we have at 9/ 9:30 so it is already working. He is putting her on meds 3 times a day until these storms quit rolling through day after day. His own dog is on the same meds.

Good news BASEMENT has remained DRY.  I have 2 large shelfing units to declutter in freezer room, one has paper products and vaccum seal supplies.... those will be moved out of that area and I will put canning items there as I lost space due to sump pump. I can put a roll cart in from of the escape window.I haven't figured out the bucket room or pantry room. Pasta/ dehydrated foods is being debated on going to loft or staying in basement but WILL be put over into BUCKETS.

Got all the new buckets and gamma lids washed and dried.

Waiting for the peas to make, they bloomed.

Cleared gardens  except for the wax beans to dry for soup beans and the KY wonder beans and purple beans to finish drying on the vine for next year's seeds.

Hubby said he was leaving the beds that had the wild flowers and tulips until next spring for the small animals. I am leaving the berry vines for same reason. I will prune in Feb.

Will have to start new strawberry beds. 

I ordered some new clothes as the ones I am wearing are so big on me that I am safety pinning them or should be moved to paint clothes. I haven't bought much clothers in 10 yrs.
