Domain Hostings of America

I took a hit off my business account and made a $50.00 payment to Domain Registration of America for two years registration of my Morpheus Creative Photography business web site. Hopefully, it will make my web site more widely known. If so, then an investment well worth it.

Onward.

I am planning ahead now to the next Farmers' Market. I am making out seed orders so that I can begin to plant for that first day in May when the Market will again start. Best be saving some money as well so that I can get the seasons' pass paid for too.

What to do when not gardening

Seed catalogs start to come in at this time of the year. But, I won't begin to truly check them out or order anything until January of 2008. So, I am instead planning on some holiday cooking and gift giving. Bought some mandarin oranges in a 5 lb box today and then went looking for recipes in which to use them. In most cases, the recipes call for canned and then drained oranges. Well now, how about freshly peeled out of the box mandarin oranges? I believe that I can figure an 11 oz. can to be about 4 oranges and go from there to make a bread, a cake, a pie, a batch of cookies, and slow-cooked mandarin orange chicken. You got it, that some of what is made will become holiday gift giving.

I also plan on a sauce. Just thinking that I could can this and send it along as a condiment to close relatives. Only one could not use it because he is diabetic.

This is now November and there is a promise of snow in the forecast by next weekend, a few days before Thanksgiving. What is going to be a real headache for a lot of people, and that is if the weather in N. Idaho gets particularly brutal, natural gas for heating has now shot through the roof as has the price of oil. That is going to make for a very ugly winter for a lot of people.
