Got a Gurney's catalog in today's mail. No garden yet. The selection is a lot slimmer than I remember.

Just reading material! 
with your snow, yeah, no garden now.
A lot of the sites have on line catalogues but, I still like to handle one. You will NEED a garden or a good place to buy fresh -- gotta use that canner!! I'm so loaded with seeds I could go without buying a thing but, I will get a couple things. Tradition, right?

Still haven't found a property we like yet. Local prices have crept up as supply dwindles. I have a family friend who has a small farm, supplies produce to the local farmers market. Patience for finding something is wearing thinJust reading material!

Might be hangry. I've been fasting because I am defrosting the fridge. Planning to go shopping to re-stock tonight and get Chinese takeaway (if it is open). Probably not the healthiest way to break the fast lol.
I tried to get all my food orders from the local general store but each week they have given me one or more rotten items and I just don't have the energy to argue for a refund. Small town gossip is worse than the second grade. It would be better for me to drive and find things on special in shops rather than pay full price for specifically ordered stuff that is hit and miss. Its still better than the last owners, but I am frustrated that I cant expect people here to follow the food safety laws. (This town doesnt follow many safety laws at all to be honest).
I love life out side of the city, but sometimes it pisses me off!

Agreed with you. It's a false economy if the produce you buy is already half rotten.

The wife and I were looking at the Lehman's email ad she got this morning. 60% off sale for some in store items. Its a 90 minute drive, usually worth it, but nothing we need. Hopes were dashed. Lolol.

Gotta have those coffee filters! Get two pkgs while you're out, lol.
We're just a little damp this morning from yesterday's rain. (Major understatement) We got a fast 3/4 inch and most of it fell on me, lol.
there’s a whole lot more rain out there and I hope it stays away. Unfortunately, we might not be that lucky.
