1. I finished a really great book! Woody Guthrie and the Dust Bowl Ballads. It's a graphic novel by Nick Hayes, a biography of sorts about Woody's life up until the forties, but it's more than just that--the art is perfect for the telling of those difficult times (all browns and sepia tones, with an angular style that just fits), but the prose is beautiful and lyrical even when speaking of dreadful fires or horrible dust storms or the horrible crushing poverty of the average people of those times. It resonates greatly with today. I HIGHLY recommend it!
2. The DH and I watched "Zootopia" tonight on Netflix. What a delightful and fun movie!
3. We harvested more sweet potatoes today. So far I think we've gotten about 8 pounds. We still have about a third of the bed left to harvest.
4. I finished working on my sewing/craft room today. I do have a couple of boxes to sort through left, but they are now all tidy and stacked in a corner, along with a box that will go to a thrift store on Tues. (Around here all the thrift stores are closed Mondays).
5. We had homemade vegetable soup, along with cornbread and for me, buttermilk to drink, for supper tonight. I do believe that's one of my favorite meals.

The book looks awesome, I'll have to save up so I can get it.

I loved Zootopia, I think it's one of my favorites.

Yum, that meal does sound delicious.

Can you believe I've never tasted buttermilk?

Buttermilk in food is delicious. Buttermilk by itself is a thing to be avoided at all costs!
