I love my chickens
I kissed all the girls and played with their little beaks......and petted their wattles........

they in turn talked in soft chickens warbles back to me

everyone needs chickens

marguerite laid her first egg since breaking this brood........and I brought it up all warm........


happy birthday dear chickie booms.........

momma loves you all

I really am still here

wow I haven't said ANYTHING in such a long time

ok I been canning
( yup and knitting and gardening as well)

peaches came on........
so I got more of the
I was given green, and yellow beans.........boom in the jars

and carrots
so they also are in the jars

I am still disorganized

I haven't done a 'real' shopping in about a year!
just shopping the specials and the sales
so we are out of things like oatmeal.............. and bullion
stuff like that
and sadly bernie hasn't had a really really great meal (he's had some pretty darn good ones though) in a while

I finished up canning peach butter at 9 pm last night
today I am scheduled to teach, but I don't know if I have a full class or not......

the garden is late......the tomatoes and the beans are starting to come on however......
so I hope we get enough for the winter......
I topped my tomatoes off last night.. pinching the growin tips and the suckers so that maybe they would ripen the fruits

moron neighbor is throwing rocks about 6 inches long into our garden now
especially at the green beans.

I weeded some of the garden and found just how MUCH rocks he's been throwing.....
he keeps this up he is going to need to buy more rocks and gravel.......

Bernie is looking for a new job

he is a mechanic....... an auto tech.......
he is paid flat rate

please google 'flat rate mechanic'

he can work a 60 hour week and get paid for 24, and he has.......many many times..........
since he is an honest mechanic, takes pride in his work and has less then 1% comeback rate.....he fixes it right the first time.

so I am looking for a new job for him OUTSIDE the auto industry.

something that pays hourly or salary.


send him lots of good luck vibs please
and me too as we have got to move from here with these crazy neighbors
