it's a bit cold here......... duh, it's SO COLD here
that the rhodo is little wires instead of leaves!
now this morning i planted sweet banana pepper seeds, they did very well last year and i began to make a sort of cooking sauce/mix out of them, onions, garlic and meat juices.
it was good with pork and chicken, i imagine it would also be good with beef.....
so this season i would like to can 48- 4oz jars of it
next i will plant the sweet italian peppers i use for drying, followed by the stuffing peppers, as well as the frying and fresh peppers for salads and pickling
we love sweet peppers around here
the tomatoes this year will be yellow, orange, green, black, white and pink..... with maybe two red slicers..... bernie found out he likes pink, and orange for slicers!
i am hoping to get a nice deep raised bed for carrots. i am going to grow them in sawdust & sand if i do.....
our little hard working garden is so cramped but still manages to really produce a lot of crops like beans.....( last year was great)
i long for a larger garden with the ability to plant out 50 pepper plants and 50 tomatoes and 100 feet of broccoli etc......
but for now, we have this
i am also trying to think of a second place to plant my pole beans
as i would like to have enough to freeze and can ( and two years worth)
so meanwhile
i wish you all dreams of the perfect garden, a balance of pests and preditors in your garden, high yeilds and new ungrown before crops

hold the celebration.....
well the new office chair may end up as BERNIE'S new office chair
i think it is built for a person with MUCH longer legs
but it's still better then the hard wooden kitchen chair
in other news.........
i am working on decluttering the house
specifically the never ending paper work.....
my friend marilyn down in florida suggested getting a couple of boxes and putting labels on them as to what will be in there......and sorting it first
i am going to have to do a total reorganize of over twenty years
because of the paper work on the house....etc
so i figure this way
(in list of labeling)
that's a LOT of boxes i think
but i think marilyn is right
and if there is a place to put it
it should go very fast
i plan to devote a few hours each morning to this, until i get it done. When the boxes are all done and all the saved paperwork is filed properly, they will be sealed and stored ( or tossed) BUT either way, it should not only make space in the house but be the start of decluttering in preperation to move.
i think i am going to set them up on a sawhorse with a couple planks in the living room and set the timer for me to work on it
one day at a time no?
i plan on gardening and canning and then being able to settle after supper and knit
my reward for a productive day
also, i am going to look into a grain mill, and bulk whole grain, i am working on a lowered carb, high fiber bread.....and i am leaning towards sourdough.
we sooooooo have to move
as i want to put in strawberry beds, and blueberries and cranberries
oh my

rise up rise up.....on the floor no longer
office max just called......
they will be delivering my NEW computer chair
woooooo hoooooooo!!!
i know you all think that isn't really exciting news
but truly i am sick of sitting almost on the floor
or a wooden kitchen chair
i miss the cushy softness of a nice managers chair
this one is got a cloth seat
so the cats are going to have fun
my other had leather and they didn't bother it
by tonight my fat assets will be cradled in cushiony softness
and all will be right in the world
which brings me to my OTHER projects
i am going to start ( heaven help me) decluttering the paperwork in the house
i got twenty years or more worth of decluttering
a lot of stuff i do have to save
but now we have a shredder, i can start to ditch all those free credit card offers etc
i was too worried about idendity theft to toss in the garbage before
the sheer magnitude of the project has me nuts
but i figure ........ if i start it.....
it should eventually be done
what with gardening/canning seasons starting
and the beginning of the kal for
Moroccan Days / Arabian Nights-Pattern only
Woolen Rabbit-Kit, yarn and pattern
but the paperwork needs to be done and i need to get stuff packed so we can move
( everyone send good moving to a farm wishes please....and my babies come home?)
ok
off i go and wait for the chair
til next time

soon o soon the chair......
we went out and bought me a new office/computer chair today
office max had them on sale
they deliver it wednesday
wow i will be able to actually NOT type over my head
(if you all could see me now in my little broken chair.....i am on the floor!)
while there we got a 4 in 1 to replace my scanner that the cats totalled
with luck.......
they won't bother this one
which incidently was only 99.00!!!!!!
i am SHOCKED as my old scanner cost 4 times that....
but i did love my scanner .....it was an epson perfection and it was the BEST
this one is an epson too
it came with a shredder which we also needed
bernie got home finally at about 10:15 this morning
he plowed us out and watered/fed the duckies
we then did errands
we got the extention cords for the ducks water heater.....which is going in tomorrow
then the office chair and scanner
finally milk so i could make yogurt
(it's sitting next to the woodstove in it's little blanket)
milk is now 3.73 a gallon!
huh?
I said to bernie.....we got a MILK GOAT
what the hell are we doing BUYING MILK?
but see the goat isn't freshened as she is being boarded
and she is over an hour away
a little too far to run twice a day to milk her
i SWEAR
when we move
i am not only getting violet home.....but i am getting a mini milk cow
and a pigmy buck to put on violet for kinder goats
oye
3.73 a gallon.....
and i bet the dairy got about 20 cents a gallon......
i wish there was a raw milk jersey dairy around here
like in my YARD

when bernie gets home.....
bernie runs an ambulance fleet
so during storms and such he stays with the fleet to make sure that the 911 ambulances can get out
he stayed with the fleet last night
but he called me a bit ago that he was on his way home
his day crew can handle what little bit is left now
he said when he gets home he is going to do the ducks ( it's killing me not to run out there to check on them)
i am watching them from the window
they are actually enjoying the snow!
they are eatting it and playing in it
i've seen them doing that before
they also like ice chips!
i give them fresh water twice a day..... and when i break out the ice in the morning they eat the chips!
they do eventually get around to the liquid water but those silly ducks like the ice chips!
ok so we are going to town, i need a new chair.....my computer chair is totally finished
milk to make yogurt
bread flour
a scanner or an all in one
to get to the po
and i think the feed and grain
i want more wild bird seed
i am trying to think of how i can put in a patch of grain for the poultry,
without the really horrible neighbors destroying it
i could use that resource this year, i got all that land i can't use!
speaking of the birds..... marguerite went all broody on me again
i was discussing this the other day with her
me: 'marguerite, dear, you need to get up'
marguerite: 'i am going to be a mother'
me: 'marguerite, dear, you aren't going to be a mother, you don't have any thing under you'
marguerite: 'OH YES I AM'
me: 'marguerite dear, to be a mother, you need a father, .......there aren't any fathers around here....they are over an hour away'
marguerite: ( eyeing me in her little chicken way)'it doesn't matter, cause i SAID SO'
me: ' i am going to get the stockpot for that crazy chicken'
what you folks don't have conversations with chickens?
how lonely your lives must be

bumbles don't always bounce
i had a huge scare early early this morning.
i went out to water the ducks and under the snow was the ice
i didn't see it
and i went down like a ton of bricks
i couldn't get up
i was on my stomach and could NOT get up
i yelled but there was no one to hear me
bernie has to stay over down with his fleet so his 911 units get out to save lives
if i didn't figure a way to get up
i would be out there until he came home sometime tomorrow
i crawled over to the garden fence and dragged myslf up it
it will never be the same again
we are going to have to repair it before we plant the garden
i been trying all day to keep moving so i don't get stiff
but damn, i am really banged up
nothing broken thank goodness
but everything hurts
even my feet and fingers
i am going to have to figure a better way to get out to the ducks....even if it's a bit longer
and i think we are going to get a farm collie.....
my dog kiss would stand for me if i fell......... i would get up by leaning on her shoulder
i figure even if a dog now couldn't do that for me
i could send her up the hill to georgie or someone to get help
and she could help me keep the feral jackass animals off the property
and maybe even keep those ducks and chickens in line
i spoke to bernie......we will of course speak a lot more about this
adding a dog is NOT a spontanious decision.
there is a lot to consider
we have to find a good dog school to go to for socialization and basic training with doggie distractions
do a lot of research
and also if possible i would like to find a trainer that has at least some idea of what a thinking dog is like
my kiss thought things out.....
i understand the farm collies do the same
while i was always pack leader..... it was so helpful to have a dog around that could figure stuff out for herself

we are to get a storm
which means bernie may not be able to get home until sunday
i need to make sure i have enough wood in the house.
i also wish i had a cover for the van
we have enough food naturally and oil for the oil lamps
i believe we also have enough emergency water
i will add to bernie's emergency bag for the truck
the one big worry i will have is the ducks.....getting out to the ducks to bring them liquid water.
i am so glad i canned all that ham and potatoes the other day
bernie can take a jar of that, a jar of beef stew, a jar of chili..... and maybe some applesauce etc ......all down to work for himself so he doesn't have to worry about eatting
i should make him take my van too i think
i had PLANNED to go to town and get a new scanner..... or even an all in one
as i have to get something done that needs a scanner/copier....
maybe if i go really early ?
georgie up the hill said she didn't think i was going to be able to go out
but i may have to
we do have enough cat, chicken and duck food.....milk.....
i can bake bread...
but i need that scanner/copier bad
oye

urban farming-micro farming
as some of you know.....i am a firm believer in urban farming
in old fashioned victory gardens,
and in people being more proactive in the production of their foods
i also like to eat locally ( which for me isn't too hard as i have a lot of friends that are farmers....and we grow a lot of our own food here)
i have hopes that soon we will return to goats, chickens and sheep being returned to the urban and suburban areas....
as some of you know i have 4 sheep and a goat that i currently board..... i have more then enough land here but due to zoning.... i can't have them here.
( deer, wild bear and turkey yes.....my sheepies and goatie no-even though my neighbors would be more then happy to see and BORROW my little wooly lawn mowers and brush clearers)
so as you all also know.....we want to move to a larger peice of land so my babies can come home
( and i want a mini jersey milk cow too)
i think small scale family farms and neighborhood cooperation is not only the way of the future, but may end up the way most people that are middle class working folk are going to survive.
every day i hear of food recalls, due to various nasty bacterias or contaminations
it is getting very scary to me
i see on the internet that our children are not only getting fatter, but getting things like ADHD etc.
i think part of it is the NON-FOOD we are feeding ourselves
chemical cocktails that at this point our bodies are not able to fully utilize
while i am not advocating wheat grass shakes and tofu
i AM thinking that NOT putting human growth hormones in our beef
and NOT killing our meat while the animal is terrified out of it's mind is a start in the right direction
i am also thinking that going back to having a backyard cow...... which is a smaller thrifty beast could be a good idea
or milk goats
or milk sheep
one cow per two or three average sized familys?
i am thinking....... at this point
the systems we have in place now are not working really well
and if oil continues to be a problem the practice of bring food long distances won't be workable either
just a few random thoughts
as i wait for my seeds to start

does it ever end?
i spent two hours on the phone today with verizon.....
we are trying to change our cable broadband to dsl.
we would have a savings of 240 a year by doing so
after the two hours of nothing but people who could NOT speak or apparently understand english
that 240 seemed like just not enough savings to me.....
verizon ships with 'in line' filters, which every phone must have to use their service.
fine
except i have wall phones, which have a seperate filter
and they charge you over 10. a peice for them
i needed three
BEFORE i even could decide if i liked this dsl service or not they are soaking me over 30.bucks!
i got so pissed off i told them
you know what, CANCEL this damn service
forget it
i will stay with broadband through the cable company and forget verizon
( and i will find a NEW PHONE option while i am at it)
miracles do happen as the last person i spoke to is sending me the filters i need for nothing
as they don't want to lose me as a customer
ok
then why did verizon put me through hell for over 2 hours
and i still don't have dsl ????????
just one of the little things that make life so damn exciting
( this is sarcasm.....just in case anyone noticed)
i am still not a happy camper..
i am thinking verizon owes me and bernie a meal at a resturant for the over 2 hour run around i got today
with a lot of folks that didn't speak or understand english
oye

coming to you LIVE from the studio FLOOR
no shit..... i am practically ( and for all intents and purposes)
on the floor
as my chair broke~!
and the piston that kept it up high enough is now gone
so i am about on the floor!

where did my week go?
well.......ok monday bernie was late getting in
tuesday due to weather he didn't get home at all ( none of us slept, not me.....not him, not the cats, not the chickens)
he got home wensday, and had to bring wood in for a few days, as due to the storm TUESDAY i couldn't get the wood up to the studio
when we all finally got to sleep the la perms slept ON HIM and i held his arm all night,..... i don't think anyone realized it until morning....
oye
last night he was late as his fleet had a unit to be cleaned
i don't know yet about today
happy valentines day to you all.....a bit late i know
i spent yesterday catching up on dishes and chipping ice out of the duck pen, trying to get the flooding in the basement under some sort of control
etc.....
holding down the fort so to speak
in KNITTING NEWS!!!
i started a KAL at KR and ravelry
for a shawl called Moroccan days/Arabian Nights designed by Susan Pandof and commissioned by Kim of Woolen Rabbit
i have never done an actual kal before so this is going to be interesting
i like this pattern, it is lace, but it is a very textured lace with beading etc
so i find this interesting
i plan on doing one in the honey color, and i am thinking i may do a second one in spicey reds....
i am even going to buy the yarn it's shown in!!!!!
i really like this pattern.
as you folks may realize, i do try to help designers along, if i like their work.
i made how many ice queens? ( she is another very talented designer)
there are a few others that i have gotten their patterns but haven't had a chance to do them yet.....
of course as i do i will tell you all
i don't mean to slight anyone
so if i have some of your patterns and i haven't said anything, it is because they are in line and i probably haven't found the yarn i want to do them in yet
now as to this week......i am very glad it's over
i hope next week is better

happy anniversary noogums
today is our anniversary.....31 year
YEARS!!!!!
and he still can make me laugh
he still makes my toes curl
and while i am still super annoyed about the no canning/no kitchen countertops thing
i still love him dearly with my whole heart, and soul and toenails....
although there are times.....
anyone who's been married for a long period of time to the same person will tell you....
there are good things, bad things and things you don't bother to fight about anymore....
there is something to be said for being with one person forever.....
they are family...
sometimes more so then blood relatives.......
or maybe most often?
and while you do get mad
if you still enjoy each others company like bernie and i do
you are way ahead of the game.
he woke me up this morning, at 4:30 am ( yup we get up early)
and remembered to wish me a happy anniversary.....
me..... i was still half in a dream state.....
i just called him to make sure he'd gotten to work ok.....
yup just pulled in
we were to have gone out to eat yesterday but since he was out sick that week, we stayed home.
we shared the cooking, with a roasted chicken, my homemade mushroom gravy, mashed yukon gold potatoes and green beans from last years garden
my homemade and home canned applesauce for dessert
i am pretty sure he'd marry me again in a heart beat
til next time
happy anniversary bernie, i love you

it's snowing!!!!
naturally!
as i am trying to organize my garden plan, and make sure i have the seeds i need
i put in a small seed order to heirloom acres seeds, some colored tomatoes, and a few odds and ends that i don't have.
i still need to get the seeds for the 'old ivory egg' white tomato
and more eggplant seeds
the one last thing i would like is three blueberrie bushes
i think they will be good in barrels though....
when i was out to feed and water the ducks, i was still sort of mentally going over the garden.
even though i have it on paper, there is nothing like being OUT THERE
we have to cut back some of the apple tree that overhangs one edge.....i wish we could USE those apples....
anyway....
anyone ELSE doing their seed starting?
i have to get the pepper seeds into the starter, they take the longest to germinate
OHOHOH
the hens are on vacation....
yup since they aren't laying anyway much, we have cut their light hours back to give them a good rest, and hopefully they will be over the molt soon
no more then 12 hours a day of light.....preferably 10
even so ....we are getting three more pullets
i will give georgie up the hill some of the extra, and our attorney who also loves our eggs
til next time
vi
oh what do you all think of the names....
clotilde
yvette
clorisa
for the new hens?
any one got some suggestions?

tis the season la la la
it's time to start garden seeds....some folk already have
and
i will admit
i am a bit behind due to being sick and all
this year.....
i will be editing what i plant
my intentions are
not to over plant by 200 the tomatoes i need ( 20 of them should do it)
and only about 30 peppers.....not 100
i would however like more diversity in the garden.....
more to can at the end
this year i plan on canning sweet red pepper sauce, peppers and onions with various meats as well as plain.
i want to make sure that we have a good stock on hand of canned beans, potatoes etc
so the garden this year is MOSTLY going to be geared to canning.....
the deck garden will be our fresh eatting garden.....the main... for winter storage
and THIS YEAR
the brussel sprouts will rule!!!!!!
now when we move i intend on a hoop house to be able to move around the garden, extending a season here..... getting a jump on a season there
housing poultry over the winter....
here with the neighbors, i can't risk it
i would have mark come and clear where all the neighbor's dumping was......
level it out and put a hoophouse.....
but those kids would have the covering in shreds in about a day
i watched them breaking their own fence!
i can probably do a couple of cold frames and a very SMALL hoop house
sheilded by the main garden.....
anyway.....tis the season
so i am sitting here with long lists of varieties of seeds i have saved....
and trying to figure what to start and where it's going when it's ready for the garden.....
and yOU?

i cleaned the woodstove today
took me 4 HOURS to recover......
huh?
i normally clean the woodstove, then make the coffee, feed the cats, stoke the stove,
turn on the computer, stack the dishwasher.....all in like 40 minutes in the morning
i had to REST from cleaning the stove!!!!!
i had to rest from takeing a shower.....
going to the po....ditto
as watering the ducks is.....
this flu still is knocking me for a loop
so....til next time

i can't sleep
i spend the day ill again, this flu thing is pretty bad
i WAS better then went out to feed the ducks......
i ended up shaking, in a cold sweat, nauseus, dizzy, and very very weak!
just from carrying a bucket of water out to the ducks
huh?
i do that daily!
anyway, i went to bed normal time and couldn't sleep.
Thaddeaus couldn't either and kept getting on the bedside table, knocking a book off.....
and jumping off
now i got a LOT of books on my bedside table.... he was aiming to knock all them off.
bernie got upset so i dragged thaddeaus under the covers.....which is where he wanted to be anyway
but i still couldn't sleep so here i am
i was thinking about a ton of things
this upcoming election, which i intend on voting in..... now this will be my first time voting EVER, i never knew enough about it before, but after last election, i was so shocked at what i thought the smarter then me people in america did.....i swore i was going to vote in this election..... i just never knew enough before......but my friend pieheart explained it to me enough for me to really start to understand. i am smart about a LOT of things.....but politics doesn't make much sense to me.....
my chickens who aren't laying- i spoke to the folks i got them from, and they feel that the ladies are taking a break. And with the return of warm weather and longer days they will resume. i still ordered three new pullets.....yup buff orpingtons.....we are going to have chickie booms again. AND, we are going to change the ladies schedule... only 8 hours of light a day for a week or so then increase it gradually
how on EARTH we are going to move in this really tough housing market.... this is a biggie, as we need to get the sheep and goat home...... it was only for two years they were to be boarded..... i didn't figure this bad a market...... plus there are a number of things i want to get started, the orchard, greenhouse, tilapia experiment, passive solar, worm farming for castings for the garden, maybe even some more alternative energy and also more heritage breeds and veggies
trying to figure a way to be able to retire in 15 years.... another biggie, we don't have nearly enough savings, another reason i want the farm so bad, i figure it is a win win all the way around, we feed ourselves and sell our surplus, the money saved goes into retirement along with our regularly budgeted retirement savings
worried about finding a closer place for my sheep and goat so i can see them......if we can't move this year.....it was only supposed to be 2 years.....violet is two now....
wondering how long this flu from hell is going to get me.......it really has me phsycially weak i can't take much more of this, i am not used to not being able to do my chores
trying to figure what we are out of in our little storage system....... that long term food storage etc system i started two years ago has stood us in very good stead, for the most part, we have almost everything we need in emergency. This bout of flu was even semi planned for, but i didn't have enough theraflu....however i did have some.... so bernie sick as he was did NOT have to go out with his abcessed tooth to get more to break my really high fever
wondering how to get the dead tree out front taken down without going broke or having it fall on the house.... it's gettin worse, i looked at it today, but boy the wildlife LOVES it....that is why i haven't actually been in a huge rush to get it down..... i know they could use the help but it's starting to get dangerous now i think..... so even if we top if off at ten feet......they get the benefit...... we don't worry
oh yeah....i do worry RIGHT
no wonder i can't sleep
i didn't want to disturb bernie ( although neither of us sleep well without the other one there.....we better die together or no one will get any rest in peace)
so i figured i would come down.... stoke up the fire again
maybe knit a bit
write some of these worries down.....maybe i can figure a solution to some of them
see if any of my friends around the world are up..... isn't it daylight yet in england?
or how about australia?
or maybe just sit by the fire and see if i can get tired enough to sleep
til next time

a certain fascination
i have to admit a deep dark secret.....
i have a certain fascination with contained small creatures
fish, small birds and rodents, even small bugs (ant farms, and worm abodes)
but especially goldfish
i don't know why
lately catherine has been posting some pictures of her garden pond with her goldfish
and naturally i am enthralled
i don't know what it is
the sparkling scales seen through that clear clear water?
.....the life? at once so at home and yet so alien?
living in an enviroment that would kill US in a fraction of a breath?
i remember as a kid going down to the creek out back ( at my aunt's house.....did anyone else do things like this?)
it was a very fast moving but shallow creek
the deepest was maybe 6 to 8 inches
but it was CLEAR
and watching minnows in the current,
hunting snails and newts and frogs
just for the pleasure of SEEING THEM
i remember watching algae clinging to the rocks
and my mom yelling for me not to get wet
yeah right
with all that life going on
how could i not plunge into it
picking up pebbles that shone like precious jewels under the water
or an empty pond snail shell
or even a bowl of pond water with a live snail in it
which naturally i was made to put back
reluctantly
i suppose i am not alone in my fascination right?
a lot of folks have ponds and keep fish in tanks
for me it's always been a mystical magical amazement to see
colorful creatures at home in the water

almost back to the land of the living
and i learned a lot while i was so very sick
let my pain be a lesson to you
never drink a gallon of apple juice across 4 days......what goes in must come out
and when it does come out.........well......lets just say 'you are no longer full of shit'
never underestimate the weight of goosedown.....it weights 48 million tons per square inch
and it WILL trap you.....
as will blue eyed kittens...
who instantly weigh 97 pounds on each leg
dry toast can be a blessing
so can clean toilet bowls
there should be a law in marriages
if one person is deathly sick....the other MUST not get sick at all
sadly i broke that rule and bernie had to take care of me
i tend to halucinate nekid chickens dancing in a chorus line when my fever gets too high.....
this is an improvement of the plucked turkeys i halucinated when my temp got to 104 after bernie and i first were married
cold compresses are only a shock for a few seconds.....they are exceptionally good on your eyes
theraflu is your friend
logs for the woodstove must be made of lead
i don't know how those leaden logs burn
if you hold your arms up when you are really sick.....you fall over
(don't hang the laundry......it will bite you in the ass)
remember that apple juice thing....or you will regret NOT remembering it over and over and over
red noses are not the glamour statement you would think after hearing that stupid rudolph song
when you're really sick...... room temp water....
it's the BEST THING
vintage 20 seconds ago.....seriously
but it also weighs a ton.....must be really hard water
maybe i need a 'sippy' cup?
puffs tissues with the lotion.......pay extra
and the last thing
an entire week of your life can and WILL just slip by
you won't know
you won't CARE
and you won't even KNIT
til next time if i survive
vi
ps bernie is much much better
