late blight comes to the east coast

and is affecting tomatoes and potatoes

and apparently FEET

oye
i coulda told them that


meanwhile today is fourth of july
happy birthday america
happy birthday to us all

today we are going to muck chicken pens
and bbq
and walk ducks

and feed cats
and run some errands
oye

to the studio news
i am decoupaging that big box for paper and illustration board in the studio
i am about done
i got bored and added some random peices of orange and purple tissue paper and a silk maple leaf
i just got the front and most of the sides done and i have to finish the back now
then wax it nice, seal it an put the velcro closure dots and a handle or something
this will help me a LOT in the studio
it won't solve all my problems in there but it will solve another biggie on my list

i got fiber and yarn storage issues too
and where do i put my swift and ball winder?


we just learned ( once we got the bag FINISHED) that our cat food had been recalled
so we're looking around for other options
i want to feed them raw
bernie isn't too happy with that idea
i had gotten them evo but bernie wasn't thrilled with it
however i am going to get them moved over to the evo
and i think a raw food diet with the suppliments
enough of the recalls on cat food
i don't trust these companies anymore
maybe i should just squish a few mice for them?

i think amber lived as long as she did because she would kill and eat mice
too bad my laperms won't
i wouldn't have to worry about mouse traps
even the CHICKENS will eat a mouse if they can catch one

ok now i have to get dressed
my sun screen is dried
so am i from my morning shower
it's time to get going for the day
have a wonderful fourth everyone

vi
