dear mother nature

can we talk about balance

i know you pretty much know what you're doing........
and that left to your own devices you will get it all straightened out

however
there is a small problem i am having that you can help a bit

could you PLEASE share some of this rain with that part of texas that is in the really bad drought?

i got clothes on the line that get almost dry.........and then rains come

i am sooooo trying to be as 'green' as possible
but i didn't expect that to mean mold and moss growing on my dainties.......

or on bernie's tee shirts
please

we've had it up to HERE
and it's moldy

your friend

well it rained again sunday
and so on and so forth
we went to get tomatoes, as our garden never happened due to my throwing my back out in the spring
something bit bernie on the neck
BAD
HUGE welts
i made him take benedryl it was so bad
my laundry which i forgot over saturday night on the line, and which was DRY saturday
is now drenched again and dripping

we couldn't do any more on the pens, but bernie did clean the chickens inside pens
and the ducks inside crates
while i packed meats for the freezer

i got a decent deal on chopmeat and on chicken
and it's safely squirreled away now
i still need to can 80 pounds of chicken breast, which i am waiting for a good sale to pick up

no wood yet delivered for winter
i am hoping that august dries up and we can take delivery of at least 4 cords
the more it rains......the more cords i think i am going to need as the old stuff is just rotting i think

i started knitting for fall
first up
booty socks for me
i have to do a plum and black hat/mittens/scarf set for me next
to match my new last winter, winter coat
then a scarf for colleen
then the endless round of mittens and socks for winter
i need to get some lopi for the mittens
that stuff wears like iron
i want a nice rose color and some purple and a charcoal gray
for some odd reason i need a number of pairs of mittens for over the winter

and probably a few more color knit hats as well

i should most likely knit sweaters again
with the current size of my little round body, a simple sweater will take me all winter
oye
and use pounds of yarn

i actually may knit me a bulky pull over if i can find a sturdy blend that includes mohair
that will be really warm when i do ducks during the BAD weather of jan/feb

now today
let's see
if the rains stop
i got laundry to finish, and molds to continue to clean
and two more blinds from upstairs to wash ( the bathroom blind will finally get a totally though cleaning.......not the 'best i can do' one it has been getting)

oh i found something totally cool

fix a windshield .....it's a crack and chip repair system for glass
i have a china closet that needs a glass fixed
i can't just replace it as you see it's a very large peice of half round hand blown glass
from a victorian half round china closet
so i figured
if i can just glue the crack to stabilize it
i can paint the cabinet and boom..........new doll cabinet for my finished peices!

now before you all freak out
mom had dad stain this gorgeous golden oak half round.......... BLACK
ewwwww
sorry
but ewwwwww
i thought they were nuts then
and i am still certain of them being nuts now

so paint it is
cream paint to be exact

and it will hold my work
we'll move it from where it is now
and put it somewhere that is 'display area'

how about that


as to the base/legs of the new work table
thanks to everyone that answered
i am thinking of paint as well now
i am thinking of using blue tape and doing the two color paint job
so it would be either black and white
or
magenta and lemon?

maybe the black and white would be a better idea.........as it would go with more stuff
and i wouldn't have to repaint too often huh?
