burning the garbage

what would you expect from the bad neighbors?
illegally
in a chimeria
it was so bad i got sick and had to close all the doors
my poor ducks were out in it
i hope that it didn't bother them too much

and that they were low enough to the ground

what's worse is that the 10 (more or less) year old kid was doing it
the uphill neighbors called the police
the police naturally didn't come

meanwhile i worked in the house

now i am sort of thinking of breading and freezing zucchini slices ( i soooooo wish it was eggplant but i got zucchini from a neighbor)
what do you guys think

and i am very tired again, btw, exhausted even right now after a more or less nights sleep
i could go up again
and i would if it wasn't for the fact that i am behind on the studio and winter is breathing down my neck

now today's work:

the boxes in front of the porcelain workbench
the sets of drawers moved over
repot the rosemarys, pathos, spider plant, last scented geranium, and the lemon grass
those zucchinis
the ducks (i don't think night crates really need cleaning right now)
something good for supper.......?
order mouse bait, and vacuum sealer bags

i do unfortunately have to go to town this week on errands, but i think i will be going with the cousins and have icecream.
town errands include :

health food store for the stuff to make cat food
bank
pharmacy for my meds
woodstove dealer for gaskets and paint

and i am sure i will find other things to maybe get done so we just work on the pens and the woodstove over the weekend

i am also trying to wash all the hand washables i needed to get done, plus i need a new iron
oye

i am still hoping for ideas for our rhinebeck picnic
i am leaning towards chicken and dumpllins
(put 'order stewing chickens' on the list)
