you know..it's pretty cold out

i just cranked the stove up again
i am thinking of bringing in a mat for by the back door
and also we are going to have to move the cat tree as i think it's blocking heat to the main house
(and there is still a screen in the window in the front room.....WHAT? last week it was 60 out!)

today we are going out to pick up some chickens for jen and scott........
we're taking my crates and i think georgette's crates
we should have enough for 8 pullets and a roo .......i hope

bernie uncovered my van and brought some wood in
i have to run to the po and then to town after we get back with the chickens
i will be doing the mass baking then
(and picking up more flour as i ran out...i don't know how that happened but i ran out)
when i am done with the baking ( wish me luck that i am done by sunday)
i have some stuff such as mustards etc to make
cranberry sauce, cranberry mustard...hmmmmmm
tropical fruit jam if i have the time

in yarn and knitting, i gotta tell you all
every single pair of my hand knit socks is got a hole in it somewheres.......
not from wear
not from moths
FROM THE BOY

the little shit has chewed on every single sock, mitten, hat, scarf that i have knit
he steals them and hides them and eats them
why ???
we don't know
as he doesn't touch yarn or fiber or felted knits
he mostly likes my socks and mittens
and today i have two different hand knit socks on
cause it's that cold out
and these were the best of something like 25 pairs

oh man
