the light has FINALLY dawned

damn that took forever.......
i realized i need a few multicolored hats! like in rainbow colors
i am thinking.....color knitting with noro........
oh man..... what took me so long to figure it out?

now yesterday, i got 10 nice angus roasts for the 1.49 pound, they ranged in size from 5# down to 2.75#, i cut steaks and grilling cubes (or chunks, as they are pretty large)
i also picked up milk and made more yogurt while i was cutting up the meat
i would like a bit more angus since it's so cheap, and i would like also to get some mushrooms to dry as they are about 2.00 a pound, which is a dollar cheaper then normal.

i bathed the ducks the other day, but phoebe still needs more.....lilli looks good still
and i am thrilled to have gotten the crates done
momma stood for her wing clip....she actually let me do it without fighting me at all
she'll be here a year soon, and it's amazing how tame she became from totally wild
too bad i can't get to handle falstaff like i can momma
falstaff is limping on and off.....i think he's got arthritis, as he is pretty old for a drake. i think he's 7 now.

now with the fence partly up, i am going to add some cold frames there and expand the duck runs and pens...so maybe i will have space for a second drake? in that case i need a total out cross drake. but either way i need to set momma duck up in a secure predator proof area this year for babies, which should be nice and healthy even with falsaff as the sire.
anyway i am hoping for decent babies, and i am hoping he isn't too old to produce healthy offspring

i am planning out the garden, i realized i need to put the grow lights in the basement, as it's cold down there and i want the plants to grow slow and stocky.......so that is a good light and grow them cold situation....
i'll keep peppers and eggplants up here though.... maybe that will help them
any one got any thoughts?

ok more wood on the fire and i am going to go up and lay down for a bit more
