it's ALIVE........... ok well semi

thyroid meds when taken are a very good thing.
so is sunshine at the moment
i am going to go clean duck pens
and then dishes then draw and supper too
last night was corned beef, butter braised cabbage and potatoes, bernie got home at like 8 or 9 and then ate
he's a happy boy.
thaddeaus is feeling better too...another happy boy
i blocked out some ducks for a new drawing......
and it's ok again around here
it's also getting warmer so i planted spinach and chard in the window box out on the deck
today if i get a chance, i'll plant a box of lettuce, and maybe some beets, and more chard.... then the big barrels will get snow peas, and some peppers i think
i want eggplant up on the deck this year as well
in the main garden i want beans, squash and cucumbers.... a lot of each with a couple of tomatoes and a few extra peppers
i need a good harvest this year.
also this year i need to replenish the dried vadalia onion stash. 50 pounds sliced and dried winds up in 8 quart jars.
i got 10# of carrots to do as well, i love having them dried. they take up a lot less room and are ready to go into any thing i can think of during the winter (zuchinni and eggplant, peppers and tomato, cabbage and celery all dried and put in jars- last night we used my dried potatoes in the corned beef)

meanwhile the budgies tried to take a bath with their tiny water bottle so i gave them a bath tub......but they are ignoring the tub
figures
oh and it's to be like 60 today so no woodstove, that figures too as i got some loose bark in for kindling

now i best get going as i have laundry to hang and ducks to take care of so will you folks check in so i know you are all out there? i don't know...you all could have gone to spain or the moon or something
