no chickens will go out

it's already over 90 on the deck so no chickens go out
ducks go out with a pond each (not that i was in any hurry to put them out as that bitch lilli has been holding the eggs AND laying OUTSIDE where i can't get to them... all this AND she tells me i am porcine)
i watered the cucumber seeds and now i am handwashing all my summer tops and then will do more winter knits, woolens as well as winter flannels
i found a lot of canned chicken in the basement......bernie said there wasn't any but there is
soooooooooooooo chicken salad sandwiches and maybe deviled eggies
(tiny deviled eggies as all we got is pullet eggies)

i gave the chickens a scant armful of assorted weeds
then i came up and put the AC on
momma duck is in with her nest of eggies
falstaff is in the temporary pen...... phoebe and lilli are in the big pen in the garden
everyone has ponds filled with cold water..... at about 2pm or so i will refill them with more cold water

i have 4 tops out on the line right now that i already handwashed; one soaking ready to get rinsed, with i think 6 more to go... all of them summer tops
then i start on the cold weather stuff... some i can machine wash if i only can find my net bags that i put that stuff in. (i put them all together in a safe place you see......so i can't find them now....someone please remind me to make a small wall hung cabinet that will hold them, my iron, my handwashing soap, and maybe my sweater dryer thingies-it's actually a doable thing)

i got up late this morning...after 7. my chicken friend teri who sold me the 4 new pullets called shortly after
her pullets ( the sisters to mine) started to lay
then i called louie at the post office to tell him i put his thing together that i promised him about the online eyeglasses

i am still working the plan for cleaning etc in preparation for my sister in law to come... EVEN THOUGH, ......................................         i lost the list

yes i am hanging my head in shame now...... hmmm

i am trying
yesterday i figured more foods, drinks, snacks.
i planted summer lettuces that will hopefully be ready for when she's here.
i am going to need a few days cooking to get these done, not to mention a BIG shopping
depending on what day she actually arrives, i may plan a sort of cooking day  for after she gets here, as she loves to cook also.
we can sit and laugh while we are doing it.
i sent her the dates bernie's got management classes. so she knows not to book a flight.......cause if it's that day...she'll sit until the next day in the airport, i don't drive to the big cities

another thing on the list: new sheets, new towels, 4 new pillows (she's allergic to cats so new pillows for her) new bathtub mat, new shower curtains... i do this every time she comes
this year i am thinking of getting one of those big glass jug thingies with the spiggots in them
to bring out on the deck or even keep in the kitchen for tea for bernie. maybe i should think of the plastic ones? i found a three gallon plastic one that is easy to clean....19.00. that may be worth it for bernie

he makes ice tea for himself, putting it in a cranberry juice bottle, which i found to be a nightmare to clean
so this may be a better idea
ok
i have to do the last of the tops i got down here now
you all have a good day

OHHHHH i also have to clean the dehydrator .....tis the season huh?
