i swear i have nothing to write about! let's see if that stops me at all?

i boiled a dozen pullet eggs last night, for egg salad. bernie peeled and mashed them while i took my shower. we had enough egg salad for a sandwitch for me, and two for him plus a bit left over. i am so glad that the pullet eggs are getting bigger, as normally 6 of my chicken eggs will give us that plus lunches

to continue on with the chicken theme, i tried to see if dulcette and colette would get on....... nope they fought.......so i am going to have to figure this out again......
oye
meanwhile poor dulcette is by herself and i think a bit lonely.....she's never been away from her sister and now her sister henrietta wants to kill her
meanwhile the pullets are giving me 4 eggs a day...thank goodness, as i was really needing eggs
i got confirmation that the ducklings are being set for me.........so they will be coming soon, now i don't know if their eggs are just starting to set or they are setting X amount of eggs a day so then out of the X amount .....six have my name on them.......?
but either way i hope for 5 ducks and a drake.
that is perfect for what i need
i am so sorry that i gave away two ducks from lilli and phoebe's nest....the people didn't take care of them , and one supposedly flew away (i asked if they wanted me to come up and clip one wing) and the other died supposedly the next day...meanwhile when i asked the wife how they were she told me 'fine'
so now i'll never trust her or them again

in budgie news.... we are slated to move them closer together, we were to have done that over the weekend and did NOT.
bernie continues to be home after 9 so nothing is really getting done....... sorta.... if he would get home at a more normal time .......even 7pm, we could get 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there.....it would all add up you know

now today i know, i SHOULD go and get the shower curtains for the bathroom, and one or two other little things i need for colleen........(we also have mold on the bathroom ceiling and i really need to scrape, sand and prime that with mildew resistant stuff)

i been trying to take extra vitamin d lately..... i am hoping that will give me a bit more energy. i always test way too low on vitamin d..... and since it's not actually a vitamin but a pre-hormone, i figured i better at least try and help it out a bit
my legs are hurting lately too..... bad.
i am actually hobbling around!
this getting old thing sucks i think....... so does the messed up insurance without diagnostics
huh?
so i can go to the doctor but can't get any of my tests done or the RX filled on the outcome of those tests...... cause i can't afford diagnostics!

and we'll take a sharp left into the garden ok?  i now have 18 pole beans up, i am hoping that the rest come up shortly. Stortino di Trento.(curved from Trent) Pole anellino is the one that is slower to be sprouting. even the climbing zucchini is up and started well...(i'll grow that on the fence)
i also put some wire fence sections in the cucumber bed, 'hinged' at the top with zip ties for a half ass trellis, but i think it will work... it's been a bit cooler so the garden is sort of suspended in slow motion right now. after the rain the other night however a had massive sprouting of the beans so maybe it's just i haven't seen some of the stuff break ground yet?
oh and i am feeding slugs to ducks and chickens....... yeah for ducks and chickens
here's hoping for a good harvest this year......
and here is me trying to figure out the absolute minimum i need in sweet red peppers to do the canning for the winter....i am thinking at least 80 of them, 40 just to make the roasted sweet red pepper sauce.
oye
i better start trying to either find a good deal on them or start buying two or three a week at horrible prices.... even though i got pepper plants in........i am thinking they won't do much this year.. NEXT year i am going to do an entire bed of nothing but peppers.....(and maybe also that 56 foot wall with peppers)
i use peppers for drying, and canning in that roasted sweet pepper sauce, fresh eatting, and stuffing......plus the tapenade (with eggplant)

you know....... the more i think about it....the more i realize that if we put a bed in down that section of privacy fence.... two feet wide.. i most likely CAN get enough peppers next year IF there is enough sun there)... and as we rotate crops that can give me enough room for broccoli for the freezer OR green beans or whatever....... IF there is enough sunlight there.......hmmmmm
there are a few trees grew up there...... a couple sumac and a couple of maples... we can cut most of them down........ one has my clothes line on it but we could always put up a pole or just top that tree off a few feet above my clothes line...
fence the rest in against the ground hog and chickens........... hmmmm

ok well as visions of gardening dance in my head.....i will leave you all to your thoughts this friday
me, i have to start my day.....i should go to the PO and then to town....
but i most likely won't..instead i may just put the birds out and then do the kitchen or something

wow for someone with nothing to say, i sure took a long time with it
