my 1300 post!!!!

wow i feel like i should celebrate or something.....1300 is such a round number

it's raining again, which considering how many seeds i put out in the garden, this is a very good thing.....and it's a 'make the gardener happy' rain... which is not going to drown or displace those seeds but wet them down well, wake them up and nurture them while they sprout...
and they ARE sprouting......
unfortunately so are the weeds, so i am weeding like crazy.
the ducks are hunting worms, which also are 'sprouting' like crazy, you can not plunge a shovel out there without turning up literally thousands of baby wormies. the dirt is alive and moving!
now my leek starts arrived so they will be going out too......i didn't start my own this year, as i have like NO freeken space (bernie took my seed starting light arrangement thing apart) so i only started the BARE minimum
some peppers and eggplants
i'll be starting tomatoes and such this week......they don't take any time at all to get huge
i so need a greenhouse and more raised beds in the garden, as well as a cold frame
oh and a tree cut back, and the garden extended
i may have to call someone to help cut the tree back as that thing is HUGE.........it's got to be like 200 years old too...... i just need it limbed back a bit

***note to Kyrsyan: we did & we didn't measure the kitchen, the kitchen people said they were going to for accuracy. and home depot as well as lowes told us (although that was a while ago) that it would cost us 50. for a kitchen plan. we started to measure ourselves (ok MYSELF) as the kitchen people didn't measure where the window is or anything like that
i was so disgusted when i saw that plan......it just sort of replaced what we had included that HATED lazy susan....WHICH i told her i HATED and was planning on BURNING........ there was so much wasted space in that plan i was sent that i wonder what drug they were on while they were here......well they were here only 18 minutes and ten was spent with the ducks outside.....i guess they weren't interested unless it was a 50K kitchen overhaul----oye

let's see what else, bernie got home really really early yesterday, around 5! (which means he worked a nine hour day instead of his usual 15 hour day) he surprised me while i was bringing in the ducks, i had just gotten lilli and phoebe into the house....no easy feat with all them juicy wormies around. i was walking back to the pens to get water buckets and food pans when he said something to me (he was behind me) and i jumped a MILE!!!
i am so used to being alone with my thoughts while going back for pails and pans that the last thing i expected was a voice!
he got rewarded however with an exceptional supper
i made homemade teriyake sauce and marinated pork chops in it.... so we had a sort of stir fry but not really kinda- mushrooms, sweet peppers, onions, broccoli........ with the pork chops..... as i was too lazy to cube the meat up...... over rice
it was out of this world......bernie's comment?
'i didn't get enough vegetables'
huh?
hahahahahahahaha
then he watched legends of the guardians
and we went up early

now today i have to do the leek sets
more dishes ( where did they all come from? i didn't use that many last night for supper)
and i want to do something fun....
those stitch markers were a lot of fun to make,  and i so wish i could show you all a picture of them. i didn't take any though
i found out that i really enjoy making them, it's a fun and fast thing to do when i am not actually knitting at night

in the desktop update, i got a bit further with the diagnostics, having found some memory tests to run
i have to put in another order with newegg or tiger soon so when i do i will get the parts i need plus another hard drive
i am so hoping that it's just memory
i am beginning to be hopeful that it maybe a simple thing
now the bad news is since the desk top is 32 bit, i can't upgrade the ram memory past 4gb
which is what i have in there now
so i will be looking at a new desk top in like a year anyway
but i'll have bought me some time i suppose

now, the last bit of yesterday was that one of my 5000 year old chickens not only laid another egg but then ate it
and i think it was henrietta
now the rule here is......egg eaters die.
it's a simple rule
but it's henrietta, who is 5000 years old....nasty to the other chickens, and thinks she is a rooster.
she is also one of my original chickens from keeping chickens as an adult
and if i off her, dulcette her sister will be upset too- i wish she would just stop laying
i don't need the 5000 year old chickens laying
i got the young ones and that's ok
oh man........i hate dilemmas in the morning

onto coffee now
have a good day everyone!!!
