first off........DO NOT try and hike rhinebeck in clogs
do not do it
or if you want to attempt it.......... do yourself a favor and cut your legs off at the hips NOW and avoid the rush.
do not attempt to feed the chickens tomato slices..... make them eat chunks....
DO knit brightly colored hats and keep them by every door, in every coat pocket.....
and also keep at least two in each vehicle at all times
when you are almost 50 facial hair happens.............
suck up and deal with it.. you really THINK I like having my hair migrate south?
homemade chicken soup is a very good thing... make sure you use a STEWING CHICKEN and eat it at least twice a month during the winter
children and cats will make you old fast...................
so will bad men
the way to keep a good man good is keep him thinking you are the most brilliant, intelligent etc since einstein.. and do NOT allow him to get new eyeglasses regularly........
and if you must let him get new eyeglasses...........pay the dog to smudge the lenses daily.............
( and watch that dog for extortion, give her just ONE carrot........no matter what she says.....she lies I tell you)
the second you have resigned yourself to wearing a 2X shirt................
you WILL lose weight............
when you break down and get a large.... you will gain it all back with interest..................
but at least you won't have wrinkles huh?????
if you heat with wood, you will get bugs in the house........... do not let the cats play with the wasps or the spiders......
if you ask for a new kitchen........DEMAND the counters to go with it........
don't fall for that ' maybe' crap................ get it all in writing with witnesses.......... signed in BLOOD
and make him put up a bond or something.
make cheddar cheese sauce for steamed cauliflower... never mind how I know this............... just do it
drink at least two cups of coffee every day........... tell folks it is to prevent colon cancer.........
being wired is a good thing...............
and do not eat chocolate.... do not believe the hype from the candy companies......
coffee is much better then chocolate could ever be
til next time or when I figure more

transylvanian garlic, & sheep manure
you know...... the GOOD things in life
ok we planted garlic....
transylvanian, silverskin and a red garlic
I got a plot of garlic that is about 5 feet long by about 3 feet wide...
hopefully garlic likes sheep shit cause THAT is what it is planted in.....
worms BIGGER then my FINGERS....
fisherfolks eat your heart out.
we took the dead plants out of the garden.... mulched a bit
brought in firewood
bernie took hoses out etc
I helped for a while until moron neighbor was outside screaming at those poor little boys.....
I don't know which kid he was yelling at but one of the boys was crying.....
since the oldest just turned 9.......
they are not big boys at all
he was yelling at the boy for crying.
he was yelling so loud that EVERYONE could hear him if they were outside
that idiot makes me sick.
ok on to better things
I made carole's sloppy joes last night
I even bought worchestershire sauce AND hot sauce to make them.. that is how GOOD it is.
we had them last night on multigrain rolls and today we also will have them..........
ok in other news, I am plotting to get me a green house......
nothing too big mind......but maybe a way to grow some lettuce etc over the winter.
since all the e-coli scares with the fresh produce.......
it's better if we grow our own no?
I got brussels sprouts I am babying out on the deck right now....
I want to rig a cold frame for them so they will actually GROW
btw, the one seed i planted in a barrel of manure is 6 times the size of the ones I planted in regular garden soil......
so the moral is boys and girls.. have the sheep shit in your garden..........
or...........
no matter how deep the doo doo....... it is fodder for SOMETHING no?
hahahahahahaa
ok
meanwhile now........
I am off to the kitchen I also have a bushel of apples to sauce today...
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
cinnamon spiced applesauce anyone?
vi

I found the studio floor! AND fawn caught a mouse!
ok I came back to interupt this post with a news flash.....
Fawn caught her very first mouse........!
she killed it as well......and did NOT growl at me when I took it away from her.....( unlike her grand children who sound like a bunch of pitbulls when we try to take the living mice from them)
pretty good for a cat that spent her first 5 years in a cage huh?
with no momma cat to show her how to hunt!
I am so proud of her.......
she got a BIG bunch of catnip
ok now on to the regular blog post
amazing huh?
on saturday, ( today's monday)
we reorganized the studio
ha
now the studio is a big open room of 18X23
we sort of made 4 little 'ells' with storage units to have seperate areas for my workbenchs ( I get two ells)
bernie's workbench and models
and my computer/office area
there is a big open center area now for the wood stove to heat through the house.
we didn't even fight much
!!!!
sunday was corn maze, and back to carole's
my little violet the goatie is HUGE now
she is going to be bigger then her momma rosie........
and they sold rosie........sniff... not to me...... but to Shawn and Tara........ which is ok as if there is anyone else I would want rosie to live with it's them
they are a nice family.
they will be good to rosie
I will miss rosie and need to get visitation rights
ok
anyway........ til next time

ANNIVERSARY'S some need to be forgotten
ok yup yup I admit it
I got counter top envy.....( considering I don't have ANY countertops yet..... well....... you can all understand why right?)
let me tell you a story......
once upon a time, a wonderful ( and TALL, SKINNY, HEY it's MY story...I can be tall and skinny) person with a woefully inadequate kitchen.... was trying to make soap while also cooking dinner...
She fell over a box and a chair that were serving as a temporary cupboard as her's were falling off the walls.....
and she spoketh thusly....... ( that is a good one ......watch now)
'WHY do I have to have the worlds WORST kitchen...( seriously I have british friends that tell me they come from the land of horrific kitchens and mine gave THEM nightmares)
WHEN I am the one that is ALWAYS in the kitchen, as I cook from scratch, freeze ( now can) dry food..... I make soap, I bake, I dye fiber and fabrics.....I FELT......... I am ALWAYS in this kitchen....
ALL my friends have decent to grand kitchens..... (***note all the friends with the 50K kitchens normally all just eat takeout.... but I digress)
WHY shouldn't I have a wonderful kitchen...... a beautiful white cottage kitchen????? arranged in a better design..'
well apparently SOMEONE was listening as that night bernie came home and asked if I would like a white kitchen............
duh.......?
how long now I been talking about a white cottage kitchen....???????????????
well that very next saturday one was carried into my living room
( now the more astute among you will realize what is wrong with that sentence... and if you don't..... well that is because you probably wouldn't imagine someone as dumb as I apparently am)
where it sat........
and sat
and time past-eded
and past-eded
years in fact
''Bern, when you going to INSTALL that kitchen?????'
see our little heroine was really getting sick of falling over kitchen cabinets in the living room......
finally bern couldn't stand the nagging anymore and one weekend.... emptied the old kitchen and pull all the cabinets out....
with time some new cabinets actually made it into the new kitchen...and the peasants rejoiced....
after a few more years....( in which our heroine almost grew a beard....but couldn't sleep long enough)
st carole of the goatie dairy came over and ripped the kitchen out and rearranged it into a more pleasing whole.....
( that would be a year today actually)
now the little kitchen's path was clear....... the bones were there.... occationally bernie would do one or two more little things to give our very hopeful little person a glimpse of the glory that would be this kitchen if it EVER gets done.....
a hood was put up AND Wired..... let there be light!
outlets.... 2 out of the three work!!!
amazing.....
but still not countertops....
and the moral of this story is......
WHEN you ask for something from the universe............ first trust that someone WILL hear you....
and don't forget to ask for the countertops....as they do have a wicked sense of humor.....
( they once sent me a REAL bat for a halloween decoration when I said out loud, I wish we had some halloween decorations....oye don't ask)
vi
and now my friends you know WHY I got countertop envy.............
oh and I have been informed that until the sink gets moved and the dishwasher installed permanently...... there will BE no talk of COUNTER TOPS
sniff
and another quick rant
( I send these originally to my canning group on yahoo.. but I thought you all would laugh so I posted them here~ vi)
I think now it is time to not only can the last of seasonal veggies
but to can things like chili etc...
so we got actual MEALS in the pantry in the jars....
now you all do realize that since I did this.....( this whole can a years almost worth of food)
I have single handedly assured my area of a light and open winter......
with low gas and heating costs
since it never seems to fail....
please be so kind as to examine the following evidence
we got a troy-bilt snowblower in 94, with a 7 year warrenty...... we were able to use it ONCE in 7 years.....in the snow belt no less....... multiple ski resorts went bankrupt
the year that the warrenty was up ( more or less)......our 5 year old furnace became terminally ill
and we replaced it..... of course it happened on september 7 of 2001, and while I was attempting to find a company to replace our furnace..... 9/11 happened...
after the stock market reopened...... we found out that our funds that were earmarked for this......were not there basically...
ok we figured another way around.....
and managed to get an olsen put in......5 year warrenty............. ( do the math)
that year pansies bloomed on our deck at christmas.....
and in january I was in a teeshirt......
ok fast forward to last fall.... 2005, we put in a wood stove..........
ha
again an 'open' winter....
naturally my chimeny is way too short
so the 'draw' only works well at 30 degrees and below....
needless to say.......it was very very warm last winter......
now
this winter......we got 7 cords of wood
a full pantry
we will have new stove pipe and a longer chimney......( the new stove pipe is coming October 12)
I bet you I should give up and start planting peas RIGHT NOW
cause I am sure it is a question of....... 'you call THAT WINTER'
PALM trees are going to migrate NORTH........
want the gas crisis solved???
seriously
all we need to do to solve it
is for bernie and i to buy a hybrid
then the gas crisis will be solved....... the day we sign on the dotted line

I really am still here
wow I haven't said ANYTHING in such a long time
ok I been canning
( yup and knitting and gardening as well)
peaches came on........
so I got more of the
I was given green, and yellow beans.........boom in the jars
and carrots
so they also are in the jars
I am still disorganized
I haven't done a 'real' shopping in about a year!
just shopping the specials and the sales
so we are out of things like oatmeal.............. and bullion
stuff like that
and sadly bernie hasn't had a really really great meal (he's had some pretty darn good ones though) in a while
I finished up canning peach butter at 9 pm last night
today I am scheduled to teach, but I don't know if I have a full class or not......
the garden is late......the tomatoes and the beans are starting to come on however......
so I hope we get enough for the winter......
I topped my tomatoes off last night.. pinching the growin tips and the suckers so that maybe they would ripen the fruits
moron neighbor is throwing rocks about 6 inches long into our garden now
especially at the green beans.
I weeded some of the garden and found just how MUCH rocks he's been throwing.....
he keeps this up he is going to need to buy more rocks and gravel.......
Bernie is looking for a new job
he is a mechanic....... an auto tech.......
he is paid flat rate
please google 'flat rate mechanic'
he can work a 60 hour week and get paid for 24, and he has.......many many times..........
since he is an honest mechanic, takes pride in his work and has less then 1% comeback rate.....he fixes it right the first time.
so I am looking for a new job for him OUTSIDE the auto industry.
something that pays hourly or salary.
send him lots of good luck vibs please
and me too as we have got to move from here with these crazy neighbors

my best friend thea
has been gone over 10 years.
we lost her to inflamatory breast cancer
she came to see me last night.
I know she is ok and all.......but still I worry.
she said 'being dead is not bad at all, actually it's pretty cool, you float around......no body......total freedom'
she told me ' I don't want you to be afraid of death'
I told her I was not afraid of being dead.......but of dieing.
she looked pretty good for a dead woman..........
I miss her so very much,
not a day goes by, ( as she will tell you if you run across her in heaven)
that I do not talk to her......
Or my mom and dad....
or evelyn........or gramma rad............
I was so happy to see thea, to me that was a great great gift.

i need to go out into the garden
I got flying or falling from the sky ROCKS to investigate
and here I thought rocks were subject to the same laws of gravity my fat ass is........cause I fall down the stairs regularly......
as I am NOT a clutz........
I personally blame GRAVITY
but apparently the rocks are immune to GRAVITY.
ok
I weeded yesterday.......which while it SOUNDS boring I will tell you it was exciting what with the HUGE worms i got out there
and apparently there is viagra in them there manures.....
cause them worms were all doing the wild thang...........
seriously I could not pull one freeken weed without a couple of copulating worms coming out
and they ain't no skinny worms
any fisherman's eyes would glaze OVER at the sight of these guys.......
thems some big ass worms............
so here I am dodging GRAVITY defying rocks and giant horny worms.......
all in the effort to bring in the harvest......
which brings me to BAMBI
apparently i HAVE thwarted bambi in my quest to keep the monster tomato vines upright........
I tied the stakes to the fence........ except the tomato vines are about 6 feet away from the fence so there are lines to cross under all over the garden
the lines to cross UNDER are about throat high on bambi............
the lines to cross under do not bother me..........
I am short
walla...
deer proofing of sorts!!!
I am such a genious
hey never mind, I am a genious.........I am
just ask my chickens
til next time
vi
hihi it's me vi again
I'm back for a second
I forgot to tell you all
the ghosts here apparently pulled out the little thing that makes bernie's watch stop
they did it on the 4th of august at 1am
we all were sleeping
upstairs with the door closed and the air on.........
bernie, me and the cats
the chickens were down in the basement
soooooooooooooooooooooo
say hihi to our resident ghosts..
they were having a party in the studio
it's not too early here......about 9:15am
which as most of you know is pretty late for me
but be that as it may
here I am

Buy a man a weedwhacker.......... I KNEW IT
I just knew if Bernie got that weed whacker my garden would never be the same
you guessed it
he decided to WEEDWHACK everything in sight
and I did mention that he is 'plant impaired'
yup
I could send him to the garden for parsley and he would bring back nightshade or worse...
(now you know why I keep a years worth of toilet paper........ I figure with our luck the leaves he would try and use would be poision ivy)
ok soooooooooooooooooooooo
what whacky adventures did bernie have
lets see.......
1) he decapitated a lily, a poppy, some spider wart, and a small oak tree..........
( not bad for an amatur huh?)
2) then he stepped UP his pace, and got the jewelweed...........
3) approuching the garden.......... he warmed up by whacking the outside of the fence........
so far no major problems........ one leaf off a potatoe plant
however the CROWNING glory....................
he whacked my soaker hose............
RIGHT where it comes out of the faucet
you know the one............ that is laid out UNDER the mulch in all the veggie beds...
that I rely on to keep the tomatoes etc hydrated while we are in this heat wave/dog days.........
oh man...........
can I send him somewheres?
can someone send me a hose repair kit..............TODAY?
suggestions anyone?
I can't kill him, he didn't finish the endless kitchen remodel from hell yet
til next time

off to philly
Ok folks.....I am off to the big city
tomorrow ( probably when you all read this it will be today....... )
I am off to philly
I was to come home baring meat.....( imagine the hits I am going to get with THAT phrase)
I was to stop at the packing plant down there and get beef.........
( oh yeah....I am going to get hits......... dirty old men and horny teenage boys huh?)
I was going to get a hundred pounds of beef and a hundred pounds of chicken......
and if the pork was on sale....... a hundred pounds of that
yes you read that right..........hundred pounds
it is for a YEAR you know
anyway, I didn't get enough canning done out of the freezer and I don't have the space to park this while It waits it's turn in the aluminum jaccuzzi (aka my pressure canner)
so that brings me to my NEXT bright idea
I want a second freezer.......
oh and a generator to run it in the event of black out
( that generator would also power the well pump long enough to flush the toilet in the event of a black out...........if not the hot water for the shower..........)
I want a chest freezer
I am 5' tall........and almost 1" if you will give it to me.
bernie says I will fall in the chest freezer and the lid will come down and I will be trapped........
frozen alive
hahahaha
or frozen dead
a vi cycle........ could I be grape flavored???
oh........... well anyway
you all better miss me

bambi's got to die
for eating all my bush beans.
my poor little baby bush beans
they were so happy with their little heads in the sun
stretching up their leafs and soaking up the clean air, soft breezes and soothing rains....
then big bad BAMBI came along and decapitated them
ALL OF THEM
freeken deer didn't leave ONE standing
I piled twiggy branches over the bent and battered leafless little stems......
hoping that maybe a few made it through the gluttony..........
I will find out today
meanwhile another very LARGE fence is on my shopping list........along with a gun,
ammo, pea shooter, poision darts,
stun gun,
and a mobile processing unit
I think we are all fed up with bambi now,
I mean......I leave them tons of food
apples, my roses........ the raspberries......
do they HAVE to eat my garden.........
that's MY space.....
oh and the garlic/hot pepper spray???
well lets just say the deer knocked on the door and asked for MORE.........
damn deer
oh and they ate the bushes on the front porch as well......
what they can't eat the wisteria that took over our house?
or the poision ivy?
nooooooooooooooooooooo
and what does eat the poision ivy......?????
GOATS!!!
and what are we NOT allowed to have due to ZONING?????????????'
GOATS..........
I ask you
does this make any sense to you?
or is it me?
if we are going to have something that resembles mammilian napalm........could it at LEAST
take OUT the poision ivy?
vi
I am ready for my coffee now mr DeVille..

Dearly Beloved.......
we have gathered here today, to discuss the ravages of GRAVITY
and it is with great GRAVITY that I must call your attention to this problem.......
( listen up cause there will be a test afterwards)
I was watching tv last night ..............( ok so I was sort of LISTENING to tv last night as it was behind me..... so don't all faint now... as because of GRAVITY you will hurt yourself)
Nova.
which had a show on quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
now don't go all glazed over...........
I won't subject you all to the fascination of quantum physics......( but really it is FASCINATING, and I truly do love it)
BUT
there was a discussion as part of this show about GRAVITY
the smart scientists have decided it is a WEAK force.......
ha
WHAT THE HELL do they know?????
I am sitting here dealing with the ravishes of GRAVITY and I am asking you all.......
WEAK????
are they F***ing Nuts?
Ok lest you think I am nuts.......
allow me to go DOWN the list........
ready now???
boobs,
well really due to GRAVITY they should be on the BOTTOM of the list,
since
as you all KNOW
they have descended...and are now footstools.
I swear I am getting bunions on my nipples.
WRINKLES
again, a function of GRAVITY as I could NOT frown that much nor look that tired without extraneous help.
not after a night's sleep, and a pretty decent nights sleep at that
BLADDER function:
I am pretty sure that all my organs have dropped on top of this poor long suffering organ, which has naturally caused it to tell me to empty it once every freeken hour...........
but only at night...........
and to pay particular attention to 2am.......
which as we know is the 'bladder witching hour'
Staircases
they seem to catch and HOLD GRAVITY
just waiting for me to attempt to decend them........ where they loosen their hold on GRAVITY and cause me to go tumbling down.
thank GOODNESS I like purple and magenta as I am wearing enough of those colors after my latest encounter with the staircase GRAVITY.
TIRED LEGS
from standing over the canner or the garden or the soapkettle
AGAIN all this is GRAVITY's fault..........because without GRAVITY
I would be FLOATING over the above tasks.......
and my legs would not have the entire map of the Chicago metro area etched on it in multi colors...
or so I hear, as I haven't actually SEEN my legs in quite a while
which brings me to something GRAVITY seems to have missed...........
my STOMACH
how big CAN it get without me actually BEING pregnant?
and why?
Did Larry, Moe and Curly get tired of playing with our elected officals and decide to do reverse Lyposuction on my stomach?
and just WHERE is all that girth coming from??
but I digress............
back to GRAVITY
It causes the tottering pile of books and papers to come tumbling DOWN whenever a fly lands on them
It causes me to drop stuff constantly, as I could not POSSIBLY be that clumsy right?
Ok ok
so GRAVITY does have it's good points..
due to GRAVITY,
pee tends to occasionally find it's way into the actual toilet.( if you are a man, woman strangely do not have that problem)
due to GRAVITY,
Drool slips DOWN your chin instead of UP your nose, although in certain sleeping positions that may not work
due to GRAVITY,
the contents of the cat box are NOT floating around the ceiling, only the actual CATS are................
And
most importantly to me right this minute
due to GRAVITY
my coffee is sitting happily in my cup and waiting for me to swill it properly
there by waking me up
but not before I ran around with the inner workings of my demented brain on view for all the world to see..........
til next time
vi
ps: THERE will be a test
oh and pss:
coffee kitchen
blackberry sage
freesia
cucumber
is the list of soaps that will be waiting for you all in september........
the rose is already sold ( I told you all that this stuff goes pretty fast, half the coffee soap is gone as well)
I will update this list every day I make soap guys

to those who garden
we have a pretty big veggie garden this year.....
we finally gave into the lure of the one open treeless area of our property and put in the tomatoes.
laboriously turned over the scant 2" of top soil
pitched manure for a day....
( a very hot day...... little preview of hell there... shoveling manure on the hottest day of the year.....even the BUGS were too hot to bite)
pounded fence posts into the ground......
sweated, pleaded and conjoled all the little seeds
battled endless rain, grasshoppers, boils and pestilance
and what do we have now??????
VERY tall lush tomatoes.....
hundreds of full vigorious potates
bean plants
cucumber plants
AND DEER
very well FED deer apparently
even with the fence!
you see deer can JUMP
and they apparently do not KNOW that the tomatoe leaves are supposed to kill them.......
and that the fence is a polite way of informing them that
'please do not come in here, Thank you Bambi'
they LAUGHED at my fence
and sail over it with ease and grace.......
the uphill neighbor said...........'something is coming OUT of my garden, either vegetables or venison but something eatable is going to be coming out of there'
now we don't eat venision
but I am thinking........maybe
we can SELL that venision and BUY the damn vegetables
I know that the deer, well fed and burping
are gathering in lawn chairs out there afterwards
watching us through the windows like deer tv
and laughing
Just know that........

soapie notice
ok folks, I started the soaping for the late summer and the fall....( and winter too I suppose)
today I put cucumber
and rose in the molds
soooooooooooooo
those two will be ready September 24!!!
I will be soaping for quite a while until I get the stock back up to par
any requests let me know now.....or wait to next season...
I have to say the kitchen smells like a summer garden!
I really would have liked to do some big 50 pound batches but right now I am doing some of the soaps that while they do have a following.....it's a smaller following
but the fall and holiday soaps as well as the popular ones will have pretty big batches
but I do have to warn you all....... Get your orders in as soon as you can..
hahaha
I can't WAIT to do the pumpkin spice and the apple harvest soaps..........
woo hoo......
( ok so I don't have much of a life........)

The Creator has a sense of Humor
do you need proof?
other then my life of course.....
well let us start with this
reproduction
ahhhhhhhhhh ooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww
ok
so here is the lowdown
in humans for the most part
we insert tab A into slot B
and wiggle all about
which produces part C
and here you thought it was all sacred & beautiful
HA.......
turns out the Creator is THE same engineer who makes toys that frantic parents try at assemble on Christmas eve!
( I see you all nodding your heads remembering all the cursing and fumbling around and hushed whispers on Christmas eves past)
only humans do not come with the instruction sheet that is written in four languages and has all the diagrams and parts labeled
NO WONDER the species has problems.............
we are all still fumbling around!
now folks that possess the tab A's are always running around looking for slots to fit their tabs into
they sometimes don't care if it is slot b, c, d, e, f or xyz............
it makes for interesting experiences I would imagine.
and the folks that possess the slot B are sometimes trying to keep the tab A's out.......
after all not everyone is ready for a part C
and this is a good thing.
I am pretty sure that a lot of the confusion that folks that possess the differently engineered areas stems from the fact that they can not really understand the opposite folks..........
I mean it does stand to reason..no?
anway
that is just my observation while waiting for my canner timer to go off..............
til next time
