post birthday recovery

first off thank you all for your birthday wishes, i do appreciate it.
we had a good day
i went out to lunch with jen and lesley.
we went to applebees, and i had some sort of penne with chicken and cheese sauce
we went to hobby lobby fast too, i got a pencil sharpener and two erasers .

then bernie got a raise, there was some confusion as to how much he actually was making at his job...... it still is not all straightened out but he is getting a raise........not the amount everyone (including his boss) initially thought.

we went to red lobster (finally) to lump all the celebrations together, from our anniversary, my birthday, his raise, and his birthday (in 8 days) i was exhausted
i did have cheesecake at red lobster.

this morning i naturally had trouble getting up!

now back to the real world, ..........DUCKIE news....... due to the extreme rain and flooding.....i had to bath duckies before bed last night...... lillianna was completely black and covered with mud
the black mud is my wonderful organic compost laden garden soil washing out...
oh man
that duck was filthy!
phoebe too and momma was but just a little....... oye
so before we could go anywhere i had three duckies one after another in the bath

we also stopped at petsmart and saw a few light gray parakeets with white wings, but they were older so i didn't bring one home...

it's supposed to get warmish this week and downright hot over the weekend so i may plant beans on the new fence. and my impatients are up!!!! oh and some of my lettuces also sprouted.
i have to fill a planter with leeks and one with lettuces as well..... i have so many chores now
oh and the bad pullets that i caught laying and immediately EATING the freshly laid egg...... they ARE going up the hill before they teach my other chickens bad habits

(i just asked mark on facebook if he has time....he'll get to it this week)

let's see, what all else........ we hopefully have decided to get a storage shed and a greenhouse instead of the lawn mower, so that when we do get the lawn mower, it will have a home...... i hope anyway.
i saw a greenhouse kit for 799. it's 10X12........ it would make my life easier i think..... bernie wanted to know where i was going to put it...
i think that with jackass neighbor's demon spawn kids gone.......could be out on the lawn there ( and then that further reduces the mowing area) and maybe we should put the shed on the back of the house........ where we have to take the wooden wall/door down to replace it.....why not just put a shed there and extend that area...?
i also need some cold frames for over wintering greens

we need to talk about this again...
now the weekend is due to be really warm so bernie just may put the patio furniture up....if he does i would imagine we'll grill
and i need to start more pepper plants today
oye

i am soooooo disjointed and distracted
later.......

  1. From experience, try to put the greenhouse and shed relatively close together. That way shed stuff actually stays in the shed.
