Think I’ll strike a deal, help me and I’ll help you.

A good old fashioned coop raising!

Wow on chickens. You hate when that happens. Wish you were close, I could give him some layers. But nice yours are providing eggs enough for all.

Great to have sunshine....got two loads of clothes on line this morning.

Blackberries not ready for big picking but, did find another elder batch starting. Appreciated! Others are really full of blooms and berries started. Banner year if it doesn't dry up rain for a month, again.

Took goats to back fields. Found their escape, fixed it. So far they are busy eating and I have enough well growing grasses to not need hay. Big $$ drain -- as you know. Had to stay with them for a while until they settled from the "we're wild and free" run
of the new field after all the rains have kept them close to their barn. Now settled into serious eating. New tree growth for them to clean up too. Lot of new blackberry shoots trying to expand...they'll be eaten this week. . Excellent forage for them.

Lunch is over for me. Heading back out to do a little fixing on the kids weaning field. They need to go it alone! Moms are over it and I need milk....work slacking enough to do milking time.

Got 8 chickens cut, vacuum sealed and in the freezer. First I packed 7 quart jars with chicken backs, necks, hearts, skin, wing tips and got the pressure canner going. Then I did the chickens. I packed 7 more quart jars and they are in the canner now. Not up to pressure yet, just got them in there. Dogs will have 14 more jars of chicken to mix with their food.

Cloudy and muggy start, then some sun but then dark clouds by 4... unloaded all the cupboards and stuff, and it started to rain about 5.... some thunder but really steady light to medium rain.... supposed to get a couple hours then taper off and pass by and then clearing for about a week. Tomorrow will be hay cutting time...

I will work on getting 2 of the cupboards scrubbed out from the mice and stuff and then put in the house this week. Got another few boxes of stuff to bring up and then major cleaning down there.... Be glad to see some less humid weather and get some hay made this week.

Spouse is gone for a week... some training thing...

So after church, and then after doing a flag day thing at the elks we swung by the store!!!!

I got "staples" for kid #2, it is his birthday tomorrow, turning 20, and he is house sitting... so I got him 4 pounds of bacon, a huge block of pepper jack, and 6 or so frozen gluten free meals. (I know... no greens, but he is eating seaweed and fireweed).

For my house I grabbed 4 pounds of bacon, a huge thing of Jimmie Dean sausage, frozen pizza, sour cream and a bunch of kinds of potato chips! I even got several kids of soda for the kids (in general I never buy that stuff).

Also, ice cream and popsicles!!!

We all got home...



I watered the green house,shook the tomatoes and peppers.. thumped all flowers...

Put my feet up and ate gobs of sour cream with garlic and cheddar potato chips!!

Kids are now playing some combat video game.

We decided tonight was kid #2's birthday... so all the junk food and video games.

And now I will NAP at a stupid time of 4:30.

But no spouse,so all good!

I’m proud to announce that the washing machine is not dead. It merely finished its cycle and I put clothes in the dryer.
