Thanks @MiniHorses I think I'm going to get the cabbage harvested and make those eggrolls. DH got about 5 acres mowed then tedded it. Will ted again tonight. A lot of weeds but needs cut and pulled off of the fields so they come around and are full of hay not weeds. It's a work in progress and will feed the horses for now. oh Good news the hay wasn't moldy... just a layer of ash...from the fires out west no wonder DD1's allegies are going crazy.

Have a 3 day weekend at the lake planned next weekend... very much looking forward to fishing and swimming and relaxing.

Looks like that front is going to stay south of us and travel to @Mini Horses again.... we sure need it. A 1 inch rain would be heaven right now.
So glad it was ash and not mold on your hay @promiseacres .... we haven't had the ash but alot of hazy skies from the smoke in higher elevations.
Getting ready to head for the meter calibration and then the list of errands on the way home.

Yay!!!! We had a super red sun today, compliments of the fires out west and in Canada. Even that far away they have made our air quality index "Moderate". Of course that would be EXCELLENT! compared to people closer downwind from the fires.

Crazy.... but glad it wasn't mold...


I kept thinking of those moldy bales off and on all night last night, I wanted to go check your roof... maybe a leak....

Anyway... NOT mold, even better!

Thinking of the marching of time....

No idea where I got the idea in my young person head....

But for some reason I had a clear understanding that I had to make sure that
1. My no was always no. So I rarely said no, but if I did that was it, no backing down, no getting around it... if that meant an hour of crying or a crazy amount of work on my part, so be it.
2. Everything I wanted in my kids had to be in there by age 7. From 7 to 12 was fine tuning. But age 7 was the cut off.

I spent so much time discussing character traits and the whys of things, critical thinking and how to truly love, to focus on being selfless, not selfish.

I regret heaps of things in my life, but not that. Now my kids are far from grown, eldest will soon be 23....

But they never went through adolescent stuff. They all learned to be kind, loving, work well together, respectful, and the basic Christian virtues.

They are incredible people, and a great joy to be around.

Taking an afternoon break, with a cup of tea. Grated up a pile of zucchini logs, got 8 bags of 3 cups each. I’ll make lasagna noodles, zucchini bread, use as thickener on soups, stews and chili. Got elderberries out of the freezer to strain out and make elderberry syrup. Doing 3 rd load of clothes, 99F outside and I’m not interested.

Just found a junker for eldest... market up here is brutal.

Ya have to be FAST, and cash in hand to grab something.

Big rust hole by driver door.

Why so many rust holes? Can it be fixed with bondo?
