Up until almost 3am with canner going. Gotta do when ya gotta do. . 7 qts done. Pretty in jars . I need to convert about 5 gal of milk into "something" today. Hope to make sweet pepper jelly AND need to go pick those elderberry, which means more processing into? Plus those tomatoes from picking yesterday are getting ripe, so I need to can those this weekend. Sure gonna eat well this winter!! . It's busy!

Well need to get my 2nd cuppa. Slept until 7:30 and will now be milking a little late. Girls are waiting. Of course, I need to take some milk out of frig to get more in!!. Cheese day.

Somehow I got yard mowed this week and job worked 35 hrs. It's hard to fit it all in some weeks. at least no back to school shopping needed here.

At my school you only need the school laptop they give us and whatever we want to take notes if we feel like taking notes. I go to school with my laptop and a pencil that’s it.

Wow that fact that your comment 18,000 is crazy. I would love to come but if I put more then 4 days of school I get 10% of my grade deducted in my dual enrollment classes.

Taking an iced coffee break. Covering a board slat entry with wire. Already soaked and dripping wet with sweat. Had to machete chop vines out of the way and some tree branches. It’s not even 10:00 and I’m already tired. Can’t stop. Got to get it done.

Slept in this morning. Got lots to get done the next couple days, first its time to finish some long paperwork, then gotta start cleaning the barn and doing some major packing.
