Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Seems it was awfully quiet on the coffee thread this morning. Yeah, I'm just getting on here. Think it may have had something to do with the cold milk I had this AM? Opened frig, in a hurry, poured milk -- that acted as breakfast, too -- did chores, ran in to change & go to work. Took a cup of coffee on the way. Home at 6:30, changed, out to chores & milking. Now I have about 3 gallons in the fridg Off tomorrow, need to make cheese! Maybe cream instead. Or both. Brat keeps on putting out milk!

I swear, working gets in the way!!! Haven't seen weather but, I need to mow whatever it is. Catch ya'll in the AM...I may sleep in. If I can.

I still haven't figured out how to get more done.

Blasted summer is over... trying desperately to finish up some painting before it gets too cold.

Well -- I did sleep in!! 7:30 alarm got me up Gotta say it was a nice & welcome sleep. Out to open coops, count noses, etc. In & checking on all computer things while grass dries a b bit. Plan to ride for 3-4 hours to top some junk in fields. Then -- ?? -- who knows. It isn't like I don't have several lists to choose from but, it may turn into a "what do you FEEL" you want to do & not necessarily most needed. Need a day like that sometimes. This is my "day off" after all.

I know it's Saturday -- but, where is everyone?? Hello!

Just came in from morning chores, cooked up a pkg of breakfast sausages and sitting here catching up with those and a big mug of tea. Gray, gray, gray out. Temp isn't bad. Humidity is high. Supposed to be sunny and 80 today. I have to redesign a better way to store my small square bales. The last 12 I bought, I have 4 left and they are all mold covered... Trying to salvage what I can from inside the bales. What a waste.

LO had me up five times last night. A special needs aunt told her about monsters. I didn’t sleep much.
Whole pot of coffee was gone in ten minutes. I still couldn’t remember what to do with the batter. Apple coffee cake finally got done though.

Make Monster Spray. Guarenteed to kill Monsters on contact. It is so strong that even a week after it is dried, if a Monster touches it, it will immediately DIE. "What about the Monster bodies?" a child asks breathlessly, with wide open eyes. Monster Spray is so strong, then when the Monster touches it and DIES, the Monster's body instantly VAPORIZES! GONE! Monsters are terrified of Monster Spray and will not even come near it.

Then you let the child spray under the bed, in the closet, across the doorway and window sills. The room will be protected against Monsters for a whole week, then repeat the process, making a BIG DEAL of out of it. If the child wants to spray more often, let them. It makes them feel powerful against those bad ol' Monsters!

How to make Monster Spray; First give the child a small piece of paper and have him/her draw a scary monster. Be very impressed by the drawing. Then take a red magic marker, draw a circle with an x in it and explain that means Death to Monsters. This will be your label, so make sure that it fits a spray bottle. Then fill a spray bottle with water and a cap full (or less) of Pine Sol. This will give it a smell that Monsters hate because they know it is DEADLY to them. Put this bottle in a place that the child can access and let her/him know that it is ok to use it when they feel afraid. When my daughter was little, she would spray my room as well, so the Monsters didn't get me! LOL LOL
