Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Thewife]

Haven't heard yet if the nephew is coming with us. If he does there is a good chance we will be trapped in a rig for a day with the 2 year old. Not really looking forward to that!

I wouldn't look forward to that either!

I'm alone again today, at least until company comes. BIL is coming after Hannah's bull calf and will be here briefly. He has many stops to make this trip up. I guess I should clean house today. I hate that job!

I've done this trip with a 2 year old! It was dark, we were going down one of them long straight roads with nothing but farm land on either side and I seriously wanted out! Walking the who knows how many miles, alone in the dark, sounded like a good idea to me!

Clean house? Why, it's just gonna get dirty again?

Cooler here too, almost chilly this morning, had to use a blanket last night!

I have a broody hen, what do you all do with them? I remove her from the next box everyday and collect what eggs she is sittin on. She puffs up and tells me how unhappy she is, but she doesn't try to peck me. I have no roo's otherwise I'd let her sit.

Finally got some renters for our rental..geesh its been months empty. I hope they are used to living in the country - last two renters were cityfide and couldn't grasp country living.

Waving hello.....

I'm in trouble!
I finally stopped to look at my garden! Instead of just moving the sprinkler and running back to the A/C.
My cukes and beans are going nuts!
Not enough to do any thing with today, but I have a horrible feeling by the time we get back, either I will be throwing out a bunch of over done veggies or I will become 1 with my canner.
And, Hubby's tomato plant, might have fallen over and the main stem is half broke?
I need to dig up my garlic too.

Hey Bronco Hollow, do you know anybody with some fertile eggs she can hatch for you?

Good morning! Today will be a big day here...gotta work the calves, will likely shred and freeze all the zucchini I picked yesterday and blanch and freeze the broccoli (several more heads coming on the other kind, Lord help me!), and THEN go pick the beets so I can deal with those - I'm already out of room in the fridge! This afternoon we have the hoof trimmer coming to work on Bridgit, Sheila and probably T-Bone, so I'll take that opportunity to finally get everyone's booster shots done (a little late, oops), pull of the mats on Bridgit's underside she won't let me get, and then dose everyone really well with fly stuff - including their bellies. Thank heavens DH is shut down from logging this week so will be home today for all the fun.

I had some time this afternoon I was going to work on putting some of Peanut's quilt squares together. The machine is acting up! Changing the needle didn't help. So much for that idea.

 

[wynedot55]

your gonna have miss peanuts quilt done before she starts school.

 

[Thewife]

Ok!
Bills paid, laundry done, most of of the garlic is dug, showed the boy what needs done, filled feeders, RSVP'd, just need to pack!
(I think)

No I'm not! School starts in 1 month (Sept.1) I won't get it done before then. Especially, if the machine keeps giving me grief.
