Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

I just love all the pictures. The goats are so cute and so are your kids! Good luck on the job front. It is tough right now.

Phew, I am aching today. We got the garden tilled and I wheelbarrowed in homegrown fertilizer to cover the topsoil. It is going to be at least 8 weeks I bet until I can actually plant anything outdoors but if feels good to have it ready. So far, my tomatoes seedlings are going well inside but no sign of the sweet peppers. I'll give them some more time but I am wondering if they might be duds.

I helped my parents plan out their fencing yesterday and it looks like they are going with a solid fence instead of electric netting. Once they get all of the materials together, looks like I am going to be spending a few weeks cementing posts and stretching fence again. Boy are my arms going to be ripped .

Spending this rainy day at home with my oldest son. He has been up all night and is sleeping on the bathroom floor right now. This is the weirdest sickness we have going through our family. It started three weeks ago on the with our son the day we got home from picking up baby goats. He was sick for about 4 days, then was fine. We thought it was a fluke thing since no one else got it and usually when one goes down, they are all sick within a few days. Then Easter morning, my daughter started in with it. Sick for 4 days or so and then fine. Now here we are again. I am getting out the lysol and bleach today and doing toys, doorknobs, floors, tossing out toothbrushes, and just in general being a germophobe.

Hope he feels better quickly!

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Thanks. I moved him to his bedroom but he wants to lie on the floor . I know how that feels---like the bed is just too soft and makes your stomach actually feel worse. Momma here just wants to baby him but he seems to want me to back off a bit. Not only is he sick, but he doesn't need me? NOOoooooo you be all grown up and not need me! Don't make me ground you!

I ran out of Lysol. Anyone want to drop some off? Got the bathrooms deep cleaned and the kitchen top to bottom. Ben is sleeping. It is raining outside. So, yeah, I'm bored and have no cleaning products.

Hope all your family gets well and you don't get another round of this!

Yup...children grow up quickly and it's hard when they want their mama to back off and want more independence...I remember that well

Do you have vinegar handy? That makes a decent cleaner.

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Oh, yeah lots of vinegar. Think that might disinfect too? I just feel like this house needs to be scrubbed

 

[bonbean01]

I'd look it up online, but have been told that vinegar does disenfect...so...maybe ?

Loved the photos...and again...your children are beautiful

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Thanks! I kinda think they are cute. Especially when they are napping .

I think I'll give the vinegar a whirl. Can't hurt. (And is it weird that I like the smell?)
