@Wehner Homestead I'm at Page 10 of your journal, reading about making chili and how other people make it and what should or should not be in chili....I'm hungry now and it makes me want some chili! LOL

Tropical storm Alberto has been dropping plenty of rain on us. Schools actually sent the kids to the basement yesterday and held them after dismissal for a severe thunderstorm to clear.
Wednesday night DH bush hogged the border between our fence and the neighbor’s soybeans before the beans would be damaged from him cleaning up our fencerow. He still needs to chainsaw a few things and I’ll run the lawnmower on the inside to help reach under the actual wire.
DH dropped off stool samples on Otis (bull) and Blossom this morning. Waiting to hear the results of those.
Forgot to mention that I’m down to 10 cats if you count the kittens. Minnie was a casualty to farm equipment during the last round of hay. I mentioned that we were planning to remove her from the farm in some way so I guess that took care of itself.
Need to get a pen ready to move the bucks to so they can browse. Also need a creep feed pen for the group of calves that are now in with the bull and can’t get to the main creep feeder. Our garage is also a disaster and I’m not even parking in it right now. I keep pushing to get the shed moved here for the chickens too! The last set are in less than ideal quarters and I feel like it’s bordering on cruel. (I’m sure it could be much worse but I prefer my animals spoiled!) Pig pen also needs torn down and cleaned up. Ugh! Lots to do.
DD1 is now a Kindergarten graduate too!
Here’s a few pics to go with this update...

Ya know....if ya subtract the time spent doing other things, like tending to the kids or being at work, from the hours in a weeks time....ya would see that ya are getting quite a bit done in the time that ya spend at it. It always seems the list of things to do heavily outweighs the time to do it all....throw in a few plans, wants and desires....and there aren't enough marks on the watch or numbers on a digital clock to fit it all in. I think ya have ypur platter Full and sometimes ya just have to feel good about what it is that ya have gotten Done.....

I still think that what you are getting done is impressive. It's the 'unplanned' things that seem to take the most time. Our porch has one of those story doors that you can pull the window down and the screen comes down to fill the same space. We had a thunderstorm roll in last night and when I went to close the window the entire assembly came out of the door.

Like a hole where the window was?? I know water coming in isn't good BUT -- be thankful it wasn't a snow blizzard.

It normally would have gotten wet in there as it faces south but the wind (and rain) were out of the west last night. The new door is installed and the old one at the dump station
