if anyone can appreciate it to the fullest it would be you! :) hope it helped. i did get a few winks unintentionally when watching a few vids, but it wasn't for longer than a few moments. will conk out early tonight.

my get up and go left this morning. i've needed a nap all day and not been able to fall asleep. just shelling beans and enjoying the quiet. :)

sounds like you have your hands full as usual, but i sure hope things calm down some soon!

this evening had a good conversation with the neighbor out back and they are going to plow the field to the south of us this week - reseed it in a month or two. talked about the thistles and that there will probably be some need to spot spray for those. he already put markers out there but i...

we did get more rains so things are greatly improved. i didn't do much today outside. i had plenty inside to keep me busy. :)

i spot clean. that means i clean in spots. also means that i am spotted and clean and also if there is a dog named Spot i'm also probably going to clean that too... if i can get started on it then i will go about a half hour before finding some reason to do something else or get called away...

we finally got some rain this evening! we've really needed it so very welcome to hear the sounds on the roof. ah, looks like that is all we get for now. some better than none. so dry out there now we've had fire warnings a few times the past week (which are not very common around here) -...

rope making skills of old would be interesting to get more into sometime (at one time i was trying to get my neighbor lady to teach me how to tat but that did not ever happen) and of course learning more knots than the few i know would be useful someday... old time skills that people took for...

i remember when i was younger how that was the fad of that time. sorry to hear about health issues... :( hope you will get some help or improvement soon.

after opening my big mouth above (hehehe) i got half a garden done today (not a whole garden or two). in my defense the ground is pretty hard (no rain and mostly clay) even if this is one of my better gardens it still was coming out in chunks larger than the blade of the shovel. i was hopping...

clean up? i just bury it all with any garden debris. since Mom can't stand mulches being left on the surface any thing i've used to mulch and anything left from the garden has to be buried and raked smooth enough. per garden i dig a trench (so i'm not disturbing the entire garden so my method...

ricer :) when i went away to college the house i'd spent 14 years in was sold not too long after so all my stuff was either discarded or boxed up and stuffed in the attic of my brother's garage (including my model trains and part of the layout i'd been working on for years and all the...

Friday i was finally able to get the bare boards stained to match the rest of the house and restained the cover for the crawlspace entrance. they weren't too bad looking as they were but they'd needed to be done since we put them up and the crawlspace entrance was peeling some and Mom used some...

good time to read a book. :) thank you for the update! and so glad to hear it went ok.

yes! once in a while it works out. :) actually i don't have anything to complain about really, i don't have expensive tastes or expensive hobbies for the most part so... simple things are good and we have some good friends so it is nice when it works out.

from me too. i keep you both in my thoughts.

no frost in our forecast for tonight but last night and the night before pretty much did the job on any remaining veggie plants out there. today i got a part of a garden cleaned up. plenty more to do. nice thing was that i got a few bags of bean pods and half a bucket of pods, plus veggie...

*ingroan*

we've had two nights of frosts. it's been cool in the early evenings already... next week down to low 50sF during the day. brrr!

tonight i'm thinking peanut butter and apricot jam half a sandwich and a mug of vanilla hot water (with a little brown sugar in it). i've already had my chocolate, caramel, almonds, etc. snacks today. so no more of those this evening...
