I never had canaries, but I had parakeets, but they all died within two days of eachother. I suppose that could say something, but if there was radon in my bedroom I don't think I'd be here. Now I attach feathers to empty water bottles and put them in the bird cage so its not to empty..
Did you find it Dace?

Today I am taking my relaxing week one step further.....I am still in my nightgown and its 1 pm. And I don't really care who knows it! 
Its a beautiful day here and I'm thinking of meandering upstairs to get on some clothes....maybe do the dishes that are piled high...or not....or snuggle down on the porch with the cats and read a book.
I should be cleaning house, working in the garden, cleaning out the building, filling and cleaning out plastic jugs, running the weed eater, straightening up the hay stack and a thousand other things that need tending....like painting the porch, the outbuilding, two bedsteads and the porch railings.
But I'm not.
I've spent the morning watching a movie with the boys and talking on these forums. I feel bad about that.....
NOT!
The Lord is so good to me!

Had a huge storm today and its still raining. My corn blew down! 
Hate when that happens but it seems to do so every year.
The Bettys seem to be filling out slowly and seem to be grazing the orchard more since I mowed it. Just like the deer are all hitting the hay fields after the first cutting. Those more tastey grasses are now able to flourish and it seems to be doing the Bettys good.
Hitch, the pot-bellied, scruffy calf is starting to look and act better also but she is still a pretty poor specimen compared to Princess Shade.
I think it also has helped tremendously that I finally put up my mineral feeder loaded with kelp and salt. They went crazy over it for the first few days and now seem to dip in daily for a taste. I just cut the side out of one of my 3 gal. plastic jugs and tied it to a tree....seems to work just fine as a mineral feeder.
I just started back into giving them all a little sweet feed with raw eggs in the evenings also.....just a little to keep them growing. I'm not so worried about the Bettys as I am about the calf. She looks so thin-hipped and ewe necked. She and her mother both had that look anyway but I was hoping to fill her out a little better by now, even without the advantages of milk feeding.
We'll see how much the minerals help. Also plan to Basic H all the animals again soon, as its been a couple of months now since I did.

Son #2 left for basic training today. Will miss him like I would miss breathing.
Had an inquiry about the cow today and how much I wanted for her. I gave them my phone number and told them to give it to the interested party but I don't plan to sell her until I get her back and get her all glossed up again. Apparently, a milk cow is pretty hard to come by around here, which makes me wonder how in the world I got to buy her in the first place.

You got her because you deserved her. You needed a good experience with a cow, even if the timing didn't seem right, it was just perfect. And you will make a few bucks, too.
As for your kid.....

Thanks, free. I'm having a tough day and could use hugs.
Found out today that, while we were staying in the hotel on our rafting trip, someone stole my two youngest boy's social security cards out of my purse. I only left it briefly to go next door for a meal, door was firmly closed and locked. The hotel denies it could be any of their personnel.....of course.
Now I have to find out how to keep their identities from being utilized......anyone have any ideas on what to do next to avoid repercussions?
If there is one thing I cannot bear in this life, its a thief....sooner shoot 'em than look at 'em.

It is scary. I would contact the SS office and ask their opinion.
On the other hand it is EASY to get anyone's SSN and other important information. I am always amazed when my geek son looks up stuff for me on the net what is out there for everyone to view if they know how.
For example try Googling your own name!

Tried that once and found out that I am a model and am also an author. Didn't find the real me, though! I really, really looked good as a model, though.
I will try to call all the appropriate places tomorrow but this feels like such a violation.....like someone intentionally is trying to hurt my kids which, of course, brings out the bear in me.
