Denim Deb Hay, hay, hay. Thank the Lord!

Or, to duck inside!

I love "Murder she Wrote!" Good, clean murder mysteries!! I've probably seen every episode 3 times!! My mom and I would watch together sometimes and we always figured out who the killer was! One of my favorite memories of "mom time."

If I watch closely, I get it. If not, I don't.

I havent seen that show in years! It's in the 70s here today and sunny. It rained hard last night but turned into a beautiful day.

 

[Denim Deb]

It's going to be nice here tomorrow, or at least nicer than it is today!

I've finally gotten warm! Once I get cold, it's hard for me to get warm again-unless I drink something hot. Even getting a hot shower doesn't warm me up. Now, I'd like to go to bed, but I have prayer meeting tonight. I should make dinner, just not sure what to make. I want scalloped potatoes w/ham, but hubby says he can't eat potatoes. Maybe I should make them anyway.

 

[CheerioLounge]

Hmmm... where have I heard that kind of talk before? I vote make 'em anyway!

They're cooking right now, a whole big casserole of them. So, leftovers will be put into individual servings and frozen. I'm wondering why I didn't do this B4. I love being able to just go down in the freezer and grabbing something for lunch or dinner.

Yesterday, we got a good, soaking rain. And while in some ways we needed it, in other ways we didn't. I still had puddles in front of Misty and Stormy's stall as well as in front of the gate into my field from off the road. They had just gotten to the point of getting close to drying up when we got this rain. And, it was about an inch. Plus, they're calling for more rain on Saturday. So that means I need to get hay out tomorrow. I hope I can get the tractor in my field cuz there ain't no way I'll be able to get it in come Sunday. And, I'll need hay by the very latest on Sunday, if not Saturday. So, the field is back to being a muddy mess. But, it is supposed to dry up some for next week.

I got started on cleaning out my green house today. I didn't realize there was so much junk in there! Some has been trashed, some has been put in my hay shelter, namely the stuff I'll be getting rid of, and some I brought inside. The groundhogs have done a number in there, and I have several holes to fill in. Plus, some of the plastic has come loose, so I need to staple that back down.

Hubby just called. Why am I not surprised? He stopped for a couple of drinks w/a friend, said he'd be leaving at around 5:00, 5:30. Then he calls me at almost 7:00. He's just leaving and is heading home. Well, he just called again. He stopped at another bar, and found that tonight is the opening night of Texas Hold Em, so he's staying. If I wanted to, I could come over for some dinner. I already ate. I'm going to go and get a shower, then spend some time reading and studying my Bible. It's all I have left to do on my list for today. I'm hoping I can be in bed by 9:00, 9:30 at the latest. I'm trying my hardest to get up no later than 5:00 so I have enough time in the morning to do stuff. Can't do it if I stay up too late. Then I drag and want to go back to bed.

I'll be so glad when I'm done therapy, it just seems to take up so much time. It can be a challenge arranging my day around it. I was able to get everything done I wanted to get done B4 I left, so thought I was doing good. I even took my prayer list w/me since I planned on praying at the farm. It's too muddy to do much, so I figured I could pray while I was waiting for enough time to pass B4 I could give Stormy his 2nd feeding.

I got to the farm, opened my tack shed and found it was cold in there. So, I turned on my heater so it would be nice and warm in there when I was done feeding. Got the horses fed, took care of the chickens, opened the door to my tack shed to no heat. The tank was empty. The horses were getting low on hay, so I figured I'd go see how much they had, and take out the baling twine from the bale they're eating. I got that done. But, it was still too early to feed Storm. I went back in the tack shed and decided I'd try to light the heater for just in case. And, I'd work on a logic puzzle since it shouldn't have taken me long. The heater lit! I get started on the puzzle. Cindy was w/me. I finally had to kick her out. She kept getting up on my table and making it impossible to do anything. I go back to work. The heater makes a funny noise. I look over, it had gone out. I didn't even bother to try and light it again. I knew I wouldn't be able to get it going again.

I realized that I had made a mistake in my puzzle, so I erased everything and started over. KN comes and knocks on the door. I talked to her a bit, but still worked a bit on my puzzle. She left, I went back to my puzzle and realized I had made another mistake! It was still early for feeding Stormy, but I was cold and just wanted to go home. So, I fed him, bagged feed, took care of the cats and left.

I get home, open the door and realize it's cold in the house. There was almost no fire and I had turned off the electric heat since it was supposed to be warm. Well, it wasn't. I got the fire going, turn the heater back on, and heated up some leftovers for lunch. I thought about praying then, but I was too cold and knew I wouldn't be able to concentrate. I thought about reading David Copperfield, but wasn't in the mood. So, I found a book I enjoy and read that for a bit, ate and got warm. Then I went out and worked on wood. I cannot cut any right now. One of my chainsaws needs the chain put back on, the other needs to be sharpened. But, I had quite a bit of wood I couldn't split by hand, so I got out the log splitter and got to work. Some pieces I still couldn't split. So, I'll cut them smaller, then try to split them. There are a couple that, if I can't split them any smaller, I can't put in my stove. I'm hoping if I get them shorter, I'll be able to split them.

I was getting the last load in when I noticed a car parked at the end of the street. I had to check it out. Found out that the woods are for sale, and this guy is wanting to buy it. But, there could be some complications. I did warn him that if he got it he probably couldn't put in a development. W/the stream and the swamp, they can't put many houses in. Plus he'd have to redo the street. That's what has kept this as woods. It's not really financially worth it. And, if they wanted a variance, there's probably not a person on the street who would sign it. (We like the woods and the quiet.) But, he's still wanting to get it. And, if he does, he doesn't care if I take out the downed trees, or clean up the paths and ride in there.

I got a bit done in the green house, found out hubby only wanted leftovers and a burger (he makes his own), so I didn't have to worry about cooking dinner. I did get dishes done. I also finally had a chance to sit back for prayer time, time to read my Bible, and work on the study I'm doing in Galatians. I got a shower, heated up some leftovers, and watched Monk, ate and read David Copperfield. Now, I'm going to stuff the stove and get to bed. It's supposed to rain tonight into tomorrow, which means I probably won't go for my bird walk. But I'm hoping I get quite a number of kids out for nature club. We'll see.
