Pink Fox: its Raining...IN MY HOUSE! :/

[pinkfox]

well i made it through yesterday without even a nap, whent to bed slept well and was up at my usual time so hoping that keeps the rythm in check.
its COLD out...stupid feburary lol...so im being relitivly lazy again, got some dishes to do and litterboxes to scoop but otherwise nothing going on.

in cool news the evil parrotlets have decied to work on the box...theyve been at it for days and we have 5 eggs currently and we should see the first one hats on the 28th if they are fertile *fingers crossed* they should be ready to start going home the 2nd week of april
assuming we get a good hatch rate, they might just have earnt their keep lol.

ducks are still 1 per day-ing...*rols eyes* lazy ducks)
was going to set up the incubator and do a test hatch but now i think im just going to use my easter hatch as the "test hatch" since they wernt layingearly enough...if i set now ill have babies mid march, if i wait till the beginnignof march ill hve easter babies...i think easter babies have more chance to sell qucikly (since i dont have any real brooder set up going...)
the bunnies are stil not co-operating though.

otherwise nothing going on.

I'm still trying to figure out lunch and dinner I've laid out several things from the freezer. No idea what to do with them.

I got the pup fed and wormed. I got some eggs cooking for devilled eggs. I started to make bread, then realized i have no oil because I used the last of it to make mayo and ranch for my neighbor. I got the chicks fed and watered in the brooder.

Sometime today I have to run to the flea market to get my cage and drop the neighbors cages off, and the other neighbors net.

It's colder than a polar bears butt out there, and I don't want to do any of it, especially since it requires getting dressed in something besides PJ's...*sigh* It's just one of those days for me too.

Don't know about how cold that is, but up here, it's cold enough to freeze the nose off a brass monkey!

seriously annoyed right now...had to spend the entire day at a frineds house to play transport while they got their breaks done...
come home and my greenhouse is once again no longe a greenhouse...
the garlic, green onion and carrot boxes survived, everything else seems to be in a pile of mess on the ground again...

i damned well QUIT, im not starting any more seeds this year in the greenhouse...simple, lost all my dwarf heirloom tomatoes i dont think ive got any of those seeds left, and many of my others that i was so graciously and kindly sent.
the frame was pinned down nd is currently mostly instact, but the plasic was pulled off (seems to be in one peice but i wont know untilli can get it back on to check...) and all the pots just blown off the shelves into a pile of dirt all over the ground...

so yeah, aparently mother nature is telling me "screw you lady" and that im not supposed to start a garden this year.
im so done right now. gott go through my seeds and see what ive got left but whatevers left of the heirloom types is getting sved until next year when i have my hoop house built.
*sigh*

Sorry pinky...I will bring you some tomato plants when I come get those guineas if I don't forget them.

That sucks, Pinky

 

[pinkfox]

thanks guys...
i think in terms fo seed starting ill just direct plnt some this year, nd hopefully by fall ill hve an actual hoop house built thats not goingtocome apart every time stiff sinde gets it just right...
im trying to think of wys to mke this little one more sturdy...i didnt tie down the plastic this time nd its a good job i didnt becaue the wind pulled the over up and off but the frme styed pretty intact, (unfortunatly that doesnt lep the seed pots tht just got blown all abouts the place) but i think if i can make the frame sturdier it might work a little better... and then put it in the most sheltered spot i can find to boot lol...i thought it was pretty sheltered where it was but aparently not enough.....
i mean its windy today...but not THAT windy...

We have gotten some pretty good gusts this afternoon. I was driving in it, and it was blowing my truck all over the road at one point.

Three steps forward and two steps back...that sucks Pink. Hope you have a better day!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Or is it two steps forward and three steps back? I never get that right!
