[ohiofarmgirl]

whoot! next week baby!

are you totally gonna run around waving the check!?! hee hee hee (you know i would ha!)

my pal in seattle said she turned on the heat in her house yesterday. TBM and i just stared blankly. ohmigosh. lets check the heat index.... ah... yep over 100*

hopefully your august and sept will be beautiful - and hey at least you can grow some greens??? or other cool season stuff? do you know about Ed Hume seeds? you can probably get them locally at home depot/lowes. he has short season varieties.

i'm gonna start eating a lot of salads or my lettuce is just gonna bolt.

hope you're having a great day!

I do have some seeds ready to plant soon and an area all ready too. I actually still have some lettuce growing, it isn't that hot here so spring crops are doing awesome still, and they didn't sprout for me because of the cold temps, so we are kinda still having spring. Weird.

Re the SSI, they just zap to your account so I won't have a piece of paper to take a picture of and frame with the caption See Your Government Really Did Give You Something For All That Money You Invested.

I'm actually one who believes they are gonna keep printing those checks, they just may not be worth much.

I was icky sick with vertigo last night, but I woke up hearing good (for me). I've been sitting here at the computer all morning with music blasting. I think I woke up Trouble but he didn't say anything. It is so nice to hear my songs. The tone is real tinny but I can actually distinguish the pitch right now, the words and the different voices even. Listening to one of my favorite songs right now (Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac). I tend to get weepy, glad Hubby isn't home. I love music so much, it is so hard to have it come and go, but when it is here, I appreciate it. It is for days like these that I won't have that surgery. I keep wishing it would just stay good one of these times. I have family coming to visit Sunday (actually at my brother's house, but he lives about an hour from here) and I get to meet a great niece that I've never been able to before, she has always lived too far away. She is visiting her grandma (my sister) all by herself because she is a big-girl now, and I've always just followed her pictures and seen them talk about her on Facebook, she seems like a real little character and the spittin' image of her mother, who is my favorite niece. They all live in the Phoenix area so we don't get to see them much anymore.

Ah, now it has moved on to Jackson Browne, one of my other favorites. I could think of nothing but his song Before the Deluge while watching the news about the Japanese nuclear disaster.

I got started with that Cheryl Crow song, though, Soak up the Sun: I love the lyrics to that one.

I'm ignoring the animals today, it is raining outside anyway. I got the windows open and the animals are learning all about Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, Nicolette Larson, Kelly Clarkson and The Eagles. I played Amazing Grace three two different ways for my friends who have died recently (Carrie Underwoods version and Lee Ann Rhimes...) wow.....I love hearing those people sing.

I like to sing too, but don't sing well anymore. Trouble probably thinks I'm nuts, I'm in here singing and dancing at the top of my lungs. I'll have to play a Sublime song just for him I guess. I love their version of Rivers of Babylon.

Just played Carrie Underwood's National Anthem, Holy cow, music is so wonderful I wanna cry.

I hope any one reading this takes a moment to appreciate their hearing, listen to a song for me...

I am so happy for you to be able to hear some music today. You have good taste in song selection. I just recently met one of my great nieces for the first time. She's only three, and cute as button. She ended up getting a crush on me, and tried to give me all her food when we went out to dinner. It was a little annoying having slobber covered fries shoved in my face, but she meant well.

Glad you had a nice musical day! I had the computer cranked up singing karaoke the other night. I sing it loud and proud! My family ran me out of the room they were in so I sang all by myself!! Makes me so HAPPY! :bun

you have great taste in music. I'm so glad you got to enjoy it today!!

Well I already can't hear well again, that was short lived. Oh well, better than nothing.

I have two days of housecleaning I want to accomplish, and then Sunday we are visiting with family, and Monday some friends are coming up to visit (same ones that came last month, bless their hearts). So that is a pretty exciting week for me. We won't be able to stay long at the family get together unfortunately, because of milking time, so that is kind of a bummer, but such is life with goats. I'm going to try to switch their time to a little later but don't want to push it. Molly seems so FULL on the one side again all the time, I don't quite understand it.

We finally have a "summery" forecast......I'm still wearing a sweater though.....

My dog Deirdre has developed a new habit of wanting to eat chicken droppings constantly. Does anyone else have this problem? I find it totally disgusting but can't go around scooping every chicken turd. But I'm wondering what parasites she might pick up this way. Does anyone else's dog do this?

All dogs do that. At least they do not lay eggs. Cause I would never eat them

As to the milking times, I hate being tied to the goats apron strings as well.
One thing that helps us, is I have my chore schedule set at 9am and 9pm.
Makes the social life a bit easier for us.

Nine PM? Gosh, that seems so late. Maybe I should try that though. I am milking more like 7:00 and 7:00, but I often milk a little early in the evening.

Our one dog is really getting hooked on the chicken poo thing, she keeps asking to go outside and then just doing that. It just seems excessive.
