For many reasons.  First, I have to work on Monday…and next Saturday to make up two of those damn snow days.  Today, I relaxed, did lots of laundry, and reclined on the back deck with a good book. I am becoming good at sorbet.  I am a sorbet miester.  My fresh strawberry was fantastic. Today [...]

Intrigued?  Oh you should be.
The chickens have decided that the six huge eggs are just too much for one hen, so two are down sharing them. They divided them up and now sit side by side on three eggs each. Today when I tried to take a picture, one of them jumped out of the [...]

They guy who wanted to barter for our old chicken tractor finally came by yesterday.  In exchange for the coop, he pulled two rocks up the hill, and he dug two post holes. In hind sight, I think we were on the losing end of the deal, but they were things we really wanted done.

A kid told me my assignment was bullshit yesterday. She is out for two days. And, it was not bullshit; it was just that I did not let her hand it in [...]

Odd weather.  Sunny most of the day, and then it rains and sometimes hails. Then it is sunny again.  This has been the pattern for days and days.  It did not stop me from having a good weekend, though.
I took time to read a good book, clean, and make ice cream (which was mighty good [...]

Only once before, and I think it was in the fall, we got three eggs. We have three hens of laying age, so we should get three eggs a day, but sometimes we only get one. Sometimes we get none.  They will be rewarded. I am making rice right now. We are having black beans [...]

Oh, Happy Mothers’ Day to all you mothers.  Today, just after 8AM, the people showed up to take away the hot tub. It looked like this:

This is what is left of it:

It is a mess, but we are happy to have it, considering it means the tub is gone.  It was too heavy,so they decided [...]

It is just so pretty outside that I am forced to take picture after picture. We glued the KnoKnutz back window, and we are hoping it keeps. If not, we will have to find someone to glue itfr. We glued and then taped.

Sun coming up through the trees.

I met someone from Saskatchewan, Canada on a [...]
