Granny's gone and done it again

[BigBlueHen53]

Hi Blue. I'm getting ready to sign off

Ok, Wishing. A good night to you! ❤

Morning Granny. I've been up for hours. Very smokey in the house and I have been breathing through a wet wash cloth and shopping for air purifiers since dark-thirty.
At least it has cooled down quite a bit and there's moisture in the air. Almost 90 inside last night, so no way we could keep it closed up. I am waiting for the perfect breeze to clear out the house and close it back up.

What's on your agenda today?

Ooh, hack hack! I would have to evac on account of the smoke! Take care, Wishing!

I think you'd get more use out of it as a grocery hauler than for fire wood.

This is page 27113 and it's as far as I'm gonna get tonight. Full day and I am daid. Good night, thread!

Yes! What a relief. And we have it opened now to cool down. There is still tons of smoke, but but for now it is very high up.
It flooded the entire valley this afternoon, could barely see the hills. I finished watering and came in as quick as I could... then took a little nap. Had been awake since 3am.


My brother had one of these when we were kids. Put peanuts in his hat, a cup on his tray, turn the crank and voila! Fresh peanut butter! yummy...

Wonder if we still have it somewhere. Probably. I come from a long line pack rats!


Haha! That would be the only way to keep a single goat. They don't do well alone. I can't see Robert sharing his bed with one, though!


It's ALWAYS spellcheck's fault!

When we were getting ready to move from TN to FL I had sold all the goats but one buck. We had a German Shepherd, and she and the goat became great pals and played together a lot.

Camping, Robert said stain wont keep on terracotta. Try dipping it in some blackberry juice from fresh berries ?

That’s what I meant. Guess I should’ve said dye instead of stain.

Morning all, Hope every one is sleeping in like I wish I was.

This was taken from Mugsey's pond. You could look at the sun directly... perfect orange circle..

This is about a half mile from home. It's all smoke!

From the same spot. Can you see the sun?

Very ominous. Heard on the news just now that 4 people have died from the fire that caused all that smoke.

What a beautiful place, I can see why you love it there.

I didn't sleep in late, but did get a solid night's sleep.. YAY!

Cleaned out Henri and Sweetpea's coop. Also changed out the shavings and added some dried good smelling grass on top. Sweetpea was watching me the whole time, wondering what I was doing.. Also managed to get the barrel on a better tilt so water wouldn't run in from the open end.
Sure has settled down in Bruiser and crew's coop. Ya really think me hollering at him had some effect? Milly and Molly actually get to eat from their feed pan without being harrassed by Bruiser or Maggy now. Something that puzzles me is Molly loves to be next to Charlie. He lays next to the netting with Henrietta, and Molly will lay right next to them on the other side of the netting. I would put her in there with them, but Henrietta is not so keen on the other hens being around her mate.

I do love foggy mornings, but have to wait for the grass in the lawn (sodded areas next to the house) to dry out so I can mow with the actual mower and bagger. Trying to keep the mulching down so the roots can spread.
