Granny's gone and done it again

Today felt like soup day so I made two pots. Vegetable beef/hamburger for DH and Pennsylvania Dutch chicken rivvle soup for me.

Went out to take care of the chickens and see if the rat I've been fighting for about a week had dug any more tunnels under the concrete pad under the coop. Haven't had any field rats show up for at least 3 years now have one digging caverns everywhere. I've been stuffing bait down tunnels and blocking them up. Danged thing is either getting fat on the bait or storing it up for winter.

Then went to the barn to grab some straw for the nesting box and managed to trip over some firewood and do a header into the tractor bucket. You don't realize how hard steel is until you make contact with it head first. Skinned up a shin, cut my hand and gave myself a headache. I imagine I'll be a sore old lady in the morning. I'm just glad I didn't split my scalp open and gladder still that I didn't break something important....like my skull.

Soup turned out delicious which was a good consolation, though. It's chilly enough here that soup and chili are going to be high in demand around here.

I'm glad you are alright!

Thanks, me too. Probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had an armload of straw and could see where I was going and not just plowing my way through per usual.

@Granny Hatchet congrats on 30 years. DH and I have 2 more years to go to reach our 20th. We'll be celebrating 20 years together next year though.

Granny you get to 30 years 6 days before we get to 60 years. She's getting a box of chocolate covered cherries.

Goodnight Granny Land. Tired out. Worked hard today (with help too from the man that helped me the most building coops). Going to get this woodworking shop setup yet.

Congratulations!!! It takes work to get to 30 years! Best wishes on your special day! I'm assuming it takes work to get to 87 years as well ... Or does it just come by itself?

Well, IDK. I just ain't that old yet! hahaaa

Good Lord, the page number

I've been waiting for that all week and I missed it!

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I guess I missed everyone. Sweet dreams all

Isn't that the way it goes.
Supposed to rain all weekend. 80% chance both days. Went 32 or 33 days without rain until just a decent shower a couple of nights ago so we can use it.

Good night

 

[Granny Hatchet]

They changed trick or treating here because it was supposed to rain. We barely got a sprinkle

Good night
