Wegot, I think the dishwasher light was still on when you left this morning. I noticed that once as I was going out the door, and when I got home, the whole first floor was flooded. Sure hope that doesn't happen to you...

It won't. I'm not allowed to touch the dishwasher. DH thinks I load it wrong and I encourage such attitudes. If I could only get him to feel that way about the washer and dryer....

Gardens are good. I've subjected myself to watering them b/c here in CT the rain has been absent. My Zucc's and Squash are just about all done along with my Cukes. I'm getting big crops of tomato's now along with swiss chard, carrots, beets, and cabbage. So sad to see the squashies all drying up and wilting away b/c they are done...

My tomatoes are boycotting due to the heat. Watering doesn't help. Have mulched them heavily in hopes that by keeping their little toes cool they will be happier.

My zuchinis are baby plants, and will barely have enough time to put in a good crop before they catch a chill. Needed to plant something to discourage the weeds. Am hoping the late planting means the squash borers won't find my vines...​

I don't iron. I lack sufficient coordination to only iron the clothes and not my fingers...
The curling iron I use to 'iron' collars has an automatic shut-off because DH is paranoid.

Even the lights are off.

The bator was at a perfect 101 when I left, and if the power goes out the garage stays at 80-90 right now anyway. The coop & runs are locked.

But keep trying Buffy. It's so cute!!

It's the fluff on top. They have about as much sense as a blonde in the rain (Buffy's not listening, is she?).

Polish are the same way.

Ha ha ha ha ha... [wiping eyes] Whew, you really had me there for a moment.

Yeah. I took the black d'clays out to that bed yesterday and let them play in it. I'm trying to teach them to attack bugs. So far all they've learned is hiding under zuchini leaves.




OH! I forgot to tell you!!!
DH found my notes about bringing back eggs from Europe. he very smugly, inan 'Aha!' voice, told me I couldn't due to the quarantine. So I showed him the part about some European countries being exempt (including the ones we're visiting). And then I rhapsodized about all the lovely stock I could bring back with me.
He muttered, "You already got too darn many chickens."
I laughed and laughed....

Silkie lovers will tell you they are smart, but our silkie is pretty dang dumb. We still love her, but it gets old having to do everything for her. She can even see so its not the crest getting in her eyes making her slow, she's just simple....

Yeah gotta love old guy gams... he has now assured me that he was only attracted to the cheap real-estate but there are too many hurricanes and he isnt for that since he cant swim.

My tomatoes are in overdrive! The squash have too many leaves so #1 the flowers arent getting pollinated, and #2 with the extra rain this year the stalks are molding apart. I hate those pokeys on squash stems, but have been braving them to thin the stupid leaves (think, the size of a childs umbrella) so I can get more than ONE crooknecked squash. Maybe I should get my goat hoof trimmers out and turn them into pruning shears since we got rid of the goats (DH becomes angry in an amusing, but slightly alarming way, at the mere mention of goats) after they ate my garden last year then proceeded to try to hang themselves on the shildproof leashes I put them on.

Spotted a 13pt buck with double crop tines the other day. DH is thinking of taking up archery just to ensure that no one gets that buck before him. A week of hiking around with a rifle on my back is enough for me, he can have his archery.

I'm not blonde. My haircutter says my hair color is "Dirty Dirty Blonde". I guess one "dirty" wasn't enough to describe the mousiness.

You're REALLY sure about that?...

Actually no, I'm not sure.
I'll worry about it later.




You wanna know what really worries me? The egg-covered postal box I'm hiding in my car. Several eggs broke in transit to me, and so I couldn't hide the box in any of the usual places. I'll bet my car smells really good later today.
