Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[ocap]

Good morning friends.

I think I am going to need several espressos to get me thru this day. Started out early because it was too hot and muggy to sleep in for me our the chooks. Hubby slept in a bit which was just fine by me, good hubby. He finally crawled out and plopped on the couch in front of the fan where I was able to give him a huge hug and "I love you" and tell him a huge "Happy 20th Anniversary"! I spent most of my adult life as a single mom (married and divorced very young) with no intent of ever re-marrying when this knight in shining armor rode into my life. Funny how you can not even know you need rescuing until you are

Then, I no sooner started for a fresh cuppa when the phone rings. It is the wife of hubby's brother. With a quick apology for calling so early, she asked to speak with Pa (never a good sign). The brain tumor has returned for my sweety's brother and it's bigger than before.

He's on meds to try and shrink it and they meet with the neurosurgeon on Thursday to set the date for the next surgery. Your prayers for him and my sweety would be greatly appreciated.

I think I need to go outside and get a little chicken therapy now.

Knife? Were we talking about processing knives? I like any super sharp one (I prefer at least two very sharp knives per bird) kind doesn't matter two much, but I do really like the skinning knife that has a hole for your finger.

Marvelous pictures today!

So sorry. Always a great burden. I will pray too.


I have cut down to one cup of coffee a day...

I am NOT sure it has been a good idea!!

When I process chickens I have a 10 inch chefs knife and a sharp paring knife. I sharpen them between uses and steel them during processing.

When I go to my Mom's place for Thanks Giving I bring my knives with me. I just hate dull knives.

BAD idea! For me that would mean an instant migraine.

We are picking up our hive soon, so I have honeybees on the brain.

Me too. The kids know to leave my knives alone. If they really want to cut something they still reach for one of my favorites. When I grew up it was a big thing when a boy got his first pocket knife. Knives are special to me and I still carry a pocket knife.

I love Tupelo!
Okefenokee swamp honey!

I love Pogo. My favorite Pogo quote is "We have met the enemy and he is us"

We use to have honeybees but they died of unknown causes....

The current thought is that the poison coating on seeds for planting is the main cause of colony decline in bees. The poison floats in the air and remains in the plant. The flowers of the plant will poison the bees too.
