I have heard that if you eat a lot of garlic (lots and lots of garlic) it will keep them away.

I love making jam, but we just don't seem to eat very much of it anymore. I miss the kids when I think of jam. The last batch of orange marmalade is my favorite right now. But it's been years since I have made any jam. I might try blackberries this year. I just have figure out when they will get ripe this year.

We made mulberry a few weeks ago.... I should have brought you some; we've got too much.

Hey!

I'm doing okay, aside from the fact that I'm impersonating a polar bear.

Though the broody virus has been spreading through my flock and me no like that, either. Miss Penny has gone broody TWICE this year now. Seriously. She hatched out si babies, raised 'em, took a break for two weeks, then got on the nest again. And Ella is taking her turn, too. Buff Orps, I can't live with 'em, I can't live without 'em.

I'll bet you twenty bucks it's already eighty degrees at home and it's two hours earlier there.

Hey if you are in town, you need to come and see me and all the nasty little rabid dogs. I have to meet up with my DMiL tomorrow at noon, but otherwise I am home most of the time.

Will do. But only if Teddy raises his right paw and promises to let me keep all my limbs. I need it in writing.

And yes, I'm also in WA for Christmas, and Rebeckah will be here then, too.

I have never had Mulberry jam before.

I would love to try some. So maybe next time you come back, you could bring me some.

I'll do that.

Though I'm not sure it was mulberry.... It may have been mixed berry. Down at the local Amish community they were selling these big buckets (I don't remember how much they held, but they were about the size of lamb milk replacer buckets) of berry puree and we grabbed a couple... I know there was black raspberry. We've been putting it in homemade ice cream and it's pretty

Well I will have check in to getting Teddy to sign something for you. It is even more fun around here. Not only does the group still gang up on poor old Jacky, but Spot and Dot will sometimes get into fights with each other. It all stop though when I start beating them with the newspaper. We also have been putting the aggressors into time out. They end up in the crate for 20 minutes. It's like have a pack of toddlers around. I am working with the Aussie rescue to place Jacky into a better home, with fewer dogs. I just have to many right now.

Ah, the joys of sibling rivalry.

But I'll bet Spot starts it... Brothers are evil like that.

Now us big sisters, well.... We're just plain angelic.

Poor Jack.

Though he'll probably be better off without Chips using him for a chew toy.

The black raspberry sounds really good too. I haven't had that kind either. I got a few red raspberries this year, but I ate them as they ripened. I didn't even share any with DH. I did share a few of the peas with him, but I hogged most of them too.

I felt like the little red hen this year.

Well as far as I can tell my angelic and dearest Dot starts a lot of things around here. She is quite the brat when she wants to be. But I have seen Spot start things too. He is still awful small, and not quite as smart as Dot.
