Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

TO that was a story worth telling to your grandchildren some day. Very cute! No there weren't any treats involved it was their turn to bring them. THEY never bring any! Ingrates! But yes it usually involves a treat for them, and a beer for me. Did it to get closer to them now you can't go outside or get out of a vehicle and their looking for a handout. Bob always likes to sit at the picinic table with me. I know I've told this story before but when him and I first moved in here he was about 1 or so and we had lived in a small appartment with the only linoleom being in the tiny kitchen. When we got here of course he had explore his new domain. I was unpacking in the other room and heard his feet moving at a high rate of speed yet making no progress I turned and looked in the kitchen just in time to see him sliding across the kitchen floor all 4 legs locked like Tom Cruise in that movie. I swear he was grinning! Then he would come in the livingroom and get a run at it on the carpet and do it again. He was in heaven! He did it 3-4 times and I was laughing and egging him on. I have tears running down my face just remembering that. Man it was funny! He's my boy! He has given me that someone is looking at you feeling too back in my whiskey days. He'd wake me up by standing on my chest and touching me nose with his. Freaked me out many times. Again I think he was grinning. He's a dink! But I have no one to blame but myself. H&R it's always a serious meeting until I break out laughing at them. Gotta love em! I'm feeling sorry for Peatwo, Btwo is constantly nagging at him. There is no doubt where that egg came from. But it's the cutest softest peep peep peep and then trying to get closer. Man it's going to break my heart if something ever happens to them. When I make cin/raisn bread always end up with a pan of rolls too.

Well we just finished grating up the zucchini-DS(8) peeled as that was easiest for him, DD grated the whole time and I washed, cut, grated and packed and DS(5) was supervisor

. We ended up with 40 bags- 2 cups each and they are now in the freezer-they will be used throughout the year to make zucchini bread

A loaf(make that 2) never lasts long in our house!

Both dogs have been trying to mooch food all day especailly if it is good smelling! In fact the Irish Setter of ours will take items off the counter if you turn your back for a second-she's gotten bold since we had to put down the old guy. Our little foster will be leaving us probably within the next couple of weeks-she is going to be fostered by the person who runs the rescue as she is having problems with DH-growling at him everytime he enters the room-some days are better than others. As well as she is doing with the rest of us we need to do what is best for her, DD has become attached to her and wasn't to happy to hear this.

Guess I should move onto the next project-grass needs cutting and we have a bit of sun out now.

Hope your bread and rolls turn out yummy-DrH.

Good luck with the baby and keep us posted!
 
Dr. H I think I was destined to deliver on the hottest days of the year with my kids. The middle DD was born on a day when the heat index was over 115..............

The other two summer babies were both born on days in the 90's......

Going to get my pickles soaking tonight to I can start making some tomorrow. Tomato plants are loaded with fruit but nobody is getting ripe yet. The beets look good and the carrots are just starting to get some heft to them. My in laws stopped in yesterday to let us know the cabbages are ready to be picked so the Kraut making is going to start soon!

The ducks and hilarious as always..... I am so happy we have them to brighten our days. They are always so chipper you can't help but laugh at their antics!
 
Heating my garden tomato soup for dinner tonight. Added cheese ravioli to it 'cause dd HAD to have them. I just tasted one and man are they bland! Guess I will be stirring some pesto into my soup as well. I am so tired I could seriously take a nap! I want to can up the rest of the soup but there is only 2 quarts or so....maybe I will make another double batch tomorrow and then I will have a full load to can...sure have enough tomatoes to do it!

Man, it doesnt get any better than this! The soup mentioned above WITH the basil pesto stirred in, pickles, dilly beans and a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato....MMMMM! The only thing that might make it better is some of DrH's home made bread!

Got home from the dog park today and there was a bag on my porch....ZUCCHINI!!! Yeah! Thanks for the offer Cheryl...but this should hold me over until mine are ready...then maybe YOU will want more?

Gotta use two hands with my sammy...cheese leaking everywhere! T

Would surely bring bread to go with your soup! OOO that'd be good! L has homemade pizza ready for the oven went out to get the onion for it off the picnic table and it was gone. No sign of it anywhere bad naughty chickens! Can't believe they'd mess with an onion. Bad naughty chickens! Cooler tomorrow might actually go fishin. That'd be weird! Have a great evening!

Oh my Gosh! I took forever to read up with you guys. You guys are a bunch of chatty hens and roos! BL4 who is having the baby? I hope it's Amyable. Anniarie- If you need a test home for those cochins that your hatching for fertility let me know, I might have some room for them.

Oh and sorry about the duckies. That's sad.
Hello to all that are new. Everyone sounds so busy canning. Glad I don't have to do that in this heat. Terri- I wondered about you yesterday with the weather. They said possible torando in your area, but I see you guys are ok. Well my mom sitting is due this weekend, hopefully all will go well. Hope I get some color this time, my last hatch was all black. Been busy doing homework, it's the end of a semester and always a rush to get it all finished. Spent 5 hours doing it today alone. My brain hurts. Well go to go do chores. Take care all!
 
Good Morning everyone! Nice and cool out so the windows are open think they will be all week. Annarie sorry to hear about your egg! Weird that momma would pick on her hatchling. BL4 if it's Amyable I was thinking she wasn't due till next month but I'm often wrong. Just hope that whoever it was that things are OK. Buster was waiting for me again. We did our morning thing. Got 4 eggs yesterday and one already this morning hope the girls are getting back on track. One hen on the nest too. Got 4 more qts of dills yesterday. If they turn out people will be getting dill pickles for xmas. TO the selves are nearly full and I still have carrots to do. BCC those peppers are firming up nicely! Didn't think it was supposed to rain until tomorrow but we had a storm blow through this morning. Only a about a 1/4 inch in the gauge. Buster is trying to crow I've been trying to teach him. He can hear Donny's roo crowing down the road. This morning is his first attempt it's pathetic!

Becky hope your momma comes through for you! NO canning today! Tried to smell the hens breaths this AM to see who the thief was but no one would let me near probably a good thing. Enjoy the weather!!!
