Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Beautiful cool morning everyone! BL4 Many times I have wished to sleep in. 4:45 today. Think it runs in the family Dad used to be this way too. Have had sleep issues in the past. Sometimes up at 2 or 3 and the more tired I got the worse it was. I don't mind getting up at 5 I get a lot more done and really enjoy the early mornings. TO will sit down and try and find that spider I've looked before without success. Glad to hear your roo showed up. Amyable that's a great growth rate! Possible future Packer I think. Glad to hear all is well and you'll be able to enjoy your garden. Bigz I too would interested in some of those seeds if you have enough extra. But don't give them away if you need them. I left 2 plants in the garden to see if I could get some out of them. I gotta say 50 quarts! Holy Cow Patties!!!!! I see there was another reminder on the news of what most of us are doing is the right way. Now it's a beef recall. BFF's wife works at Copps and she said there are no eggs on the shelf even the supposed organic ones are gone. Guess people are buying whatever they can get their hands on. Gonna start squeezing the girls. Sent the better part of a doz home with him. Will give him some more today I have to take his pressure canner back. I'm done with carrots!

Put up 8 pints and more than that in the freezer. Want to see which one we like better canned or frozen. When Peatwo hatched L put put a cat toy in with him to keep him company. It chirps when moved. Btwo keeps setting it off thus the 4:45 wake up call. Once or twice is one thing but she just kept doing it. We have no doubt who her mother is. And when you go look she stands there and looks at you like, what?

Think WC is being a very busy boy.

We tried to warn him! Gonna finally finish cleaning up the mess in the yard this morning then heading out back to clean up a road I made a few years ago now that the blade is done. It's a tractor day!

Good morning, should be a nice day outside today-will be working on finishing painting-working on the bathrooms today-really only big enough for 1 person and a small ladder

On a sad note the little Welsummer chick that looked like it had the hick-ups late yesterday didn't make it-it was one of the little boys, hopfully DD doesn't take it to hard. The others seem to be just fine-eating drinking and making a mess!

Out to do chores this am! Enjoy the day.
 
H&R so sorry about the baby....

The Fair has arrived...... and all the carnies with it. I have this love/hate relationship with the fair. I love going to see everything but hate the noise and all the weirdos running all over town at all hours of the night.

BigZ, I'll PM you...

No tomatoes are ripe yet, lots of fruit but it is all green yet. Have to find a source for cabbage, mine all rotted out at the in-laws. The carrots are just starting to get bigger, but they are slow. I think the beets are just about ready.

Off to have coffee at the local hangout. Later!
 
Morning all! I hear ya about Carnies BL4! THey certainly can be kinda scary...BTW DrH...I have it on good authority that the name is "Cellar Spider." What a great name for one that hangs out in the basement heh?

I get to pick up my new glasses today...cant wait to be able to see with no scratches! I slept poorly last night too. Laid semi awake for 2 hours then read my book from 3 to 5. Got good sleep then until 7...guess I will hit the hay early tonight.
I bought some malt powder for the kids yesterday at P&S and it expired 6-10! Man, you would think that a big store would rotate their stock and get the expired stuff off the shelf. Glad dd noticed it before we opened it so I dont have any hassles. It is probably just fine to eat but I bought the largest size and we dont go through it very fast! We like it on ice cream!
Well, I have to see if I can get on our AT&T account and order myself a new phone...now the screen is blank. It is time!
Have a great and productive day! Terri O
 
Got more than I had planned to get done all day already! So I'm taking the camera out to the back road that I tried to clear of blackberry brambles and a bucket for berries. The BFF told me he got stuck in them last deer season and didn't think he was going to able to get out. I laughed till I saw where he was. The tractor couldn't push them anymore. Have to move some small downfalls that are hangin me up from making it all the way back. Ya gotta see this!

I had about 20 eggs in the last two hatches I did this year, and I was planning on growing them all out, keeping a few, and selling the rest in pairs....but I only got 5 live ducklings out of those eggs. They all pipped internally, but never hatched.

So, I'm left with 3 girls and 4 boys total from this year that I didn't sell as ducklings. I'm holding back the girls and one of the boys for myself. I'll have LOTS of ducklings from them in the spring though...I can't to see what colors pop out next year - I know about 25% of them will be White, which I have no interest in keeping, so I'll have lots of solid White Runners.

Just finished typing up my 11-year-old sister's essay for the "Pullet Surprise Youth" contest at the Wisconsin International Poultry Show in Portage next month, and I had my grandpa run it to the post office. Entries had to be post-marked by today, so we just made it! She did a really nice job - she chose the topic "Raising Poultry - It's a Family Affair", so she wrote a lot of nice things about me. I already found one stupid type-o I made while I was typing it for her though (it's already off in the mail, I printed a copy for us to keep), so I hope I didn't hurt her chances at all! She's a great writer.

Ok, just came in for a sec after weeding one of my flower beds in the front.... and I am not finished with the darn thing either! It got me thinking though; how have all the plants I handed out fared? Did everyone get what they asked for? I would have hated to have sent somebody home with Black Eyed Susans instead of Purple Cone Flowers......

Gotta grabe a bite to eat then back out there to tame the jungle! Maybe the skeeter population will go down if I remove some of that heavy cover.....

Had already gotten through the worst of it. The brambles were 2 feet over my head. Didn't get as many berries as I hoped. TO Will check out the cellar spider and that's what a tractor is supposed to be all about, less hurting yourself. No scratches on your glasses. That would change everything! Ouch on the lack of sleep. Always made me mad to fall asleep just before the alarm went off! Hope things are better tonight for ya. H&R sorry about the chick too and for your DD! Lunch then?
 
anyone interested in a dewlap African gander, one of the 4h kids I know has one the landlord says has to go, he (the gander) is raiding the farm market stand (sweet corn)
