What's everybody doing today?

[Amish Heart]

Oh yeah, the dead stuff is the best. Petrified frog remnants.

 

[Weedygarden]

I need to make some more freezer meals for days like this. I could cook when we get home but I don't like eating late.

Yes, I eat several a week. Today was cheesy cauliflower soup that I made recently.

Could you share more info in the garden thread about that hedge. I have a dream of creating one of those on the South edge of my back field. @ThePrincess wants a hedge we can eat.

Ben

Some one gave my B I L a pint of large Blackberries.
He was potting up a few grafted fruit trees & planted some of the berries & three or four plants came up in each cup he had planted a berry & he pulled them & repotted them.
Then more came up in the first pots, he sold like a hundred, he had 15 left over & ask me to take them because no one were buying them.
They have not bear yet, I have no ideal what I will get, because all are hybridized for many years.
But I am hopeful.

 

[joel]

Just stop by after work tomorrow

Wife has made four loaf this month.

 

[Weedygarden]

Then we had lunch I made and watched a Wagon Train. Favorite cousin loved it.

Does she have a television at home? Or does she watch much television?

 

[Weedygarden]

Trying some behavior modification with the pup. The new collar...the beep doesn't bother him, but he does not like the vibrate function. So this can be good. The guineas were out in the rain, like they normal do, gamebirds don't care at all about the rain. Pup was out and got one of them...too wet to fly, almost killed it. So this can come in handy.

For many dogs, but certainly not all, the beep is all they need to get their attention.

 

[Weedygarden]

Splitting firewood, unloading hay, then I'm going to look at a grain drill that's for sale.

My uncle used to have a drill for planting grain. It is kind of a strange term for it, don't you think?

 

[Amish Heart]

Does she have a television at home? Or does she watch much television?

Nope she's Old Order Amish. She's ok to watch at someone elses house, but not own a tv. And of course, not to watch anything inappropriate. It was a show about a young guy about to be married lost his arm when his wagon went over a cliff. It killed his mom, too. The girl didn't want to marry him because his dream was to farm land in California that they had bought. She liked it. No radios or tv normally, but they sing alot. Always a church song going on. We talked about her coming over and having lunch and watching a show for awhile. It was a special event. Tv trays and everything.

 

[Amish Heart]

For many dogs, but certainly not all, the beep is all they need to get their attention.

He's not yet caring about the beep. Vibrate seems to do it. Makes him stop and look. Then sit. Enough to get his attention. Then I tell him he's a good boy. He was biting husband's shin when he was in the recliner, and no wasn't working. Vibrate worked.

Wonder what Pups do for FUN...?!?

If you are ever bored or feeling lonely, find an active dog park to go hang out in for a while. There you will usually find lots of dogs who are having fun, running, chasing, tug of war, fetching balls, wrestling. You might find retired people who go and hang out with their friends at a particular time each day. You will certainly find other people there. Some will be playing with their dogs. Some will be on their phones and some will be visiting with others. Even if you do not have a dog you can go. I have seen people come with their older children (have to be over 12 to go into dog parks) so that they can get some dog time, but not have a dog to take care of at home. They are social places, communities. I know people in their 80's who go to dog parks. It is an excuse to get off of the couch, out of the house, and to be where something fun is happening. Is it 100% perfect? No, but what is?

 

[Amish Heart]

Boy I think we had enough rain yesterday. It was good to see after not having rain for a long while. Outside chores till lunch. Plan to drop off stuff for husband at the lab this afternoon, then fill a cart at Aldi. Maybe drop in to Dollar Tree while I'm in the bigger town. We'll be eating pizzas and watching a scary movie and eating lots of candy with Levi and little granddaughter this evening. Tomorrow is no school for them, so they can stay up late and sugar up.

 

[Tommyice]

Slept late. Slept good last night. Sitting with my coffee watching the lake wake up.

 

[Amish Heart]

Hope you have a great time there with your dad, Tommyice

 

[sonya123]

went on our little shopping trip yesterday, went ok, got 4 very expensive Trojan batteries, and loaded up the little Traverse at Sams. That only cost me $91 since I had a bunch of credit on my card ( I get points for using my Sams credit card )
No vehicle problems either. Did eat some junk, got a box of Danish there and had 2....one would have been plenty

Husband is testing the new panels and something is not working already. THere is voltage coming out of them, but the ( old) batteries are not charging up . We put it on the old panels that were previously working to see if today they will charge up the batteries. It's been sunny out so that should not be the problem.

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

[Pearl]

Just stop by after work tomorrow

Ok, I'll stay through Christmas

 

[Pearl]

Storms came through last night, FINALLY some rain and a stop to those horrible south winds!! Just going to work today! Plenty to do inside and outside later!!

 

[Tommyice]

Hope you have a great time there with your dad, Tommyice

I’m sure will. It’s not a relax totally trip since we’re closing it up for winter. Doctor told him he can’t lift and carry so I’m sure he’ll have a great time telling me what to do. lol.wished I had packed lighter clothes—it’s going to be 70 here today

 

[joel]

Ordered fruit trees

 

[Patchouli]

My boss texted me to tell me to have a safe trip. Woke me up! I thought it was Monday. I Said my flight was tomorrow, realized it’s today, pedaled backwards. Ugh.

Well then, get your butt in gear and have a great time!!

 

[Patchouli]

I’m sleepy!! But I do have a few things to do before I go. Vote early. Wait. Should I vote early?
Go to store to pick up small size travel items. Eye doctor to pay for new order. Couple other things…

 

[LadyLocust]

Have read my morning message and got Hubby off to work. Need to tackle a couple things here in the house before heading to work myself then have to find a fish shaped cookie cutter so I can make 4 doz cookies for FIL’s 90th birthday party.
Not sure what else is on the docket for today. It’s still dark as night out there so can’t claim “burnin daylight.”

 

[Snowman]

What to Do Today...?!?

 

[Hooch]

It's raining, I left work last night about 20 minutes early and just got home right as the first sprinkles were commin down. Windy too.
Not much besides eventually get ready for work.

 

[joel]

Storm ️ fail a large oak on daughter fence, so we will be patching it, until insurance check comes in.

 

[Spikedriver]

Slept like a rock last night. Apparently I was snoring because I woke up to Ruby the Lab licking my face, and GF was out on the couch. Stopped at Menard's and got an assortment of washers to try and fasten up the heat shield under my RAV4. I'm at home relaxing now. Gotta go back to GF's at 5 for a retirement party for her coworker.

I found out that I got the position I wanted at work. However my current boss can hold me in my present position for a week and a half. So I'll have to drive 425 miles to North Platte, work 6 days, come home Sunday, and then report to my new gig in Des Moines on Tuesday for 8 straight days. That is going to suck, but it'll make for a nice check...

 

[Amish Heart]

Not much in storm damage here except for some tarps from the runs that are down. No big limbs this time, just small stuff. Animals done. Rowdy only got vibrated twice out there today, and both times he would stop and come sit by where I was standing. That was pretty good. Sour Cream bread in. Ready to shower up, finish the housework and lunch and go do the shopping in the bigger town and to the lab.

 

[Bacpacker]

Dr visit at the heart failure clinic this afternoon

 

[Tirediron]

Coffee, realizing I might have started another make things better domino effect with the firewood system "improvements". but in the end the extra set of stuff will be really handy. A n improved 3 point fast hitch (not a monkey copy IHCs system) and a "turn table" tractor end of long log moving

 

[Amish Heart]

I've just been thinking about loading up the open trailer and backing it in the garage nearest the house so I don't have that far to walk, and it'll be dry, too. Our racks are on the big porch and are loaded, but I'll have to reload them at some point. We'll see. Or just load the Ranger side by side and park that in that garage instead of the further one.
