Okay, so today at work was rough. I was put into a position that forced me to give a couple of orders that I would have rather not had to give, but did. Since the changes didn't hurt anyone and was suppose to help things go more smoothly, I was hoping for the best. Unfortunately that didn't work out. I ended up having to swap people around because the load was too much for some. I'm working on the news letter, I'm sure that some will just be thrilled! Policies need to be followed for the one millionth time, so these are some of the things we are going to start addressing. I also have some fun ideas to do with it. Then after work, I went out to the farm, and the goats had knocked over the milk, I'm SOOOO FUSTRATED. While there is a machine that does most of the work, I usually made sure that I got any extra by hand milking, this way there might be a little bit extra milk and relief for the goats. So this is fustrating. Then one of the billy goats head butted Smiley and nearly knocked him over. Smiley was just walking past them and they he turned, I'm sure that he thought Smiley was going to eat his hay, but HEY, that's my kid (and I don't mean a goat kid!) Duck threatened to make him dinner a bit sooner if he tried to hurt the baby again. We found a chicken multilated, then the other chickens were eating it. Gross! Both rabbits needed water, the female let me pet her for quite a while. Flora looked really really bad tonight, her eyes were weaping so bad that it was dripping off of her face. They were gooey and gross. I felt so sorry for her. She doesn't look well at all.
On a better note today, we pulled on of the tomato plants today, it wasn't steaked up and the tomatoes were rotten. We threw it into the compost pile. I also collected all the red cherry and regular tomatoes. Oh my goodness, I filled, over flowing, three 2.5 gallon buckets. Now I need to wash and blanch them so I can peel and can them. I also got some more peppers, one green, one purple and one yellow. I sprayed the pumpkins, they have potato bugs all over them. On final count after Sunshine pulled a green one we have 15 orange nearly ready pumpkins. I think I'll pull one Mon to see if it is ready. The earlier you pull them the less seeds you have. I can can them and use them for pumpkin fluff for my WW receipe. I hope to get at least 20 or 30 more gallons of tomatoes, we'll see what happens. I do have a bunch that are red, but not quite ready to pick. I also planted pole snap beans and Mon I will plant Spinach and romain since the weather is nice it should grow well. I also pulled my potatoes, I think I only got about 10 or so, some big some little. I also only got one onion. Lessons for next year. Well I need to get my Watchtower Study done, the tomatoes done, dishes done and some laundry ran. Duck is working hard in the garage so I will have a bit of time with the munchkins alone. I'm really excited I'm off on Monday, it feels like it has been a month since I've had a day off.
On a funny note, since I scare easily, I screamed bloody murder at my neighbor today. I had my back turned towards the kids so that I could see what they were doing and she came up from behind and spoke ever so softly, I'm sure that I made a few neighbors over their curtains to see what the crazy lady was screaming about. I apologized of course, and we began to talk for a bit. It was good to see her. Our husbands talk often, but he husband had surgery about 2 months ago and we haven't seen him at all. I'm going to try to make a bunch of bread on Monday since I have lots who want some. I'm even going to try a batch with Splenda instead of Sugar.
Recently we bought 2 BIG containers of Applesauce at a local wholesaler. I have plans for the metal containers. I always heard that you could keep one of those with holes poked in it, candles and a plate to put it on in your car. That way if you ever get stuck without heat you can heat your car. So why can't we use the same idea to heat a certain room? I'm going to look for a fire shield to put it on of course.
Well I need to scoot, I have things to do!
Me.
