31 May 2026 Jut like that tomorrow is June.

I meant to put a new blog post up more 2 weeks ago. You see how that went.  We have had off and on rain which is good but we haven't been able to plant anything but potato's a couple of weeks ago.

We also had a visitor 2 weeks ago. It was we believe just a yearling. The chickens didn't pay it any attention at all.


Dh got the front right tire on the riding lawn mower inflated again. There was something in the garden area he thinks that did a number on it.

I have been sewing and of all things my laptop has been acting up. Tells me I have corrupted zip files. A grandson sent something to see if we can fix it and we will be looking at the tomorrow. It keeps crashing.

We also have summer guests out in our pastures. Just 8, 3 cows, 1 bull and 4 calves.

The neighbors cattle came over in investigate the the new arrivals across the fence. Watched for a bit and then dispersed.

Our lilac bushes, tulips and the apple tree finally bloomed.


Dh weather proofed the roof of the chicken coop as well.

Just like that tomorrow is June.

Take care everyone.

New Year and boy am I Behind

 Man alive, I do get behind don't I?

Middle of April 2026 already. Spring is here mostly. A few nights of 30 deg. F. and normal for the 3ed week next week rain/snow.

We have working to get many things done as spring brings lots of work. Dh has already boarded over the holes in the wood pecker holes in the well house and 2 ground level holes where red diggers chewed above the concrete and into the well house.

He is painting  the well house today and bought the stuff to go over the chicken coop roof as it has sprung a couple of leaks.

We straightened up the garage and washed all the dirty canning jars. The last batch of around 100 are drying, waiting to be boxed up.

The fence lines have been walked and only a couple of problems spied to be fixed. The upper gate looks like someone messed with it and will need some fixing. It was fine 6 weeks ago.

I ground up quite a bit of dried older beans, stored and otherwise into bean flour to add as a thickener. I found a grinder for my mixer at a 2ed hand store. I did a 1st grind to smaller bits then to a more of a flour.



I did manage to get my new book up on Amazon in Kindle, audio will be up at any time. For the paperback I am having sign in problems gads. So it will wait until that is figured out. Kindle; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWW1399M

Back to work.
