The last couple weeks have been blurry. We all took turns being sick-me the longest. So, I had very little energy or motivation to do more than what was absolutely necessary. We got quite a bit of rain the last few days-lots of thunderstorms & lightning, too. We got a lot of cleaning done because we got rid of all our junky old living room furniture. It's so much easier cleaning an empty room! The kids all helped and did a great job. Here's the 2 girls washing posts and kneebraces. That changing table to the left is now totally empty and soon to be given back to the person who lent it to me-yeah!! We listened to fun music while doing it. Here's Jonah cleaning by the kitchen above the dog food bowls.
We got a brand new living room furniture set and now it is SO nice to be in the living room! This is the first time we've ever gotten new furniture. My dh finally found a local place to buy a 5 cow headlock set. He's going to install it in the pasture and we'll feed the beefers after they get their heads in it to get them used to it. This is just so we can do little things like spray them with bug spray or treat pink eye, etc. Right now anytime we want to do anything at all to them, we have to shoot them with a tranquilizer gun. Thankfully, they rarely have anything illnesses or problems. They will come up to us and eat out of our hands, they'll let the kids touch them for a minute or so, but to DO anything to them, it's impossible. Last year when treating the mamma for mastitis, we had to tranquilize her 3 days in a row before doing her treatment. Ugh. So, hopefully this will work out well! My dh is in a fishing tournament this weekend. I'm expecting a lot of salmon. Last month when he went he brought home over 200 lbs of it. None of the other guys on his team wanted the fish because they didn't want to clean it. Can you believe it??? We shared a lot and we froze the rest. I recently found out from a friend how to can salmon, so I'm going to try that. I'm very excited about this and hope it turns out well! Today I have a lot of work to do in the garden. I've got peppers ready and zucchini, too! The strawberries are all done. Can anyone share what they do with their patch when it's done producing? I read to cut it down and mulch it. I'm thinking of transplanting the best looking plants to a new bed and getting rid of the old bed. It's overrun and moldy under the plants. I've got 3 books and I've done online research, but all the advice is different and confusing and I'm not sure what to do!! I also need to mow the lawn. Hannah needs to get sawdust in the horse shed today. Jonah needs to clean out the chicken waterers really good. Here's a pic of Susanna enjoying cleaning with her spray bottle of water. It is now in her hands frequently. If you stand still, you get cleaned:
LOL!! That dog is Freya and she is such a patient and loving girl. Piper is in the background and he already got washed and is drying in the sun. HeeHee. I guess that's a good update on what we're up to. Better get crackin on the day! I recently read on the back of a "One hour in the morning is worth two in the afternoon." |
