Toilet Tank Tim ~ Farm and Family Updates

I had to laugh when I saw Tim.  He was sleeping in the toilet tank outside.  We called him "Toilet Tank Tim" as he slept here most of the day.


Later in the day, hubby did get the bathroom finished, and the toilet was back inside.  My son put the trim back in.  We could not find the same flooring, so the old flooring (nicks and all) went back in.  We don't have cash to buy all new flooring.  The toilet did not have to be replaced thankfully.  


The ladies were confused when I fed them their sprouted beans.  However, when I dumped some directly on the driveway, they devoured them.  I think they don't like eating out of a pie pan.

I'm still painting kitchen cupboards.  I hope to have it finished prior to holiday cooking.

Woot-woo! glad you got your 2nd bathroom going again. Just throw a rug over the floor for now. Don't forget to pick it up every now and again to dry the floor underneath. You might try polyurethane over any nics and scratches too. Just offering.
As to the chickies...that is funny. I put some scraps in a plastic microwave pan (from a leftover TV dinner) and they wouldn't touch it. Made them scared; once I turned it out on the ground...they scarfed it up!
silly chickens.

Looking good! You are such a self-sufficient group! I really admire all of you! I wish you lived next door as I could use an extra hand now and then! LOL!
I'm old but all my neighbors are in worse shape than me and some are younger! LOL!
I'm in the same boat. I need and want new floors but can't afford it but I hate the carpeting so much I'm thinking of ripping it up and just painting the plywood underneath....that's how much I dislike carpeting. I like everything washable without having to drag out a machine! Or rent one.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
