Farm Logo and Other Farm Occurrences


Last night my son finished his drawing of our new farm logo.  It was a gift to me.  






He typically draws me something for Mother's Day, and this year, it was Mazda.  Now, I just need to have it framed.  

~Other Farm Occurrences~
 
The raccoon made another appearance last night.  I did not hear back from the wildlife professionals, so we set a trap.  If we catch it, I guess I will have to call animal control to send someone to pick it up.  

Although days are long here this planting season, I am slowly getting it all planted.  Between watering, planting, and yard work, I do have to let house work go most days.  I am just too tired to finish it.

Yesterday, I did get cucumbers, two types of squash, and some flower seeds planted, and watered it all.  I still have more seeds to plant - radishes, pok choi, swiss chard, and kale.  

I managed to get zucchini muffins and a nice dinner made as well.  On top of all that work, my 16 year-old still needs about 10 hours of driving before she can take her driver's test.  So...every day after school, we run a few errands, and try to squeeze that into my day too.  Not much crocheting is getting done these days.

One last note:

While playing around with the computer chair after dinner (I was spinning around like a kid would), my 19 year-old said, "ugh Mom, you better not do that, or you will fall back and hit your head and then we'll have to go the ER and then I'll have to explain it to your husband."

Just minutes after I walked outside later, I see my son and 16 year-old walking from the goat/chicken barn.  My daughter was holding her head, and my son said, "uh, Mom I think we need some gauze or something."

She had been chasing Rue, one of her goats, spraying him down with fly spray, when she smacked her head into a part of the barn.  Luckily, she did not need a visit to the ER but there was a lot of blood, and a very bad head ache from it.

Your son is such a talented artist!
I would love to have art work like this in my home...oh wait! I do. I have paintings that my kids have done in the past. I also have some that my hubby's grandmother painted.
I hope your son sticks with it...who knows? that drawing could be worth tons in the future...

Glad your daughter didn't require an ER visit.

Love the drawing that your son made you!! (I'm a 4th generation kitchen-rooster collector!)... Hope your daughter is feeling better today, and good luck catching that raccoon! I'm not entirely sure I'd be getting ANY gardening done if I knew he was still out there somewhere, so I'm in great awe of your bravery! (0; Have a great day, and an even better weekend! ~tina

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
