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

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 . . .
