Thanksgiving Break


"Honey?  Remember I told you I felt the driver's side was lower than the passenger's?"

When one car gets fixed, another breaks down.  Hubby is lucky to get his truck back home.  I can't remember the part he had to replace, but he (and my son) got it completely fixed by nightfall. Yay!


While they fixed the truck, I spent a few hours cutting up nylon netting for dish scrubbies. The kids are finding things to keep themselves busy too, including a game they played at Thanksgiving (with their cousins).  Get this.  It's a game with styrofoam cups.  They simply swat it back at forth, while everyone sits on the floor.  That makes Christmas shopping easy - a bag of cups. Ha ha ha ha! I have to give them credit.  It did not involve electronics. Ha ha!

Although Hubby is taking today off to watch the Ohio State/Michigan game, he's working on other home projects.  One that involves my utility room and lack of storage for my appliances.  You know.....sauce maker, dehydrator, canning jars, canning pot, etc.  Plus, I am moving some of my craft supplies in there to re-organize my bedroom closet (which is our "safe room" for tornado weather).  And the "utility" room is already the "storage" room for the coats, sweeper, mop, brooms, rags, pet food, goat supplies, extra chicken and goat feed.....get my drift?  It's the last room, the only room, to store these items in.  It's just got to get figured out, and soon.

I hate it when one of our cars break down. Glad it hear it was nothing really bad.

Hi -
Wondering what the chicken is sitting in. Looks like a dryer inside, not that I'd find that unusual. We had one that refused to sit anywhere but in a dresser drawer of an old dresser we were trying to knock apart to burn in the backyard. Every time we took her out, she ran right back to it, so we finally put it in the hen house and just gave it to her. She used it til she died. Sweet old thing!
God bless.

She is actually sitting in a metal roost that we picked up for $25.00 (and old one that holds about 12 roosts for the chickens. It hangs up on the wall, and has wooded steps for them to exit either level.

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 . . .
