This and That

A lot has happened in the last few days.  Lots.  So much I need a getaway to clear my head, but that's not happening until later this month.  I got our camping trip booked.  In fact I booked two camping trips.  A third is being looked into as well. 

Friday, Hubby went up to the Big City to get all the title work and license stuff done.  All their computers were down.  Drat!  We have a lot that needs done too.  Gah!  Found out the next day the computers were not really down.  They just said that due to an employee having the virus.  Via a good source, we found this out, and we were told they didn't want to cause panic (hence saying the computers were down).

We have been getting a good amount of rain.  So thankful for that.

I brought in another 3.4# of green/wax beans, 4 bell peppers, 3 cucumbers, and some zucchini.  The zucchini is larger than I'd like, but it's getting grated up for freezing.  

The coop is here.  It took a lot of friends and family to load, trailer it and unload it.  Now we try and squeeze time in to hook up the electric, tweek it a bit, and get it painted.  It will be moved where those trees are behind it.  That's another job - getting rid of the trees that are around a cement slab that was put in years before we moved here for a chicken coop.

My remaining hens are all shook up right now, so I've been trying not to drop their food too fast, as it scares them.   Oh, the coon got my rooster now too.  

I asked before, but what can I used up Kamut flakes with?  Besides granola.  Any ideas would be very helpful.

Exhausted

I woke up emotionally exhausted this morning.  Yesterday was the service and celebration of life, followed by a private dinner.  We stayed with the family until late and I think I went to bed at almost midnight.  Unheard of.

It was the hardest day of our lives.  Youngest was given the strength to get up in front of everyone and share her story.  She also shared a song her boyfriend sent her when she was having a hard time and played that.

Youngest's boyfriend was the hardest working young adult I have ever met.  He was so kind and positive and always willing to help when needed.  He will be missed.

Not sure how we'll get through the day today.  Thank you all for you kind words, prayers, good thoughts and mojo.  It's been a rough, rough time lately.
