Worked on the dumpie bike this morning, after her little incident a few weeks back and watered the yard. We def need some rain.

lilacs a bloomin and the berries

what a pretty site to see and smell.


the berries

Homemade pizza and mexican beer

After a long day in Babylon I came on home and the kids wanted to make pizza for supper. Pizza dough, Mozzarella, Pepperoni, Peppers, onions and the like. SO needless to say we didnt eat until it was staged and ready about 8-830, Heartburn for the night..
But tasty along with a corona or 2.
Anyhow I moved the maters outside today for another round of hardening off.. Its working. Hopefully the cold front days will end soon SO they can stay out all the time

Humpday

hahahaha.
The sky is blue. the wind has died down. I was out in the garden last night giving a drink to the little seedlings as we are expecting some rain. Tomorrow.
Anyhow the berries are beginning to adjust to their new home and the tomatos like the sunshine in little spurts.

HAve a good Hump Day

the census boy came a calling

Well, Trash had his run in with the census boy yesterday. As I was leaving the stead for a stroll over to Wallie, census boy caught up to me. Asked if I lived at the house I came out of. Yup. And as per the constitution there are 2 of us there. He said he might have to report us as refusals (refuseniks). I reminded him that I was not refusing, and that I was only giving him what was COnstitutionally required.. It aint noones dam biz who is there, their identifiers, or what I do. I am sure it is already on records somewhere in their vast databases of info..
Anyhow got up early this morning to tend to the gardening chores.. I sure hope we get some rain. I hate using cistern water (rain and snow melt) this early. I placed a few of the homemade ollas in the soil this last weekend and they appear to be working. They all needed a top off. I think this would also be a great way to add nutrient food (compost tea) as needed.
Anyhow gotta head to Babylon.

Sunday remembrance

bfast
bagels and cream cheese, honey buns and coffee
lunch- apple and peanut butter sandie, water

I spent the day in the garden and at the Wallie. I started the first homestead berry patch as well as tended to the lettuces and radishes (I went on a mulching project.

All in all a nice end to the weekend

Saturday meandering

I spent most of the day yesterday in the yard getting things done. I repaired the bike trailer and snacked on a few sprigs of collard and chives from the garden. In my walk over to Safie I picked up a 2 pound tub of trail mix from the dumpie as well as a few pieces of fruit. I shared the trail mix with the kids ans the fruit went to the birds Good stuff.
I have two window boxes with lettuces coming up as well as the radishes poking thru and standing tall/ Unfortunately the freeze on Friday night looks like it took a toll on the tater plants. We will see if they recover.
Anyhow I was reading on the blogs about animal smells in the house and the census workers invading our privacy. First off animals smell. Dogs cats parrots iguanas all have a smell. You accept that when you adopt them. Benadryl works forthe allergies as do extremem exposure.
For years growing up I was allergic to cats. Having Benadryl helped but it wasn't until I built up immunity to it that the cat allergy went away. Thank goodness as we have several, mostly strays and adopted at the stead.
As for the census worker who paid a visit while I was napping he didnt come back.. No loss as I was going to have fun with him//
