braunschweiger sandwich. hot sauce to give it a little zing.

sometimes graphite powder is a much better lubricant.

i try to explain it to Mom that she's making fizzy salt water but she won't believe me, same with what she does with bleach, it's better to use bleach alone in water than to mix it with soap, but she thinks the bleach now doesn't work as well as it used to (even if it is more concentrated) -...

i would miss the internet if we didn't have power that long but the phone i can pretty much do without for a while at a time. wood stove smoke and ashes are a real trouble for both of us. propane fireplace covers heat, light and cooking during power outages and no moving parts at all other...

when i get overscheduled there's times where i just want to sprawl out and read a book or do nothing at all but look at some clouds if they are out there... :)

it was pretty hot too soon today but i did finish weeding the one garden. some of my time is spent finding and squishing Japanese Beetles... it may not ever get rid of all of them but i do find it satisfying enough. i'm glad i stopped when i did as just the walk back up the slight hill to get...

yesterday got too hot to finish what i was hoping to get done. i went out for a 2nd shift and there was a nice breeze but it was still too hot and my legs were done so i only got two more rows weeded then called it a day. when i went out i saw a small rabbit inside the fence so that explains...

haha! because you can... :)

got today's goal accomplished, i've not hauled that many buckets of weeds to the weed pile in a long long time. it's embarrassing to me but i'm glad to have it done and i won't have all those billions of purslane seeds falling on that garden. three more to go inside the fence and there's a...

plenty of more weeding today. went out to work on the garden i'm in and of course spent half an hour just weeding pathways that needed some care and then also trying to get some Virginia Creeper out of some lavender and ... so eventually got to the garden and filled up two buckets of weeds and...

i think the count was around 75. crazy times and good to see everyone but could not talk to everyone i hoped to.

and for breakfast a few minutes ago. :)

lasagna, crecent rolls, salad. good company.

i don't understand about not liking onions, we eat a lot of onions here, people we cook for have often commented that we use too many and some people have requested that we don't use any. i picked some green onions the other day and Mom used some of them in the chow mein she was making but...

@Mini Horses have you ever made pickled eggs?

poison ivy sure can be sneaky and nasty if you don't even know you've been exposed to it, but even if you've knowingly gotten into it and taken precautions you can still mess up. i have a few spots on my wrist where i somehow missed scrubbing off the oils or it was on a shirt sleeve and i...

more rain today, did not get outside before that arrived as we needed to do a family reunion gathering. good to see everyone. drove home in heavy rain and i think most of it missed us here, but i'm not sure since after we got home we both zonked out for a few hour nap.

i see no goats or sheep in that picture...

when hungry enough picky eaters may end up trying some things and liking them. for myself we were not able to be too picky as we were poor enough that if you didn't eat what was put in front of you you probably either went hungry or it was waiting for you for breakfast. i'm glad that i was...

small can opener (check), but now for new pull tab cans i need a small hammer and some pliers for when the pull tab comes off before the mission is accomplished. it has only happened once so far (and not when camping as i've not been camping in quite a long time).
