Well, I got all the cabbage picked yesterday. It was quite disappointing, i waited as long as I could for the heads to get big but if I waited longer they would have rotted. But I am thankful for what I have, the chickens are happy with all the big tough outer leaves, hahah
Today I need to reset the soaker hoses, use the hand plow to clean up the area, dig up some red fingerling potatoes that came up from last years missed roots. Feed the tomato plants, kale, beets, go down and pick squash, water the blue berry and elder berry plants and check on the apples. Water the lavender beds, I dont want to deal with the compost today,,,,,, AND thats just the outside chores,
I'll set some beef out to thaw for dinner, feed the sour dough. I want at least 8 quarts of spiced red cabbage to can so I'll need at least 3 more so I am going to have to buy them.

Maybe I'll skip gardening and go to my favorite market????????????
Lets go get more coffee

I so hope we dont get any more fires,
Rain would be good, but the forecast really doesn't mean we will actually get any

Heavy rains overnight last night, on and off storms the next 24 hours. Cats were not happy with the thunder boomers.

And a small magnitude 2.3 earthquake north of here near Lake Erie this morning.

We had unscheduled rain again last night. Not a lot but it wet everything down pretty well.

Wacky Wednesday - true story

I was missing a kitty (fuzzy) when I went to feed them yesterday afternoon. Boots was all over me, I think he was lonely.

So this afternoon my daughter in law called farmbabe and said are you missing a kitty? Yep we are missing a kitty, she sent a picture and yep it was fuzzy.

My wife left yesterday morning, went to the water dept to pay the water bill. stopped at dollar general, went to my daughter in laws and then came home. Only thing we can figure is fuzzy should be named hitch hiker. But I'm pretty sure fuzzy got up on top the spare tire and took a scenic 15 mile or so ride through the country side. To get some grand daughter loving.

Why fuzzy didn't get off at the water department or dollar general but decided to get down at my daughter in laws is something only fuzzy knows for sure

My daughter in law and grand daughters brought him back to the farm just a little bit ago. But only after loving on him A LOT (I have videos to prove it). Of course my granddaughters wanted to keep him. But they can see paw paw's kitties whenever they come for visit. He came back home well fed with a new cat toy that they stopped at dollar general to get for him

Both kitties were happy to see each other again. They are hanging out together under the BBQ grill again.

Fuzzy on the way back to the farm. it's a tough life, I tell you...

Wacky Wednesdays are wacky. It takes a day or two to un-wack the wackness.

P.S. There's a 1 in 7 (14.29%) chance that every week, will have have a wacky wednesday.

P.S.S. There's more to the wacky wednesday kitty story. But I don't have time to type it right now.
