@DenimDeb, if you've never met a group of fire ants you don't want to. their sting does indeed feel like fire and it always makes blisters on me and then take forever to heal. they bite you to hang on while stinging you. and will get on new born animals and can sting them to death. i hate the little boogers but i can't bring myself to put poisons where the green house is going to be.
had family in over the weekend and all i can say is thank God and greyhound they're gone. all the drama just exhausts me. it is really hard to love someone and not like them at all.
on lighter news i went to pick up some canning jars from an add on craigslist and she told me they were combining things from her house and her mothers house it sell and would i be interested in looking? indeed i would and did. ended up buying a really nice small wood that they have had for over 25 years and have never used. much better made than the one i had been look at and is small enough not to take up the whole living room but big enough to heat my whole house and i only paid $65.00 for it. less than a third of what they wanted for a new one, yea!!!!!. also bought a swing set for my back yard. all metal and low enough for my short legs. i love it and am going to put it facing the pond so i can watch the ducks play and enjoy the view.
all of the goats are bred and mellowing out, sheep are doing great, chickens are laying great guns and the steer ran away from home. he's been gone for a week and i have walked the world over and haven't found him. I've started calling the neighbors and asking them to keep an eye open for him. sure hope he shows up somewhere. don't have a clue how or where he got out but am going to keep looking.
you all have a blessed day
