Just checking in here.
Health is still
Nuff said
All my seedlings bit the dust. I am trying again, just to figure things out. Got them to germinate quite quickly. Now they are in the greenhouse
DH got 2 days off, so he tried to do 2 weeks worth of 'honey do's' and managed to get nothing done
I felt so bad - he tried. Everything he started, was missing parts to finish/short of what we thought & planned for/ brought about new issues that needed fixing :/ Poor guy.
Did find out he's been cooking meat behind my back! He decided to throw a pork loin on the grill Sunday and invited his parents over to eat. I was worried - I am the grill master of the house because, sweet as he is, DH can turn even the best chunk of meat into shoe leather
Man, that was sooooo good
Come to find out, he had been 'experimenting' with different methods while he was away. Sneaky man!
Ended up going to a local greenhouse and replacing my seedlings for the main crop. Was very excited to see she had mortgage lifters there!
The woman who runs the place is full of info, and she won't put anything out for sale until she's tested it in her own garden. She said the lifters are VERY good, so I'm excited to get them in the ground! The past two nights have been high 30's/low 40's, so it looks like tomorrow will be my first opportunity to get them in the ground. Out of all the seedlings I started, the only ones I couldn't replace from her greenhouse were pak choi and Heinz ketchup tomatoes. That's not too bad. Also got a great deal on two plum trees. Barring me deciding that I have to have cherries, my orchard is complete
Went visiting for a bit on Saturday night, when my phone rang. I have horrid signal, so I was shocked it rang at all, as it showed no bars. It was DS#2. He was hysterical - saying he cut himself and couldn't stop the bleeding!! Immediately after that, my phone lost signal. Two seconds later, DH was in a flat out run to the truck, with my fat backside trying to keep up! Got home, ran inside, and I almost fainted! It looked like a murder scene!!
DS was sitting in my chair, with a towel wrapped around his foot. DH, always the calm one in these situations, gently unwrapped the towel, to find that DS had cut his foot just behind the pinky toe, and also sliced back the skin a good ways down the foot.
You know how you see something gross, and you don't want the person to freak out, so you try to play it off as nothing? Well, I guess I'm not so good at that, because DS saw my face and started freaking out
'Seen it All' hubby just calmly gathered up the first aid stuff, cleaned the wound, and wrapped it up. I was thinking we should take him to the ER, but DH said it was shallow and didn't need stitches, so they couldn't do anything more than we could. So, to stop making DS panic, I set about cleaning the mess! There was blood on the kitchen floor, all over the living room carpet, all down the hall, on the bathroom floor, and even on the bathroom walls! It seems that, while filling up the dogs water, DS spilled some, then slipped in it, and caught his foot on a sharp piece of metal under the dishwasher. He grabbed a towel, hobbled to the bathroom, sat on the edge of the tub and stuck his foot under the water to clean it off. When it kept bleeding, he wrapped a clean towel around his foot, and walked out to the living room to call me. Pretty smart for a 12 year old! Last night, as we changed his bandage, it had already scabbed over and was healing! Seems hubby missed his calling
It also seems that I suck in high stress situations.
Just a thought...
you must post pics soon 
Which reminds me, I really need to call and complain about that
