Its been a while since I've posted in my journal but really didn't have much to post. The garden is almost finished up an I've been pulling plants that have no reason to stay so I can get the beds ready for fall planting. I need to go back to Perry an get another load of manure next week so I can finish the prep work on them. I sowed 3 trays of fall veggies so I can transplant them when they are ready. Been busy canning an since going back to work it has been a struggle some days dealing with the pain an not being able to take pain meds. But thats another story!

I noticed the photos are all gone, whats up with that? That was very time consuming to load them an write all the captions. I hope this is temporary an we don't have to reload them. I may have to rethink how bad I want them in the album if I have to reload.

A friend of mine gave me 6 bantums chicken on Tuesday, they are so cute. But I didn't want 2 roosters, but with them being free what could I say? I am down to 16 of the previous ones I had ordered which were a total of 23 to start with. I would go out there an find 1 dead for no reason at all. The chicken world can be a crazy one thats for sure.

We have been getting nice showers here anywhere from daily to every other day, which has been so nice not to have to water daily. But man has it been hot an humid. After about noon its so muggy its hard to stay outside. Ok, gotta get ready for work. trudy
