star of yesterdays blog: baby conner



SO now we have two days to get ready for the bee club annual picnic at our house. I kept suggesting we move it to another place but no one ever listens to m!. Our yard and house are so far from par! Had a load of mulch delivered yesterday hoping we have time  to use it to cover all the weeds. I hired a neighbor boy to come tomarrow and help out. Was it how many years ago I remember doing this before Rachel's wedding.............and five years ago doing it before James's wedding........ The other day my Manly Man went to drop something of at our son's house and came home with a lovely gutter system for the goat barn. He had it all laid out on the lawn getting ready to install it (on his last day off til the picnic!), I merely suggested he put it aside until after the picnic and work on the MANY projects that need to be done before!! He listened to me!!.

The reason they wanted to have the picnic here was because there is going to be a bee beard contest, which is not allowed in a public place. A good rush for anyone brave enough . Should I call the local news station?

    Lady Magnon has been fussing about our unfinished building project looking so awful, but in fact people don't mind. They're coming for a good time; NOT to inspect your weeds. I'm sure you'll have nothing but compliments. Happy picnicing!

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
