Whew ! Officially worn out....

We finally have gotten into gear on our garden and today we planted three rows of English Peas and 5 rows of potatoes. Yesterday we planted 81 strawberry plants! Yikes, I hope I can get out of bed in the morning...LOL...I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I still have beets, carrots, lettuce and swiss chard to plant this week...We have already planted a few onion, cabbage and broccoli...
well, til next time..

An "Almost catastophe'"

This morning as I was trying to down my first cup of coffee, Mike came in from outside with some wood and told me that the chick house door was open all nite! Evidently , the girls had fed them and some how didn't get the latch quite shut.They were lucky as the chicks were all present (all 71) . It's a miracle with all of the cats we have.
These chicks are 4-H projects that the girls will show in the fair this year, then will sell eggs or pullets. This is the second year that they have done this and it is amazing how much money they make off of eggs ! So all's well that ends well....
until next time...

Food for thought....

I was driving home from the Dr with one of the kids last Friday and I was cruising along just listening to the radio when an announcement from the Justice Dept came on the radio. It was talking about the dangers of home invasions and how to possibly avoid them ect... they suggested different methods to protect your self from intruders, things like alarms, bars on windows, not opening the doors...and then at the end said perhaps getting a dog....
Well, I am wondering at that moment in my car, like where the heck have I been that it is now so dangerous to live here that our government is now telling us how to protect ourselves over the radio...I really at that moment felt like I was in another country. It really didn't feel good to me at all. I, in the past possibly could have been a little paranoid about that type of thing but now feel justified ! After all our government is now paranoid for us ...YIKES...and I live in the middle of no where. So, all you people who live in the city , look out for your broadcast it may be like Orson Wells " End of the World".
Also, same trip, same station they talked about the three earth quakes that occured just south of me near Conway Arkansas. They were mild but a week before that there had been two other ones...Now I have lived here for 10 yrs and not heard of any quakes so what the heck is going on? Well, I looked it up on a site for world wide earth quake activity...Pretty interesting , we were on there twice pretty recently. I can tell you where not to live or visit, that is Chili they have activity all the time.
I just wanted to give folks some food for thought. Surely I am not the only one wondering what the heck is going on.
PS- we (Arkansas) have our own earthquake center...go figure...
til next time...
