No Pictures.......... lol

 I know.

I'm a terrible blogger.

But I'm BUSY!!!!!

(hahahaha)

It's been ..... a week.

Tuesday - aborted piggy trip. (And 2 new tires.)

Wednesday, 2 more new tires and teach.

Thursday - SUCCESSFUL (10 hour) piggy trip.

They are ADORABLE (and no, I can't put a

banana for scale - they're PIGS, they'd eat it!)

(And they are SUPER skittish so they just run away.)

Friday - teach a double.

Saturday - teach the Louisiana class AND go to the

season ender stock car races.

It was a BLAST.

Sunday - teach the Louisiana class.

Monday - teach my LAST DOUBLE (yea!!!!!)

I had planned to run to the farm between classes,

but Rod had to take the car into Hays for a church

member's funeral... and I didn't feel like driving

the Trooper. So I didn't.

(hahahahaha)

Oh hey! A picture!

Do you remember LAST September, when I 

was doing ridiculous amounts of dill pickles?

(26 quarts....)

They've been sitting on the shelf in my office.

I look at them EVERY DAY.

They're no good.

They "false" sealed.

Probably 50% of them.

Kyle opened a jar one day and the lid didn't

give that nice satisfying pop,

and they were mushy and kind of cloudy....

so I looked them over and....

today I dumped the juice down the sink and

the pickles in the trash.

And then I washed all the jars.

It's a bummer, but it's just pickles.

Not like its a big loss...

(And I just picked a bunch more cucumbers,

so I might try again, I bought WAAAAAAY 

better lids this year... I've had 100% success

with the seals this time.)

Anyhow.

Then a lady came by to get some freeze dried

corn and carrots and okra as a snack to munch

on for her trip to Colorado this weekend.

(She was sad we didn't go to the farmer's

market on Saturday --- see above.)

And then,

I taught again tonight.

WHEW!

Tomorrow I WAS going to run to Hays with Kyle

in the morning to do the weekly shopping and

then head to the farm to try to process half the chickens

we have left to butcher.

But it's going to be raining.

And SIXTY SIX DEGREES!!!!

Nope.

(It's going back to the 80's on Wed.)

So I'll butcher on Wed and maybe Thursday.

We have the missionaries coming for dinner

Thursday night.

But I don't want to be butchering in the mud.

And the cold.

(And it's MESSY, I don't want to get blood et al

on my winter stuff...)

So yeah.

It's been busy.

But I promise I'll get you updated pictures of the

pastures Kyle and Rod have been finishing.

And the adorable piglets.

(Kyle said I can't name them.

HA! Watch me!)

(We don't have any issues eating things with names.)

ie: Sirloin. Moon Pie. Charlie & Jake

(named after a BBQ place in Melbourne... lol.)

And, of course, my rabbits, Bob, his main squeeze Ethel

and Gertrude and Mabel, his "girls on the side" and their

many many many offspring.

Farming.

Ok.

Dinner is ready.

Have a great night!

(Just re-read this... wow. That was random.

Guess my brain is tired.)
