Well, we had a amazing saturday, up early and did house and critter chores and then we headed off to the farmers market, where we walked around, took notes on prices (yikes) and left empty handed.. The local lamb lady didn’t even have her prices up anymore, I guess to encourage folks to come in to talk to her raither then to see them and walk on by.
The selection of things was good but the quality was certainly down and the prices up, I was surprised to see that it made little to no difference near as I could tell to the buying public, the rest of the folks where happily handing over their hard earned cash.
Then off to the feed store, where I got a new toy that lets you clip a regular bottle to your backpack or jeans, we typically have our metal bottles but nice to have the choice for when we are rotating out our bottled water stocks, it was on the sale table for a dollar.. love it!
At that point we went shopping at the big old walmart, I love shopping with DH, we went in, got what we needed (all of three things) and got out in under ten min, now that is the way to do it!
On the way home, I saw Farmer T who I had not seen since I got home, so gave a wave, and laughed as she stopped in the middle of the road to come give me a warm welcome home hug and a reminder to start coming over to go riding again, guess the bridge is fixed so we can take the main trail again, they are up to about 4 hour rides at this point, that’s going to make me sore for sure but looking forward to it.
Home on the farm, the rest of the day was a trimming, and hauling day, we spent four to six hours (I did the four, and then came in to do house, chores, and supper) trimming out smaller and in some cases not so small tree’s in the yard, pasture and tree area, we want to build a second large hugelbeet that will be ready for next spring, just in case we have the same dry and heat next year, so we now have enough taken down to do a 40 foot base of both bigger and smaller wood for the hugelbeet.
We did make piles in the different area’s but next we will need to sod out the area that we want to put the new one in, and then i am going to lime the subsoil before putting down the tree trucks and brush pile.
O ya and Dh broke the ax handle, good thing you can get replacements for them..
I made a meatza pizza for supper, and as I expected DH loved it, me not so much, considering my favorite “pizza” is ham and pinnaple and DH is meat lovers loaded, this was not a surprise really.. however, a small amount with a large side salad is not bad..
We were listening to vinal tap and ended up spending the last 20 min of it, just a dancing in our kitchen, Dh was getting his funk on LOL for a man that would not sing or dance when I meet him, he sure can do so now.. I remember him only being willing to waltz(sort of) at our wedding, was just busting the moves last night.. 🙂
As I was teaching him how to turn me in the jive, I was laughing but also had a tiny sad moment when I realized that with my mom’s new hip and now knee, she won’t be able to ever jive with me again, from the time I was little, if the right song came on, we would just stop and dance, glad I still have that in my life.
Of to bed for a well deserved sleep, and the hounds even let me sleep in till just after 6 this morning! Here’s to a wonderful and productive sunday to go with my great saturday!



Never noticed it here (but that certainly doesn’t mean it’s not; ) Sounds like an amazingly useful fruit – have to keep my eyes open: )
