Worms

So, I really don't think anybody follows my most random blog, but I blog away anyways.

Last night I was checking the progress my worms were making in the watermelon rind I put I'm with them...they were loving it!!! In one of my tubs, my numbers at so great, that I could hear them moving when I take of the lid...looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend...that tub is getting divided!!!! Yay!!!! I'm also going to start putting stickers on my tubs with the dates on them so I know when I started them so that I can start timing them.  I really.do want to see how fast I can get them to turn over.

In other news...well really there us no news...lol...guess that's it..enjoy the pictures.

Chickens!!!!

So, I've decided!!! I'm going to start raising chickens. Maybe I need to rename my blog, from crochet love to farm girl...lol

I think what got me started for sure on this, other than the price of eggs, is the fact that eggs are something that we eat a lot of, and as expensive as gas is, it will save me money on a couple of different levels. I must say, I'm ready for this adventure...plus, I may be able to use the chicken poo in my worm bins. Yay!!!! Now, just as long as the garden does well this summer, I see things going well.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

These days I feel like time is just working against me...I have stuff piled up here, and there, waiting on me to get back to it...plans for this and that, Crochet projects that are sitting in their bags awaiting me to come back and finish them...just lots of things to do and keep up with. It looks like things will slow back down and get back to normal in July, but for now I run around like a crazy woman trying to keep up and catch up.

I've been working on getting Christmas gift projects planned and together. I've had some family gift requests. It would appear that I have 4 adult male sweaters to make, and 2 adult women sweaters to make...can I do it??? Of course I can!!! Its just a matter of getting them started, and I will...probably in July...when time is on my side again...lol

We had to replace the vacuum cleaner last night...I knew it was coming, I just didn't realize it was going to come so soon...is it sad that I was so attached to a household appliance??? Its probably because Frank picked it out for me...I'm not bragging or anything, but I truly think I have one of the best husbands in the world...sure he frustrates me from time to time, but what man isn't frustrating!!!

Well...laundry, and Saturday duties call me...I'm off to get stuff done!!!!

Last Night

Last night was not the best night of my life ever. All I can say is thank goodness for Jasper's vicious bark, the fact that I'm a light sleeper, and having lights situated in all the right places. Somebody tried breaking into the house last night...I really didn't sleep all that great after that either...I don't think Jasper or Sam did either, but when I woke up to my alarm clock this morning, Sam was practically sleeping on my head.

This morning, poor Nikki tried jumping up on the couch, which she was quite unsuccessful in doing. Another thankful thing is, she didn't seem to hurt herself. I told my husband he needs to keep a very close eye on her today just to make sure. Her time with us on this side of the rainbow bridge is getting shorter. It does indeed sadden me, but I know that once she crosses that rainbow bridge wearing that golden harness, she will be able to see well again, she wont have Alzheimer's, and her joints will work again. She will be young and happy.

Unfortunately I have not been able to work on anything crochet, knit, or quilted. Its just been to busy. I think though that when I do get back to it, it will be with a renewed sense of creativity...or at least I hope it is..lol

Well that's about all from here...promise it wont be so long between blog postings, and that hopefully the next one will be a bit happier!!! :D
