Well I found bread crumbs after all! My DD, affectionately known as the computer fairy has been busy helping me and we have made some progress. Still have lots to do. Pictures, finish setting up my Etsy shop (Ladybug's Homestead) and general decorating. I really don't like computers and I think mine knows this. I'm trying to bond with it. It is resisting this procedure.
I have found that retirement just means I have more time to get more work done around the homestead. There is satisfaction if not relaxation. Today I canned 10lbs of chicken, at $1.67/lb I had to buy some. This was a good price for this area. My chickens were relieved. I've explained to them the way of the world and they are producing eggs at an impressive rate still. Little do they know how safe they really are. Neither DH or I can wield an axe with any accuracy and one of the things I hate most in the world is plucking. Should TEOTWAWKI arrive I may have to work on the whole axe thing.
Ladybug (the youngest drooling basset) had surgery last week. This upset the other two more than her. She was drugged and happy for about 5 days. In case you were wondering it is almost impossible to keep a dressing on the side of a fat (we call it fluffy) , moving basset hound. The other two kept trying to discover what was under that funky looking thing wrapped around her and inbetween doses of pain killer, she is attempting to run around and play. It reminded me of having toddlers, all the same age, running in three different directions. I thought I was having an acid flashback from the 60's. Never having taken acid it would be hard for me to know but I was definitely bordering on a fugue state!
The most fun thing this last week was watching the DVDs my DD got me for Christmas. They are from Homestead Blessings. They are fabulous. I have Bread Making, Quilting, Soap Making and Dairy. I've been baking bread for a long time but their recipies were terrific and I want to make soap, and mozzarella cheese and butter and yogurt and get back to quilting and, and, and get a cow.......yeh I know.....I'm retired!
