Its gonna get you!

I heard Sara barking and I didn't see her as first, then I noticed her around the corner of the computer desk.  She was barking at the hose of the shop vac.  Sara has never seen the shop vac.  It was so funny, she finally got used to it and then she started to chew on the end of the hose.

It is what I use to get all the dog and cat fuzz off of the floor.  A dust mop and broom just doesn't seem to do as good as a job.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Newest Toy

The son and hubby picked up their newest toy a couple of weekends ago.  It is a six horse, international 1922, throttle, governed engine.  The other one they have running was a three horse.  It runs but the six horse needs work.  The guys are well on their way to having a new hobby for the summer.

I fly Saturday to Chicago.  I am so not looking forward to it.  I get motion sick.  I heard that ginger works real well for motion sickness.   I am going to give it a try, along with the Dramamine and chewing gum.  Good thing I will only be up in the plane for just a little over an hour!

I will be taking another hiatus off of blogging for a while.  I had good intention of keeping up with the blog.  I decided to leave the computer home.  Less stuff to carry on the plane, I will be posting on facebook for those of you who use facebook.  I can use the smart phone for that!  It takes pretty darn good pictures.

Hope you had a great day.

Wood Lot

More work, but I can stay warm this next winter!

Hope ;you all have a great week.

Not much

All three dogs taking their naps.  You really can't see RJ, except for his legs.  Sara is scrunched behind Jake and the desk.  

Things have been pretty much the same.  Not a lot has changed, thus the reason I haven't really blogged all that much.  I was sick last week, and this week is just starting.  The hubby is on his way back to D.C. for the next two weeks at the least and then again, it might be for two months.  They are supposed to start working six days a week.  If he can get every other weekend off he will.

I will be flying out to Illinois in two weeks to see my family.  My father is not doing well, his cancer has spread to the brain, and they started radiation a couple of weeks ago and now they are doing treatments for the cancer in his neck and then they will be going to the one on his lung.  The radiation is making him very weak, he was admitted to the hospital today.  I might have to change my plane ticket to a sooner date.  I am waiting on whether it is serious enough to leave sooner or if to keep my ticket for the 18th of this month.

I hate to travel by plane, I get motion sickness when I fly.  I really try to avoid it if possible.  I usually take Dramamine the night before the flight and the day of the flight.  Plus chewing gum during the flight seems to help.

All the livestock is doing well, all the domestic animals are doing good.

Hope you have a great week.

Hellion!

She is small, but boy does she have a dog sized personality.  She loves to annoy the heck out of the big dogs, they just bark at her.  Scares the heck out of her when they bark, but it sure gets her attention!  She likes to latch onto Jakes tail and he drags her around like a dust mop!

Starting to feel a tad better this evening.  Hopefully by tomorrow I will be a lot better and feel like doing something.  I have lots to do and don't feel like doing any of it.  I will get to every ones blog tomorrow and hopefully comment.

Hope you have a great evening.

Putting the Engine to work!

The hubby and son put a corn grinder on the engine and ground corn into corn meal.   The hubby begged me to make him cornbread out of it.  It turned out pretty darned good.  I now have a quarter pail of cornmeal.   They went and picked up another engine yesterday and that is the next one to get running.  Then it is engine shows this summer.

I am a little under the weather today and I sure hope I can get over this cold sooner whether than later.   It is pretty much all in my "head"  no pun intended.   Sore throat, achy and my head feels like someone has it in a vise!

Hope you have a great week.

I am no model!

The shawls are finally done.  I did model them and I am not the perfect one for the job.  You just have to look at the shawl and by pass the woman wearing it.  I did two shawls, one is just slightly darker than this one.  It is a blue and black.  I did take the pictures outside hoping that the true color of the shawl would show.  They turned out pretty well, I made them a little heavier than I wanted.  The next time I am going to use a little silkier of a yarn.  This is a heavier mercerized cotton. I am going to do another two shawls but do them in black and green this time.   Then I will be doing some scarves on my new foldable loom.  Pictures soon.

Not much is going on at the farm.  Just trying to get through the colder temps.  It teases us every so often with warm weather.  One day this week it is supposed to rise above 50, not much though.  Hope your spring is a little better than ours.

Have a great rest of the week!
