Seeds!

Yesterday,  I spent most of the day in the Greenhouse, planting seeds.  My old seeds haven't been sprouting, so I spent $25 for new seeds.  Hopefully, I'll get some plants. But it's always a challenge with Jack!

Gordy is still working 6 12hr days. So far all the overtime has gone to fixing the van. Thankfully he had the overtime, otherwise we'd be screwed.

Well, we've lost 2 dogs. Mustard and one of the puppies I called Chubbies.  He was so cute with blue eyes.  2 dogs in 4 days could mean trouble.  It could be coyotes, snakes, mountain lion, fox or even bobcat. Or killed by a burro. But I haven't found any bodies. And I haven't heard coyotes for a long time.  I doubt it would be a bobcat and I haven't seen any mountain lion tracks. Plus both seemed to have disappeared during daylight.  So maybe snakes, and then coyotes take the bodies?  I just don't know. Maybe Chupacabra......

R.I.P.  Mustard and Chubbies

Shopping

Me and Becca went on a 7 hour shopping trip today. My plan was getting everything done, so I'd be able to spend the day with Gordy tomorrow. But his van is broke down in Vegas, so that plan failed. : (

Anyways, we stopped at Tractor Supply and they had baby chicks!  So I HAD to buy 6 of course! One died on they way home. I hope the rest make it.

I picked up seeds to plant, because I don't think the seeds leftover from last year are going to sprout.

Jenny/Jonny was here when we got home. Man, the dogs were upset! Oh, and even though she is a he, I think he prefers being called Jenny. Can't believe we have a transgendered burro...

75 Degees Today!

Awesome day today! Got nothing done, but I'm drinking beer and sitting by the fire with Becca. All is right in the world.

I did have a 'first world' problem today. I couldn't find my sunglasses!!!!   Oy Vey! But then the Gods smiled upon me and I found them. Thank you, Universe!

Past few days

The water guy came the other day and filled up 4 tanks. 1000 gals of water! Yay! I can't explain how it feels to have that much water stored.  It makes me feel more secure.

The past few days have been good. Been playing with the dogs a lot. Freakin' Oaloff was leading Jack around by a leash! It was awesome.

Oh, it turns out Jenny is actually JONNY!!! That thing had to be 2ft long!  Eeewwwwww

The sunsets have been great this week and so has the weather. I love it here!

Water!

Tomorrow we will have 1000 gallons of water to fill up 4 of our tanks! We have 5 - 275 gal tanks, but the valve is broken on one of them.  Plus, Gordy has been working on digging for a foundation for our gravity feed water tower. He's hoping the tower will be done by June.

Unfortunately and fortunately, Gordy is working 6 12hr days per week. Doesn't leave any time for projects, but hopefully, we'll have some nice overtime checks! Especially because his van is broke down, and he is using my car. And I still need some teeth.

No Computer

I haven't had a working computer for a long time now. It should be fixed soon. However, we have cancelled our internet service.  But I just found this app, so hopefully, I can blog from my phone. This is my test post.
