Home cooking, better than Mom's

Yesterday, our two youngest children and I were invited to dinner.  My 16 year old daughter is taking care of a sweet, older lady for a week and   has the run of the house.  She enjoys planning meals and cooking while she's there.  For Valentine's Day, she made Fetuccini Alfredo, salad, garlic bread and strawberry cheesecake,  all from scratch, and invited us.  It was delicious!  (Did you know that there are 953 calories in a cup of Fetuccini Alfredo? ) 

I'm still  full from last night's meal.   Thank you, Mel. It was such a blessing to have dinner with you .

Sunshine on My Shoulders, Makes Me Clean More :)

A beautiful sunny day today.  It's deceiving, because it's only 1 above zero, but the sun comes through my huge livingroom window and the solar heat  and all of that light are fantastic.  This is the south facing window that I start all of my seedlings in.

 I thought I would share all of that sunshine with you. Enjoy your day.

Have a wonderful day.

T-Shirt Rug

I just finished my first t-shirt yarn project. See    t-yarn  entry.  So here's my rug made in a simple single crochet.  I used about 9 or 10 t-shirts and it measures about 18"x30".

It's kind of bright, but I like bright things.  The little yellow bits you see in the first red part are bits of Sponge Bob, who once decorated that t-shirt.

I'm going to try another couple of rugs, one in stripes and one in granny squares, and maybe a circular one.

Good night, sleep tight.

Farming-A Full Time Job

One thing you can count on, if you live on a farm, there's always things that need doing.  Does the list get shorter?  Yes, but then, because you don't have enough to do, more things crop up.  We had the automatic waterer freeze up yesterday.  Ran for parts, got it fixed, I hope.  Checked out the window this morning and it may be froze up again.  Have to run out to see.  I have a llama with diarrhea and he's getting weak.  I've got all of my critters on an herbal worming schedule, but maybe he's not getting what he needs.  I gave him some Kao last night and he loved the peppermint taste.  I haven't gone out to check yet this morning, but have some Panacur to get into him.  Then I need to clean out his bedding as best I can and put some fresh straw down.  We have to run to the Credit Union today and go get some Sulpha to have on hand for the animals.  One of our does may be due to kid in a week or two and we need to clean out the birthing pen.  Everything is frozen so solid.  We won't see temps above the single digits for a week or two. BUT-the sun is out and everything looks beautiful out there.  I'm going to pile on the clothes and get set for a great cardio workout!

Go with God and God go with you.
