Sorry y'all...
I'm going to just post over here now. I know this can be a lot of trouble, but I need to learn how to use Wordpress for something else we're doing. This is a good way to do that.

Take a look at these!
A picture is worth a thousand words, right?
The barn modifications are getting along! I can't say they're done, but they're definitely getting there!
Luke's joined the milking crew!Also, I may eventually blog exclusively here, just so you know.

Seed block pictures
I realized that I haven't posted pictures of the seed blocks we did Thursday. Daddy and Kyle have also done a lot of work out at the barn. Hopefully I (or somebody) will get some pictures of that soon. Until then, here are the seed block pictures:
We planted the tomato seeds in large seed blocks which we made with one of those really big cans of pumpkin.

This week's menus
Tonight we are having Honey and Apple Cider Glazed Pork Roast, with left-over onion-mushroom casserole.
Tomorrow we're having a light dinner night with salad (possibly with grilled chicken if I'll thing to do it), fruit, and maybe some fresh bread (if I'm not too lazy).
Wednesday I might fix ham and bean soup using some of yesterday's left-over ham.
Thursday: any ideas??? I can't get any help around here. Maybe sausage jambalaya (got that, Daddy. You might want to think of something if you don't want it.)
Friday: Grammy's night
Saturday: Grammy's night
Monday we might have a beef roast (I'll do 2, one for tomorrow) with potatoes, carrots, and bread (?).
Tuesday, if I do 2 roasts Monday, we'll probably have Blue Plate Special. Kyle's been requesting this, but I haven't been able to fit it in the schedule.
No grilled meat this week. :( Oh, well. If there's one thing I've learned by making out weekly menus, it's to be flexible... not the easiest thing for me to do, but I'm trying.

Quick thought
Doesn't the hand that rocks the cradle rule the world? If it does, then why are the feminists so eager to gain power in the world outside their home?Tuesday, February 19, 2008
A day in my life
The morning started as usual: wake up, get ready, strip bed (that's something we don't do everyday, but it's sheets day), check email and blog feed, go downstairs to empty the dishwasher.
The morning continued as usual: empty dishwasher, wash dishes, make latte, wash more dishes, try to think of ways to use up excess milk.
The morning still continued fairly normally: Think of a couple of ways to use milk (custard and chicken feed), curdle milk for chickens, wash more dishes, finally sit down to eat breakfast, listen to Mama read Supper of the Lamb aloud.
The morning was still more or less normal: Clean up breakfast once Mama finished the chapter, wash dishes, get dinner going, wash more dishes, decide to make custard.
This part's a little abnormal: Make custard, wash those dishes, Claire and Kyle get back from milking, wash milking dishes, finally go back upstairs and make up bed.
Back to normal: Get to set down for a few moments to read blogs, lunch comes up to the big room, eat while watching the new "Mansfield Park" (Aunt Carol recorded it for us!).
Sorta kinda normal: Lunch lasted a long time (movies will do that), clean up lunch and check on dinner, sit down at the computer (for too long, but there's no need to go into that), get ready to pull dinner together.
Not quite normal: Daddy gets home, decide to put dinner off until 6:30pm, look through stash of books in the library (trying to figure out things to put on Paperback Swap), eventually make it downstairs to start getting dinner ready.
Pretty normal: Get rice going, grab a couple of boxes of butter peas out of the freezer and pressure cook them, somehow manage to get dinner ready by 6:30pm, eat and clean up dinner.
Now, I know the tenses are probably all messed up, but I don't feel like checking it right now. That's a pretty good synopsis of my day though! :)
