Ran the attic fan for a bit last night. Enjoying the cool peace before grands and greats descend on us at noon. Our lady cardinals are vocal this morning along with the fat red squirrel who thinks he owns the place. Already mopped the kitchen floor. Made the food last night. Haven't seen these grands in 3 years so have some catching up to do.

Rain. Nothing going on here, today. We saw our DS and DDIL off for their anniversary vacation for a week in Pensacola, Florida this morning.
Finally we got real rain....it has been raining off and on for a couple of days
Stopped today...but will start again ..lloff and on for days..maybe as soon as tonight...the garden is loving every drop...so far 2 and 1/2 inches..
We have been in a very serious drought..not as bad as some areas but bad..

For my PET scans, I was told to limit carbs for 48 hours prior, then nothing sweetened/no carbs the morning of. I always had tea before my scans. I'll be praying for you. The scan is not bad. The anxiety about the results is.
We've spent the morning working on the garden, laundry, doing some preserving (I had some berries going bad), and general stuff.

Walked to church this morning as it is a beautiful day. Temp is now 83º/feels like 88º but only 76º in the house. Everything is closed up except for the front door so it should stay comfortable in here. Low overnight forecast to be 61º then up to 86º tomorrow.
I planted four more tomatoes Beef Steak, Yellow beef steak type and two different varieties of Romas. I have another yellow and a Roma left, but will give those away as I do not need more than the eight I've planted. Hoed the potatoes a bit and looked with dismay at the grass everywhere. I pulled grass around where I planted each tomato. My back didn't allow me to plant the peppers and it's supposed to rain again tonight. Surprisingly we can still use the moisture even with all the rains lately -- all light no gully washers which I guess is good!! I found two sprouted potatoes I missed when I planted the potatoes so may go back out and stick them in the unfinished potato row. Maybe not, depends on my back.
I have a few radishes up, summer squash, beets, maybe one zucchini and a bit of lettuce. Only full germination was the summer squash and I think every seed came up so I'll have to thin. I'd thought about planting lettuce in buckets and placing them in the shade behind the house, but since the rabbits ate two of my peppers yesterday when I put them outside and my impatience which is in a tub, I figured it would be a waste of time. Inside the fence or not at all.

Picked my first chill pepper and a bell pepper from my raised beds, yesterday. Have some grape tomatoes that may be ready in a few days.

I've been refreshing household supplies, and here are some thoughts, stemming from holes i found:
My takeaway on small but truly useful preps:
- Pairs of plastic dish size tubs for use as hand washing stations, dishes, hand laundry, moving multiple small items, etc. If you do not have running water, one to wash, the other to rinse.
- Eyeglass repair kit
- Empty plastic bottles- multiple uses! 2-liter bottles with the bottoms cut off make great individual plant covers for transplants when the weather is still cold or unsettled. I use empty gallon distilled water bottles (the heavy squarish type from Walmart) for water storage, especially in high use areas like under sinks. They fit in closets, back sides of low cabinets and under pianos in a box. Most people store water in their basement or garage, but carrying a bigger container than one gallon of water may be difficult if one is ill, old, or a child.
- Plastic garbage and storage bags in the car. Catch a fish? Carry it in plastic. Raining? Makes a quick rain cover or rain poncho. Dozens of uses will occur to you.
-Paper plates- helpful if one is sick, if the water is out, and to quickly expand your serving capacity if you are feeding a crowd.
-Wet wipes are a quick way to keep people clean, and don’t use water. Not a permanent solution, but a good interim one for a few weeks until you see if you are in a short term, medium or long term situation.
-Bottle of plain bleach and an eyedropper for treating water. 8 drops of bleach to one gallon. A small syringe (don’t need a needle) can be used instead of an eyedropper: one ml=2 drops. The cheapest easy quick water treatment.

I'm getting pretty good germination from that day of seed sewing...the rain helps a lot.
I noticed one of my Amish Paste tomatoe plants is drooping and the other two aren't looking the greatest. They haven't looked as robust as the other tomatoes since I planted them. They haven't done well for me for a few years and they are DH's favorites. I need to look and see where the seeds came from and if there is any chance I've been using from the same packet the last few years.
They use to be one of my best performers with beautiful fruit. For years they were in a tie with Cherokee Purple with Trip-L-Crops being number three. The last couple years the Cherokee Purples weren't the best either but this year they are back to their glory days and so is Trip-L-Crop. I have a Cherokee Purple hybrid that is the top dog as far as growth and deep color in that experiment I am repeating from last year.
I had to set the garden aside and do a little house cleaning this weekend. I need a whole week of it!

Yes! The dust is making itself at home. All in good time! The laundry, dishes, and some sides for Memorial Day and beyond are cooked. I'm calling that a win for today.
I've done about as much pantry restocking, except for meat, that I can do right now. I'll work on meat later this week.

Still trying to get my day started. I got derailed by light rain showers. The good part: I don't have to water anything.
About half of my tomatoes are flowering. I hope the weather stays reasonable so they can set fruit.
The original plan was a bike ride and some disc golf, but I'll probably just go for a long walk. I'm doing well with my step quotas, so that's a win.

Another inch of rain in our forecast, today. Monday is always a big laundry day for me, but nothing else planned for today. I have an appointment with my rheumatologist, tomorrow afternoon. I plan to do some shopping at Sam's to increase my pantry stock.
That's about all that's going on for us, until the rain stops. Supposed to rain all week.

Just walked in the door from the vet. Was not in my plan for today, but when we were up at the pasture the dog got bit by a rattlesnake. It must have been pretty good sized - he normally avoids them, and he was bit on the snout. I can fit my index finger between the fang marks. Pretty sure he will be OK, but - yikes. I hate snakes! DH is now saying he will be taking equipment up there next weekend and dealing with some stuff.
I'm already tired and it's not even noon.

Yep. Found 2 snake skins in my laundry room. One large and one smaller. Cary killed a 4ft. water snake the next day beside the house, so we got rid of that one. We haven't seen the smaller one, so it must have gone out the way it came in. I had to take out everything in one of my kitchen cabinets and scrub and sanitize it all, because there was a tell-tale sign that one of them had been in there. Cary finally found the hole where they were getting in and plugged it good.

There was a hole underneath the stairwell that goes into the laundry room. An old pipe had been removed, before we bought the house, but never plugged. That's the only place that the snakes could have gotten in. Cary searched the house over and under, and that's the only place he found. I think they were looking for mice. I had seen some mouse droppings in the laundry room a few days, before we found the snake skins. The mice have also been taken care of.

Beautiful day today. I stayed home and mostly inside because we had rain overnight so muddy under foot. Rain is in the forecast again for early morning hours tomorrow. Currently a pleasant 73º/high today 87º/low tonight 64º. Supposed to be in the 80's all week. I keep the house closed up during the heat and so far, 77º is as warm as the house had gotten. I haven't turned the thermostat from heating to a/c yet because last week it was cold enough the furnace ran most mornings.
I dusted the office/computer/sewing room which was ridiculously bad. I need to dust the rest of the house but currently my back is saying a big NO to leaning over. Had to use the walker earlier this morning due to the pain but got better later ... as long as I do not lean over. Pain started from putting on support stockings and shoes. Spent a good portion of the day in the recliner wishing I could get something done. I washed the afghans I used over winter and have them ready to put away ... when I can lean over again. I dropped a couple things on the laundry room floor and went and got the grabber to pick them up rather than leaning over ... for once made the smart choice. I did do dishes today so a couple small accomplishments.
I moved my pepper plants out into the sun today, but I put them up on a TV tray so the rabbits couldn't get at them, and I didn't have to lean over. It was pretty windy, but they seemed to fare well. Wish I could have planted them yesterday before the rain, but my back didn't make it beyond planting the four tomatoes.
Nuked leftovers for supper but will need to cook tomorrow.
I spent 45 minutes going through the 39-page HyVee ad online and found zero items to put on my list. Fareway's ad was only 15 pages and still the same zero items. If people are buying the pre-prepared over-processed stuff in the ads, then I can understand why people are complaining about increasing food costs. Simple meals made with ingredients not boxes of stuff are fairly cost effective. I save any way I can and try not to let things go to waste.
I asked grandson, who called that he was coming out Sunday, if he'd pick up the Pepsi on sale at Fareway. Reminded him Fareway is closed on Sunday. He picked up the Pepsi and some bananas. Savings on the Pepsi was $13.50 so I really appreciated him doing that for me. He remembered I'd mention in conversation that I was out of bananas and brought some. He is a very thoughtful gentleman. I insisted on paying him for the groceries since I asked him to shop for me.

Finally back to almost normal after three days of gas and diarrhea. Was too ill to eat supper yesterday.
Picked up some marked down eye of round steaks at supermarket today, along with a roast and some cube steaks that were both marked down. Fixed the steaks in the air fryer. Got distracted and slightly overcooked them, but still OK. Well done instead of medium rare. Had one for supper tonight with some mashed potatoes.

We are getting a break from the rain, today and tomorrow. Only a slight chance both days. Then, rain returns. Our extended forecast for next week is calling for drier conditions, so hopefully, we can get the stain on the house finished. The yard will have to dry completely, before the tree cutters can get their big truck over to where the tree is. Time to dry out will take a while.
Rheumatologist visit, today. I've been having a few problems that I'm sure he will want to deal with. On to Sam's for more pantry shopping, and we'll eat out, before we come home.

Hubby's feet are not hurting as much at night. He is consistent with his therapy. He gets to sleep earlier and therefore wakes up earlier. So I haven't had my quite time to post here. He is sleeping in today apparently.
I hatched 11 turkeys. A neighbor bought 2 yesterday evening and another couple are coming for 5 tomorrow.
Mice have been a real problem here this year. Mice have gotten under the house for the first time in 35 years since we built the house. I haven't been able to find a hole wher they are getting in. We keep bait out under there and I keep my tin cat live trap baited with peanutbutter. We suspect the door doesn't seal as tight as it used to. I added a tin cat outside the door against the foundation. As of yesterday, nothing was in it. I put one at my Turkey pen. That one has caught 24 mice so far. I am trying not to leave feed overnight in their pen. But they scatter grain some.
My son and grandson came up and unloaded the trailer of hay. Our son says he is coming his days off to start building animal pens. They are taking down my hoop house that I used for rabbits and moving it to the barn. I haven't used it for several years except to put chickens in to butcher but I have some cages I can use.
I dug 4 mullein plants to make more salve. Hopefully, I can get that done this week or next.
I got the garden all tilled and am tilling up some more area. I have all my bedding plants out. I lost one tomato in the heavy rain. It broke near the ground. It's on the end of the row so I am just going to plant some flowers there. I still have sweet potato slips to plant and my purple hull peas. I planted 6 slips already, but I have a lot more.
Yesterday morning, Hubby woke me up a little before 5. The power was out. There had been no storm but 212 customers were out. His C-Pap machine not working is what woke him. But instead of plugging into his battery box, he moved it to the dinning room to power my incubators. The little one powered the brooder on the porch. Maybe we need another power box in between the 2 sizes we have. Recent medical expenses have money tight at the moment.
Today we get our daughters kids for the day. I need to get some more stuff done. Have a blessed day everyone.

I'm so glad that his therapy seems to be working...sounds like a good investment! It seems like we are constantly fighting mice but our biggest problem right now is the steady stream of ants we can't seem to stop. I know part of it is the time of year but I'm tired of the dad blasted things. It's the first time the Terro hasn't worked. In fact, they seem to be feeding off of it. There's not a food source so I don't know what is attracting them.
It doesn't sound like DS will ever move back to our neck of the woods. I know it's a comfort to have your kids close though. I don't know what we'd do without the ones we have close by and of course, the grandkids. It feels like I can't get all the loose ends tied up on my garden but I'm 90% there. DH had several days in a row off and it was wonderful. When he's working in his shop, he'll often come give me a hand in the garden. On a normal year, I really don't need help but since we've made so many structural changes, it's been like a domino affect and it seems I'm constantly needing help lifting or fixing. If my garden was this much trouble every year, it would not be worth it but this is our plan to make it easier. Time will tell.
Bless your hubby for taking care of those eggs before himself. We could use a couple more of those boxes too.
Your hubby is a good man!
I will say, after my incubator experience this year, I'll probably be a bit less freaked out about a short term power outage..
The first three nights, the incubator shut off at 8 pm and turned back on at 6 am...it accidentally got plugged into the plant light timer!
Then, I kept finding "new" eggs mysteriously showing up in it...duck eggs, and very *dirty* duck eggs, to boot. Turns out, oldest granddaughter really wants baby ducks! No one else does!
When I tried to candle them...about 4 days later than I should have, most of the eggs were so dark brown I couldn't see much of anything. The few lighter green and tan eggs were alive (all but one), so I decided to cross my fingers and "assume" the rest could be.
4 days before they were supposed to hatch, one of the girls left the incubator top ajar, which didn't get discovered until noon the next day! The temp was 87° and the humidity was below 25%! This, of course, is the most crucial time for the humidity to be above 60%, or the chicks often get stuck in the shell.
Despite it all, they started pipping...albeit on day 22, not day 20 which is normal. They started hatching on day 24...and I walked in to see the girls holding the top wide open so they could watch! I spritzed the remaining eggs with a misting of water, shut the incubator again, and laid down the law!
The next day (day 25...normally, they are all hatched and any remaining eggs are dead) I found one chick stuck in an open egg, and a second one which had pipped all the way around, but hadn't been able to open it.
I pulled the shell off the one that was stuck, and, after discovering the other one was still alive, I decided to risk opening the shell to try to give it a chance...it's not recommended, because they usually don't make it...either they'll bleed to death from their umbilicus, or, if they were trapped in the shell for long after being exposed to the air, they stiffen up in their "crunched up" position, and aren't able to unfold to stand.
I was shocked when I peeked in a few hours later and found both of them up and running around! I then had to give the one that had been stuck a warm bath to soak off the remaining shell pieces. They both survived and thrived.
One last chick pipped on day 25, and hatched the morning of the 26th day!
I ended up with 20 live chicks out of 26 eggs. It turned out 4 of the remaining eggs were "clears"...never fertile. So, 20 out of 22 fertile eggs hatched...even with all the ridiculous mistakes and challenges!
Of course, that still doesn't rival the 2 chicks that hatched last year 4 days after the mother hen gave up and took her first hatched chick and left. They were in the greenhouse, and apparently the temp stayed warm enough (during the day, at least!) to let them hatch! We discovered them when cleaning out the "dead" eggs from the nest, and two of them started cheeping! We immediately plugged in the incubator and put them in it...they both hatched that night!
I'm guessing it helps that these are "barnyard hybrids"...essentially, mutts! If they were purebred from expensive purchased eggs, probably none of them would have survived!

That is pretty darned impressive! I haven't hatched anything in a few years and I'm without a rooster right now but I'm down to six hens. After keeping this bunch for a few years, we started losing them about six months ago. First my last bielefelder rooster died and slowly but surely I've lost hens for one reason or another and now here I am with two buffs, 2 beilefelders, one cream legbar and one ancient americana and I do mean ancient.
We got her when our fifteen year old grandson was a baby and the wild thing is, I'm pretty sure she started laying again...either that or our remaining cream legbar is laying two every day. They are both blue egg layers. All my stock is old but I don't think I'm up to hatching or raising baby chicks right now. I've been telling DH for a while now that I'm tempted to go all Americana in the future. I've never seen anything like them for longevity. We just lost an americana hen about a year ago that hatched with the old one we still have. The only thing is, even though I love blue eggs, I don't want all blue eggs as silly as that sounds. Also, their eggs aren't as big as those buffs and bielefelders are.
I reckon I ought to borrow one of DDIL's roosters and get some hatching eggs. She hatched most of her chickens from my eggs. She had one rooster that was half bielefelder and half buff. That would be perfect for what I have left.

Busy day here. I helped pick up flags around the square from yesterday (a bunch were stuck in the ground to line the square) and I'm now working on the latest garden wagon. Once the rust is removed and the bare metal painted, it should work just fine. I've got pieces of it soaking in Naval Jelly.
I've tried to find naval jelly I can buy in larger amounts than the small bottle I bought on Amazon. Do you have a source for a larger amount?

Voice on the Prairie
I got mine at Fleet Farm, maybe two years ago. I'll bet it's sky-high and only available in some stores in small bottles since it's a petroleum product. You might check farm and auto stores near you. There are other products that work the same as naval jelly. They just have different names, like Rust Oleum rust dissolver, which was available by the gallon.
Thanks...my search is decades long. I think people don't use it much any more. I will check the farm stores though...wish we had Fleet Farm in our area. I've never even seen one.

What do you use mullein salve for? I use many herbs and plants but have to admit that I know nothing about mullein.
