My darling little boys! |
Well, since I am here, better update the posts.
Summer went and school year began. The boys are doing well and so is my Darling. I have not had much time for card-making classes, but here and there I've made a few. I will upload them soon.
I am making knitted and crocheted scarfs, hand warmers and head bands for a bazaar called "Make it Alaska"... soon to happen.
The chickens are doing well, though we are at the end of a "leg scales mites" epidemic.... LOL. It has been so rainy this year that to keep the chickens dry I put some wood chips on the ground. Well, some old wood chips that I had must have been infested with mites, which produced growths on the chickens' legs, between the flesh and the scales. They're all doing better, but the one that was looking worse I treated with too much tea tree oil, and it seemed like it burned the skin and she had two small cuts that were bleeding. Her name is Bob (that's another story), and she is spending a couple of nights in a box in our living-room. She is very docile and sweet, eats lettuce from our hands and stays in the box without complaint... I am sure she would rather perch, but she just lays in the straw patiently waiting until we let her out for a few hours during the day. The big boys have been real troopers and have done the soaking, scrubbing, cleaning and dressing of the legs and feet of the affected chickens, in the garage.
Schooling is going very well. We got several computer and iPad programs and they are sailing away through their lesson with very little nagging on my part Yay!
My Darling and I, we had our 15th anniversary last week. A friend came and stayed with the boys, so we had a nice little date!!!
Well, that will be for it for now....
