Slow News!

Summer is flying by, here it is September already!!
My pullets started laying.....the very same day the 'egg recall' hit back in August. Divine Intervention?? ;-) I am up to 4 eggs a day, so soon there will be a feast with eggs!

School started in Mid-August for Kyle, and he's cut down on how many days he's been working. His Explorer's transmission blew a front seal, so it's out of commission for now. Once again, I am sharing my truck with him.

Jared is done with Basics and almost finished with AIT (Advanced Individual Training), and will be on to Airborne School. He called last night and said he overdid it on the PT test, he was trying for a good score and almost passed out, they took him to the hospital and put an IV into him. (Heat Exhaustion I think.) He still passed the test!

Our garden has been slow this year, producing enough for sandwiches and the like, not enough for canning yet! I had to laugh, my "Brussels Sprouts" I started from seed back in July are actually Climbing Spinach! Seems I forgot which seeds I had when I planted them. No wonder they looked funny! HA HA

I got Dolly's pregnancy blood test results back.....she is open. She turns 16 this month....and hasn't been cycling since the bull left, so it was a real letdown for me. I am figuring out what "our" next step is with the help/suggestions from the KFC folks. (Keeping a Family Cow)
Get her into milk and/or get her cycling and re-bred or... ?? I won't throw in the towel with her just yet, I'm too stubborn to just give up on her. She deserves it...OK remind me of that when she's been a naughty cow! ;-)

On a lighter note.....
I had to laugh at the neighbor....she went on a trip a couple of weekends ago. My phone rings Sunday morning and I cheerfully answer: "Hello!" She says: "WHO is THIS??" She called my house instead of her house and was wondering why some woman answered her phone!! :) :) :)
(It doesn't help our numbers are similar....either!)

Walter, Jared's rabbit sez: "I'm pretty!" (We think "he" is a "she".) ;-)
