I'll be at NDK this weekend. I may or may not be taking my laptop since I also have to cart around an external keyboard since the laptops is busted. *sniff*

I love how DA makes it a nice bright yellow to tell you that you have no subscription. As if I needed the reminder. Hah! As many of you know I've been canning. I've 70 pint jars of peaches and plums. I've 20 bags, 2 cups in each, of peaches and plums, a couple quart bags of dried peaches, and still about half a crate of peaches and 3 of plums to go. Wee..., we'll be swimming in the stuff.

I've been working on my sketch of Kitty@PW's Mionarracth. Looking pretty good. Still needs work though.

For those few wondering, I am still alive. Some days I certainly don't feel like it. But the burning sensation in worked muscles and the lower back pain from lifting to dang much tell me otherwise. Heh.

But there, is a yard shaping up, and maybe, just maybe I'll lose a little weight with all the sweat I've been dropping.

To those few, my thumb is doing fine, to the others, our little Italian Greyhound got his jaws clinched around my thumb, the worst right at the cuticle, while I was trying to free his leg that got caught somehow in the kennel. Poor little guy was scared and in pain. Luckily all he got was a couple of scratches.

When I'll be back online on a regular basis? I dunno. Soon hopefully. But well when one is out of work, one gets stuck with all the manual labor that needs to be done.

Can I get less of one at the moment? Well, we almost have our new fence up so that the dogs can stay in the lower end of the yard and the upper yard can be prettified again. I've got 10 feeder fish for the pond, feast on the mosquito larvae babies! If they die. they die. Hopefully not though. I like fishies.

I've got a ton of elms cut down and chopped up, some other trees pruned and some Russian Olives cut down. Garden is growing, I've got strawberries and peppers forming. Tomatoes are in blossom, pole peas, snap beans, radishes and such are coming up. Potatoes are looking nice and bushy as well.

I need more free time however. I need to breath! But alas, things aren't getting done fast enough... there really is only so much you can do when you're limited by money. It takes time to be able to purchase things to fix things. Jeesh.

It's snowing!!! Wee! Well sorta wee, but it's Christmas snow. Purr.
