It finally rained early this A.M. 'n it's Friday, 'n I just finished my Boneshaker! Now I want to let my hops grow out of control 'n make my own Boneshaker liquid! ;) There's nothing to complain about! My nature friends do a wee bit more water please Sky! The fruit was starting to fall off in defense of surviving. It's been weeks of intense heat... wait... oh happy evening; it's raining again! :) I'm so grateful! My chest was actually feeling tight before we finally got this rain. It was a small glimpse into what farmers might feel. Only it's been years without rain for some. The pond was the only way we get through it! Nothing invigorates you like water hey!!!? :) Even Annabelle came with us 'n chased the frogs back into the water! :) She stirs up the water 'n the next thing you know, your having a clay bath! :)
I wish our leaders would put more thought into our food 'n environment.
A nice quiet weekend is exactly what we need. Jame was asked to work, but I get him every other weekend cuz I can't do it all around here! I need help moving some things out to the shed cuz I'm tired of storing them in the solarium b/c "We might use them someday!" Years pass by... 'n I can no longer hold it in! :) Laundry needs to be done. Told Jame I need a little washing hut near the pond with a line. I dislike lugging all these baskets full... One thing at a time! I did finally get the other half of my kitchen done! We took advantage of not paying for 18 months. So he helped me lug the big boxes home 'n the next day I was too excited to wait for him, 'n I decided to start setting 'em up! Took the cardboard off which was perfectly straight giving no indication; only to discover that each piece had a flaw. A lot of changes in ten years! One side was smashed in. Another is showing peeling already, another isn't square b/c the staples didn't go all the way through, another the staples missed, 'n the corner base unit I had to flip upside down 'n use screws to keep it from falling apart. At one point the screw just split the board apart, (even pre drilling). I paused 'n started crying. Not b/c my ego or vanity... cuz I was ecstatic to finally get a nice functional kitchen that I could go crazy fermentista in! I shed those couple tears cuz of the non existence of love. It was b/c there was no care. And then I reminded myself that the universe knows I'm happy with everyone's unwanted stuff, so I moved on to the next moment! I only put light stuff in the top 'n hope they stay up there for a few years. Until I have more time to make my own! I feel for our next generation! Either they just don't care or they really don't know what they're doin' cuz there's been no experience.
Got three rentals this weekend. Cleaning after each one. So a little bit of work. I'm starting to find my place after a year. I find when I give 'em the "Re-spect" speech 'n leave on a great note; I come to find the Centre the way they found it! They've added getting supplies to my list of volunteer jobs now. Whatev's! I do it cuz I care! I luv making people happy. The good kind of happy! The grateful happy!
My baby sent us a letter from camp two days in. Received it tonight. She actually fainted cuz she didn't drink enough water. My poor baby! Oh yeah, she's gettin' a I told ya so, when I see her!!! She says she's part of a great team of girls, 'n she's so tired 'n her back hurts. I hope to get a letter to her! The post peeps are callin' for a strike. Otherwise I have to send it with the next bus. Hopefully by now she got a day off 'n was able to recuperate! I'm so proud of her! :) And miss her!
Yeah, the espressos are fully worn off 'n the 7.1% has kicked in making me feel sleepy all of a sudden! :)
