Good afternoon from the thundering Mountain...we have rain again,
not that I am complaining, I prefer rain over blistering heat and who knows
maybe our climate change will be livable with small only small
adjustments. However I will have to re-dust the cabbage with DE in the morning.
For anyone reading this that does not know what DE is, it is the
fossilized remains of long dead sea life, it somehow kills the bugs eating your
plants, but one must be careful not use it near bears or it will kill
them too, it is none selective about it's killing. I try to use as little
as I can because it worries me about what it might to the good bugs.
We have had rain almost every day for weeks, the gardens are
very green and the pea plants produce handfuls of fresh peas daily. We
also still have spinach growing, both with and domestic. Our tomatoes
most of which are Russian black krims are making fruit, the corn is taller than
me and I still have more to plant, if the weather holds, I will be able to
harvest at least twice. That will help us greatly as organic corn is very
hard and costly. Our late wheat is also going in this week; the rain
should do wonders for it.
Due to the weather I and my dear husband Michael have been able to
get some projects done that have been on the back burner for months. The bathroom cabinets are all cleaned out and
the one under the sink has a nice new board. I sprayed it down with organic
pest spray to keep out bugs, which are a constant nuisance to me. New shampoo and other essentials of life are
now in their new place. It is important to use to always a good supplies of
such items laid up for future use. One
never knows if there will be an earth quake, flood, tornado, ect. It pays to be prepared!
In the kitchen a new cedar backsplash to hold me over until the
new kitchen is done. Just to let you
know the wood is all locally harvested and new trees are planted on our
property to make up for the loss from nature.
No back to what I was saying, he also redid some shelves that I have had
problems with, also in cedar; the kitchen smells so nice, like a little
forest.
Fixing these few things is like a precursor to the new
kitchen. I can hardly wait…
To other news I am typing to you to from the new ALIENWARE laptop.
It seems very nice, but incredibly heavy. The screen has a nice matt
finish, the keys are nicely lite and a good size. Some of its features
are a bit tricky to figure out, such as the cd/dvd drive. It has a slide
in system, but no way of ejecting the disk without the use of software. Above
the cd/dvd drive is the micro card reader; it has a little slide out that you
take out before putting your media in. I thought that was a clever idea
and a good way to keep dust and other debris out of the slot. Try to get
it to read a flash drive for the first time was bit tricky too; the slot bays
were super tight. I was concerned about it
tearing up my flash drives, it did etch lines on the one and that made me
uncomfortable. I will try to keep you up
to date as I finish installing the software and learning more about it.
I have to get off the web due to the weather, be
blessed dear ones; I will try to catch up with you soon.
Be Blessed
