No fire in the stove this morning. I heard a tapping on the front glass and found a starling trapped in it. I love birds and actually was glad there were no embers burning.
It quickly flew to the window when I opened the stove.
Someone from the outside was trying to help when he said it at the window.
I did get the chores done this morning while Dude made breakfast. No camera since I am on my own and I kept dropping it yesterday in manure! I rearranged the feeding bins to fit my needs. The goats and ram usually try to barrel me over while I try to feed the horses. Horses are huge so they get fed first but the others will still try to steal food from me causing a ruckus. Today I put the boys out, closed the gate and put their tubs on the other side of the fence so I can just dump their feed over the fence and not get bowled over.
The geese were next plus everything needed water today. I went to clean out the geese's pool and tried to do it quickly, dumping their water. That caused a wave the dirty poopy water came back and hit me smackdab in the face! Note to self ....close your mouth when outside.
Also I need to remember to wear a hat... wind causes it to blow in my face and I can't see what I am doing or it gets caught in things. ... like spider webs.
Next up ... a bath(remember, I got goose slop all in my face!) and a nap. I can tell when my body is stressing out , everything gets stiff and doesn't want to move. Time to rest.
Later the greenhouse was watered -Dude did that. Salad for dinner along with our cheeseburger impossible pie.
Strawberry pepper jelly was made. I decided the pepper jelly I made yesterday wasn't hot enough, so today I left the seeds in this jelly. OHman, it's hot now but very good!.
4 cups of crushed strawberry, a cup of crushed jalapeños with seeds left in, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 7cups of sugar. I used package of powdered pectin today but the same procedure as yesterday's recipe.
Cooked to a rolling boil.
Water bath for 12 minutes.
It is very good but very hot.
Time for another nap...what, they are only 15 minutes...smile, then out for a walk. Later finish my Halloween cards to mail tomorrow.
peace
