Simple LO's

I'm not sure where the time has gone in the past couple weeks, I really thought I'd get back to scrapping before now, but...not sure why but I kept busy doing little things and didn't get around to it. Almost had to MAKE myself sit down and open ps today. LOL It's not that I don't want to scrap, but if I don't get some done in the morning when I'm fresher, I just can't do it later in the day for some reason (usually)...and it's hard to always find time to, in the morning. I really wish I could get in the mood to scrap in the afternoon or evening if I have time. LOL


Anyway I did manage to toss a couple simple LO's together this morning, even though I could have been doing other things...but that will probably never change, so I left them for later and finally opened PS. The first LO is of the black eyed Susan's that I enjoy seeing in the summer. The 2nd one is of Tractor Buddy.

Nothing major going on this week, DH went and bought a sheep at the sheep & goat auction on Monday...not for us though. LOL It's for my parents, as they only got one deer last year, so are running out of extra meat already, and the sheep was cheep cause it limps...so it will be a cheep source of meat for them, once we manage to get it over to them...one of these days.

I've been trying to make clabbored milk this winter, and not having any luck. It's enough to make me scream, can't figure out why it doesn't want to clabbor for me. I would really like to use it to make cheese, as there are several recipes I'd like to try, but till I get THAT, I can't make them (although right now I'd be hard pressed to make much because of the amount of milk we are getting). I finally broke down and bought some cultured buttermilk yesterday, and will try to use it to get some started...granted it will be cultured buttermilk, not clabbored milk, but it may be close enough to work. That is of course if I can manage to get it going with the store bought junk. I'm not sure if it's the temperature of the house that is making it not work, (we do keep it kinda cool in here) or what. I will try some once it really warms up if we still have milk this summer...but won't hold my breath. LOL

We heard about a new item that cows like, that may help fatten them up (which may even help milk production, least I'm hoping) so we bought some yesterday to try it. It's Beet Pulp (think that's what it's called) so hopefully we can get Mabel to giving us more milk and get a little more meat on her bones. She was a little on the skinny side when we got her I thought, but this long winter hasn't helped her any, thankfully it is about over...we think. :)

I'm about ready to go guinea hunting! One of the ones my Dad gave us last year escaped it's pen a while back, and now that the snow is gone and it's a little warmer, it's coming closer to the house (since it goes further afield) which lets me hear it better, even with the windows closed. I really hate hearing them, which is why they were in a pen to begin with, to keep them away from the house and available to be grabbed and butchered when we wanted a meal out of them...we just never got around to eating them all. LOL I'm about ready to grab a gun and go looking for it myself...just so I don't have to hear it anymore. I don't mind hearing the chickens...but guinea's are totally annoying to me, probably cause they like to keep up their "racket" for way longer than a chicken does.

Where is the sun? Except for a few brief moments we haven't seen it for over a week. I've so ready for a day FULL of sunshine! LOL I got a new cushion for the double lounge chair finally, so we can use it again this year...but it's no fun without the sun, especially when it's a little nippy out still. Looking forward to trying it out when spring finally gets here though! :) It is suppose to be really nice tomorrow here, and may actually see the sun, but then it's suppose to get cooler again, and rain and maybe even snow. Maybe next week will be back to nicer weather, with more sun...maybe.

Well better go, gotta do more of those "little things" that seem to take up lots of time lately. LOL Hope everyone is having a good week, maybe I'll actually get some photos tomorrow if it's nice out too, I've been neglecting my camera lately! *shocked gasp* *giggle*
