Oh my goodness, things have sure changed on the blog... hope i can figure it out... i need to change my picture...things are just fine around here, although I hurt my knee couple of weeks ago..haven't been to agility classes for 3 weeks.. first Wynn was lame this winter, now me... it seems a bit better today...I want to enter in a trial in Kamloops the end of Aug.. oh well, i had better get it better fast...  Joe bought us tickets to the Yankee and Mariner game in Seattle the 25th of July... i wanted to stay in Seattle, but the room cost and the cost of parking make it just too expensive... can ya believe that they charge 20 to 30 bucks to park in the hotel parking lot...So i decided we should stay at Tualip Casino, price is about the same, but no parking cost...  it is only a 35 minute drive...  Green house is doing well, lots of tomatoes, and one weenie cucumber...and lots of baby peppers... it was so hot yesterday, that we ended up putting shade cloth over it... I have a friend who works for a place that makes shade cloth for windows and decks, and if there is an mistake in the weaving they bring it back, and she said they have a warehouse full of the stuff,, I traded her a case of crab apple jelly for some... put some over our bedroom window and the  greenhouse... brought the green house temp down 10 degrees...
Butchered our meat birds this weekend, we are getting really fast, 2 hours for 12 birds, but we took two days as the temp was going up so fast..i was pleased with the weights, mostly 4 to 4 1/2 lbs, and a couple of 5+, scale only goes to 5 pounds...so we have 24 fat plumb hens in the freezer..


Been knitting my girlfriend her 50th birthday present, a shawl of course, I probably won't be around when she turns 60...just the simple "garter and lace shawl"... got the body of the shawl done, "boring", but when it came to do the lace, I just couldn't concentrate... so went to another project...I am making Father Igneous a scarf for his birthday which is the 17th of October, the first night of the spinning retreat...it is a very cool pattern...
