peaches

I am so tired of peaches. I peeled, sliced and canned a bushel of them yesterday. Ended up with 20 quarts of peaches though. Will be great in the winter whenever I want some peaches and all I have to do is go into the kitchen and open a jar. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century. I think the way they used to do stuff is the way to go. Cannot wait until the day that I only have to go to the grocery store to buy the stuff that it is impossible to raise for myself. Likd sugar and flour. We are getting close.
On Sunday my bunny Freida had her babies. I stayed up all night Saturday because she was building her nest on the floor of the cage instead of in the nesting box and I wanted to be able to put the babies in the box after she had them because in my experience so far the babies die if they are born out of the nesting box. Well, she finally had them Sunday afternoon while I was eating lunch, lol. She did have them on the floor so I put them in the box and the bratty bunny started taking them out of the box so I put them back on the floor of the cage, on a piece of paneling and put some of her fur over top of them. I was afraid she was gonna hurt them while taking them out of the box. Well, the babies are still looking healthy today. The only problem is that it looks like all 5 of them are gonna be white and I am tired of white rabbits.

lazy day

I decided to take it easy and take a day off today but after taking a nap after Doug went to work today I realized I was bored and that having a day off isn't all it is cracked up to be, lol. I do not know how I survived when we lived in Weirton and I didn't have any animals to take care of. We lived in town and I didn't realize until recently just how lonely I must have been. After Doug would go to work I would spend the rest of the day alone with not much to do. Even after the kids came home from school they were busy with friends and such and wouldn't come home until evening. Caitlyn is gone to her grandmothers for almost 3 weeks right now and I am here alone after Doug goes to work and he is working early this week so I am getting pretty lonely. I spend the majority of my days alone right now and it is miserable at times. At times it is also nice to be alone but I am ready to have it over with. I really miss Caitlyn. But, I always have my goats to keep me company. Gotta love my goats!!!!!!!

allergies

I do not understand why God makes things like poison ivy and then makes people allergic to it. I have spent more time this summer with a poison ivy rash then I have spent without one. Why would God want there to be things that make people suffer? I am so sick and tired of itching. First, I had poison ivy, then I had an allergic reaction to a soap I was using, and now I have poison ivy again. I want to stop itching!!!!!

My son has been texting me everyday lately, it is so nice to hear from him. I was so worried about him when he moved away but I think it is good for both of us. I am really hoping to get to go up where he lives and visit him and see the beautiful place he lives in. He texts me pics of the beach and it looks amazing.

Heat wave

I am so sick of this heat. I can hardly get anything done. It is so hot that I have to take so many breaks cause the heat is making me sick. My poor garden is wilting so I have to water the whole thing every other day and I water my peppers and tomatoes every day. I pray that God sends us some rain and cooler weather really really soon. I can't take this much longer.
