NEW...

EEK, NEW MONTH

Im going to have another Skype chat tonight at 6 pm...today is my Younger sis's birthday. Its a milestone for her too 65!  That is one reason I wanted to do my Skype on Wednesday, Because the family spotlight should be on her today not me.

So I am at home doing chores, Im clearing things out of my shed that I don't want and Im putting those things in Mom's old shed so my son can sell them if he wants and what he doesn't sell I will get rid of at some point.  MY shed is a real mess...but it doesn't have to be nice it just needs to not have things in it I have no need for...so Im going thru and clearing out some stuff.  Im making one bucket of scrap metal, and one of scrap wire, this will go to the metal recycling center.  I ended up with one trash can full of trash and I moved a storage bin of stuff to the other shed, well not all some is yet to go over I got tired and hot and called it a day about 1 pm. Stuff like an entire spool of barbed wire...I will not be putting up more fencing.  A 2 burner Coleman stove that burns on Coleman stove fuel, the kind you pump up, I have the butane stove and it's great I do not like that pump up kind that's more for people who will set up for a week or whatever. 

I also have a Coleman Lantern that works on the small propane canister...an industrial hole punch for paper, the odd thing here and there a shower head, a fish tank warmer, just random things. 

Unfortunately  I hurt my back...it is really giving me what-for...I have back issues from old injuries, and when I have to stand still in one spot it really begins to stiffen up and that can throw my SI joint out of whack and I think that happened in the vet's office Tuesday.  They put me in a room to wait for the vet with my dog../we waited and we waited and we waited..NO chair in the room, my dog laid down and went to sleep.  Finally I stuck my head out into the office and wait room area to inquire how much longer, I really needed to either move around or sit down.  The room was about 5 ft by 5 ft with a big exam table in the center...So I was not able to move around I had leaned on the wall, then I bent over the table with my head on my elbows, and the AC was blowing cold on me. 

So I know what happned they were trying to determine if a bulldog was pregnant or not.  They did a urine/pregnancy test and it was not conclusive so they let that guy go I was next after a cat named Butterscotch...but the fellow with the bull dog was pulled BACK in after he had already been let go and paid his bill...then they put him in the room next to me and they talked him into doing an ultrasound...I could hear all this with the paper thin walls...

Next day my back was out of sorts and it had begun to ache in the little room.  I didn't mind waiting but they should have let me go back into the wait room to sit down not keep me standing in one spot for 45 minutes...IM no spring chicken.  As long as I keep moving or sit I do just fine...

I picked banana peppers today I have more chili peppers coming on and at least 2 more Bell pepper and more Jalapeno also...I think I could become a pepper farmer here and do a brisk business...I have 6 Banana Pepper plants got dozens and dozens of peppers...today alone I picked 17...I froze most and kept about 6 raw.  I do plan to overwinter, when the lows' dip to 55 I need to bring them inside the laundry room.  

Last night a fox paid us a visit.  She was in the field just about dusk eating ripe persimmon off the ground.  I heard a fox yelping the night before, or cackling whatever you call that ruckus they make. Sure is pretty a gray fox.  She had red, white, grizzly grey and black on her coat. Very fat and slick...really pretty face. 

So it's October...wow
