Did you know that bees like to feed off of rodent innards? I didn't either.
Yesterday we did 27 dozen ear of corn within three hours. There were seven of us working along at my parents. I'm so very happy to have lots of solid gold in the freezer for the next year.
Today I've been alone a good portion of the day. Someone came and abducted the kids. But they let me know ahead of time. The girls are gone for 24 hours. The boy is off swimming at a neighbors. What did I do? Took a nap, walked the dog, and made bread. I almost always make bread if I don't know what to do. To make things interesting I used almost all molasses for the sweetener. I'm adventurous like that.
I kind of feels like school is back in session being alone today. I like it and I don't like it all at the same time.
Well that's all the flowery things I have to share I guess. The Chairman just drove up, so I better go visit with my better half.
I need to visit this more often.... Thanks for the chuckles and yes, even a few tears... I miss having kids around! But trying to enjoy this new phase of life too.
ReplyDeleteI made some sourdough bread for the first time from some starter I found in my clean out. It was a big hit, maybe I'll start making more bread.

ReplyDeleteHey there Shelley- I just activated a sourdough starter myself! And it's bubbling away in the kitchen! Kind of fun. Yeast bread would be more practical for my lifestyle but I'm a bit skittish about that yet. Have done sourdough before as Mom had that when we were kids.
ReplyDeleteAnd- my original comment was going to be only this: No- I did not know that about bees. So did the rodents eat lots of chocolate or something? Or did they die because of poisoning and this is the real reason the bee population is dying off? Whew.
