am still sick, but feel better. Walked around the property today, slogging through mud with Mary who came to visit. This afternoon I did the chores and gave everyone else a break since they have been doing them. I must be feeling better as I am hungry, but nothing sounds good yet. 

My boyfriend took down alot of trees yesterday. About 30 of them by himself. This morning he had a huge bruise on his arm and told me it looked like a "mad beaver" had a heyday in back, so I had to go see. Indeed it did look like a beaver had a party back there. Mary and I had to take a detour 'path' around as we could not get over all the trees. 

The greenhouse has a bit of water in it still. We went through my seed bag again and I gave Mary some herbs and veggies she needed/wanted to try. I need to get up and at it tomorrow and take the tomatoes and peppers to the greenhouse to get transplanted and Monday start all the cauliflower, cabbages, Brussels sprouts and broccoli. The farm store has boxes of the pressed peat pots and sells them individually. That was a gold mine to find.  Then get my Nasturtium pots and window planters ready.

It is working better with me invoicing people for PayPal. No one can still figure out what is up with PayPal, but many websites are having issues with them. But it is working with me invoicing everyone who wants to subscribe. Thanks for hanging in there guys! (If you are one of these people frustrated from timing out from PayPal, email me and ask me to invoice you).

We had our first thunderstorm for the day. Nothing major, but in a way I like them at this time of the year. It must have something to do with me also liking fireworks, but this is natural. I do not worry about wildfires this time of the year as we do in summer when we get some nasty weather storms coming in. Such as last July (you should read from July 2 to a week later (2006) if you want a good sit-on-the-edge-of-your seat tale).

Tomorrow I need to go to Amy's and help her clean out the chicken barn to get ready for the new chicks which are arriving the 19th or 20th. And apparently help build a sheep shed. I hope I can swing a hammer by then, as she is pathetic at it.
