Pond Achievement Acquired!

Pond Achievement Acquired!

  Whoo HOO! Porkchop Pond is dug! We removed a layer of rock over the long weekend so today’s part of the dig was quick and easy. Just dig the clay and rocky bits down a bit and smooth. Weeee!  We left a high spot so the ducks could bathe while we finished digging.  We will knock that out when the liner arrives. We will fill it up a little to check for high spots to shave down, but for the most part the HARD part is all done! Wee-HOO! Check out some of these rocks! Saturday, Rejoicing...

Work, Work, Bail

Spent all yesterday outside. First, cleaning out the well house. Here are some boring photos of the new washer/dryer set up and the shelves we ( by we, I mean Jack)  are going to cut out with the reciprocating saw so the giant air compressor will fit under. Not unlike a built in refrigerator. We have decided to keep my low tech dryer, so we can dry twice as much with 2 dryers. It doesn’t sing the Whirlpool Jingle like the new one. Yet, I can stuff 3 doggie blankets in it. Very helpful in...

Knotting ends

I start stuff, see how it goes and sometimes don’t come back around to it. This is me synching up a few starts I left hanging. The duck babies are alive and well. Just not babies anymore. Duck Photos From Start. Mac and Cheese picture has found its recipe. Facebook is not as scary as I imagined. I have dedicated 30 minutes to it each day since my Facebook Begging Break Down and feeling less like I hate it.  And Kristine helped me out with some good advice. Thanks P-cock! I realize how much...

In A Name

Filling out some papers today… Name: Jodiann Cates Business Name: Jodiann’s What? Have I become that boring? What about a new jazzy name? Should I?  Hmmmm? See I used to run a little business consulting firm and it was becoming quite a thing.  Until I got hurt and events changed. The firm, internet design stuffs… everything was consolidated under “Jodiann’s” so I was pretty happy with the name. It saved me time and paperwork. Taxes were a breeze. Now I’ve...
