It's a MONDAY!

 

It’s a MONDAY!

 

Cooked a pork butt yesterday, and just thought that cutting off the fat would leave enough meat to make good stuff for the dogs to eat. Someone needs to remind me that cutting off the fat just really does not work on pork! Gave the neighbors a frozen pork butt and will hang a sack with all the trimmings off this one for Jeanie on her gate tonight or soon. Her dogs probably will eat this stuff without even turning up their noses. My dogs gave me this look. You know the one. ## Apparently, they think it is ok if barbecued.

 

Went to the dentist this morning and was told to come back in four to six months. The dark spot was not a cavity. The other place doesn’t really need to be messed with just yet. Then the denture place called and said to be there in the morning at 10:30 for a try in. My guess is that this will be the one where we decide that my mouth needs to grow larger to accommodate all that dental work—or just become accustomed to biting less. Really do not enjoy trying to adjust to new dental work. At least they make dentures to fit on a person’s gums. Can’t imagine how this worked out for folks before dentures became commonplace.

 

Gave the hens a head of cabbage early this morning when the coop door was opened. It is G O N E already! They really like that stuff. Guess it is good for them. Thought about giving them some of the pork butt fat, but not sure it is good for them. Has no salt in it, but still, it might mess them up. Sterling might know, but he never gave his chickens anything except what the feed company brought them.

 

Turned the water on long enough to fill the bowls and the one big water jar inside the coop. This time of the year means remembering to cover the faucet as soon as it is turned off and disconnected from the hose. Left it on the other night and had to wait until it thawed! Doofless ol’ woman just forgot. Good way to get a busted pipe!

 

My calendar is filled out for this week. Dentist tomorrow; vet on Wednesday or Thursday; and Reece’s graduation ceremony on Friday. Never a dull moment! And then, too, the middle coop needs to be cleaned out again. Those birds eat a bunch and do the stuff that results in a bunch! But at least the old woman has the energy to get the job done for keeping the place semi-clean. Actually, taking Sylvia to the vet is going to be almost as much fun as going to the dentist!!

 

These two dogs licked up every bite of the pork that was turned into barbecue. Maybe it was just the right sauce that was needed. It just gave me indigestion. Figures. Think maybe boiled eggs might be better for me.

 

We must pray for peace of mind and peace from the destructiveness in this world. Have to glance at the news from time to time, but it is just enough to turn my stomach. Horrors upon horrors. Opinions that resemble those infamous body parts. And all turned against common sense. May God bless Israel. May our governors use the wisest words and efforts to promote peace in our states.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
