Everyone sounds busy! Off to yoga. I'll take another day of freedom

Dill, I had a craving for potato salad the other day so I had to make some. I always leave the skin on as well; I think that it gives the salads flavor boost.

Cowboy, sounds like you're going to be pretty busy soon. You'll have to post a video while you're driving the tractor, it was pretty cool when you recorded it last Spring.

24 more for all of us please...

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

It looks like I'll be a camper bachelor for the next month or so starting today, but I'm sure I'll get back to Veg for a night or two on account of being rained out. Corey called yesterday afternoon and said he got things all set up and running smooth so he was ready for me today. I decided to spend one more night at home instead of driving out yesterday just to get settled in the camper. I'll head out early this morning with food and clothing for the camper and then head over to the field. I'll be sure to post some pics and videos of spring seeding in Alberta.

Good morning Cafe. I lost my last post so this will be quick. Good luck with those peas Cowboy and the camping life. Will Bubba come visit you? Slo, our tiny house is actually a modular home built in the 90s that we have updated. It’s located in a community with homes all the same size. Nice little community that is considered seasonal. It’s open about 7 months of the year. Which is perfect for us because we come to Florida anyway in the winter. Ginger, hope you enjoy your yoga class this morning. Hi to Jude and Dill! Hope everyone has a great day. I get my cortisone shot in my knuckle today and will be asking the doc about that surgery. 24 more please and thank you.

Interesting about your northern home, Rava. What a great solution.

Lots of rain here today.

I am so dizzy & weak from this vitamin B6 toxicity and withdrawal. I overdid it on Monday with trying to knock out the week’s cleaning & laundry in one day, which exhausted me and strained my foot (the one that walks on the built-up sole) badly too. Swimming on Tuesday was too much for me as well. I’m a mess.

Good luck with the new tractor and Spring seeding, Cowboy!

[Ginger999]

Late check in! Lots going on.

Slo, thinking of you. Hope you feel better soon.

ABC, good luck with seeding. Looking forward to pics.

Rava, safe travels when you do head north!

Dill and Jude, my sister just brought us a big bowl of potato salad. I was delicious! Tis the season.

Hey Mul, hope all is well!

I'll take another day of freedom

[Jude58]

Cowboy, how far is the farm from your house in Veg? Looking forward to some videos of you working the fields.

Slo, hope that you feel better soon. I used to try and do too much in one day, and it always left me exhausted. Now I try to do a little each day instead of one big marathon and it really helps.

Rava, your tiny house sounds perfect! What did your doctor say about having knuckle surgery?

Hey Mul! Hope that you are doing ok.

24 more please...

Good morning Cafe. Slo, I hope you get your strength back and feel better soon! Jude, the doc said that as long as I am successfully managed with the cortisone injections that he would not recommend the surgery. Only if the injections stop working. So that is fine with me. I am hoping this injection will last me until I return to florida in 6 months. I like this hand doc because he gives a shot using an ultrasound machine to make sure he injects in the perfect area. My previous docs did not do that. Well i hope everyone has a good and sober day. 24 more for us alll!

As I sit and look out the window this morning I see that the Northern Red Oak is leafing out. I love that tree. We planted it in my Dad's memory when he died back in 2002. It really offers a lot of nice shade in the summer.

Cowboy, I think you'll be too busy to be terribly lonely, but I'm glad you have planned visits with Bubba.

Jude, I think Mr. D and I are going to buy a few more fish and at the same time, some frog tadpoles. I love the sound of bullfrogs, don't you?

Ginger, I wondered if you would be pursuing hand crafts since your mobility is limited. I'll be you are frustrated with that darned old osteoarthritis.! I wish I could wave a magic wand and fix it for you.

Rava you and Mr. R really have made some excellent choices in terms of your homes and how you manage your time between the two places!

Hellooooo, Mul!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Bubba used to come out and spend the odd night with me when we lived in Vermilion Rava, but she hasn't done that since we moved to Vegreville. She'll make a trip out to drop something off in the camper if I run out of something, but otherwise we won't see each other till we get rained out or finish seeding. Did you learn anything about a knuckle replacement from your Doc?

The farm is about a 40 minute drive from Veg Jude, about 10 minutes longer than it was from Vermilion. Too much travelling to go home every night so that's why I stay in the camper.

We all have to learn to slow down and take things easier as we get older Slo, I'm thinking a house cleaner might be a good idea for you.

I did take a short video yesterday, I'll try and get it uploaded today. We finished the peas yesterday and switched over to oats to seed a field for green feed. This is a new piece of land Corey just rented, it was a buffalo pasture for years and now going to be farmed. Should make for an interesting day lol.

Waves to dill and Ginger, have a great day everyone!

[Ginger999]

Dill, I absolutely believe the hand went when I switched from hiking/walking to crafts. Advanced osteoarthritis is no joke, I'll tell you that! I had a hand appointment yesterday and they tell me nothing left to do but a cmc joint replacement. I'll be pondering that until I see the surgeon on June 15. They said it takes up to a year to be back to normal. Enough of that! Counting my blessings. It could be so much worse.

One day down, ABC!

Hey Jude, Slo, Rava, Mul!

Let's all have an easy AF day!
