Thursday

My day is going great. I am peeling potatoes and getting ready to can them so I can open a jar of potatoes and make soup in a moments notice.  I may decide against ever canning potatoes again but maybe it will be good. 

I made my daughter a beautiful poncho. She and my son in law live on our little farm. They raise cows and pigs and other animals for food and for selling. They also cut hay for other farmers and they bail it...they work hard. Even in the cold winter, they go out and feed their cattle and also they feed the cattle on one of the largest ranches in AR so they work hard.  She often throws on an old jacket but I know it is bulky and hard for her to work in so she is often taking it off and then she gets chilled. I made a really nice poncho for one of her sons so he could wear it while deer hunting...it's real manly and she loved it and she wears it when he isn't using it at the deer stand. So, I made her one. I used heavy denim and lined it with a light fleece. I thought it was going to be too heavy but it isn't heavy at all.  I decided to put a hood on it too so after I made it, I had to go back and take the neck part out and play with a design until I got the perfect hoodie and it's perfect. I hope I remember how I did it so I can make me one. LOL.   Now all my sewing is done and I can put the sewing machine up until we get moved and get my craft room set up. Yeah.

Today, I am canning those potatoes and fighting with my cat. I swear, two of my *****es sleep all day and never bother me but one complains all day long. She meows and nips at me and I know she isn't hungry, her litter box is clean, and she has water. I think she just wants me to hold her all day and I am not doing it.  She finally fell asleep so when I got up, I was so quiet because I didn't want to wake her up...that's messed up to be so controlled by my animals but I do love her and wouldn't trade her in for three that make no sounds.
