Tidbits

-You know you have flies in the house when you hang a new sticky fly strip and within five minutes is has ten flies on it. Two hours later, over thirty flies have landed on it! Plus, there's still at least a dozen flies roaming the house. All this after both Lanny and I spent an hour swatting flies this morning.

-My car is possessed. I keep having weird, but explainable according to Lanny, things happen while I am driving it. Yet, these things almost always happen when I am driving, never when Lanny is the driver. Except the tape player...It randomly turns on even without a tape in it no matter who is driving.

-We have two escape artists-in-training right now. Never underestimate a calf who is determined to find a bottle or Momma-whichever comes first. Nothing will hold them when they are hungry.

-On top of two Houdini-like calves, we have a steer who somehow manages to sneak into the very places you wouldn't think he could fit. So far, he's snuck out of the holding pen three times into a fenced in area full of boards, cement blocks, and stickers, and managed to fit through three wires of electric fencing into my garden. Thankfully, he only munched the quack grass growing in there. Hmmm...Maybe I should let him in there more regularly if he's such a good 'weed whacker'.

-I wish my sweet corn would hurry up and ripen already. I am craving it something fierce but with 300+ feet of it out in the field, I hate to buy it from the store.

-I will never take having meat in the freezer for granted again. It only takes having your puppies unplug your chest freezer and causing your entire meat supply to spoil to keep that in perspective. Our freezer may smell a bit icky at times, but at least it's got fresh meat in it again.

-Thank Goodness It's Over! Lanny is 'officially' back on a 'regular' diet again! Yay! Wait...He did say he didn't want to eat sugar (or anything derived from sugar) if possible. And he's already talking about another diet idea... I think I'm going to hide his 'milk' books for awhile. They keep giving him ideas...

-Gotta get back to work. There's dishes to wash, flies to swat, a garbage to empty, and a whole list of other chores to finish today. At least I get to go to town tomorrow and hit up some garage sales while I am there! Can't wait!

we have flies and fruit flies. We have a fruit fly trap and fly strips. The fly strips work great for fruit flies as well as regular ones! I really don't like those pesky little buggers. :0) hope your feeling good!
