Shoveling scat

Saturday

I woke up early, hearing what sounded like people in the house, opening doors, etc. I finally got up to check and there was no one. I went back to bed. I slept again, but woke up hearing noises again. It was time to get up anyway, so I did. No one was there, but I could hear artillery firing, which sounded a little like a door slamming.

I brushed my teeth and started taking supplements. I checked messages and listened to interviews. I whipped up a batch of seed crackers and put them in the oven. I made more of the mixes that go into the seed crackers. I peeled the remaining eggs and put them in the pickling juice.

Rachel texted me that she had picked up the load of manure and was on her way to Dugway. She said there was a website for the farm. So I looked at it and saw that if you order enough, they will deliver it for free. And, it is already composted, so it is ready for immediate use.

I got dressed for shoveling. I texted McKenzie to let her know it was composted. I read the article she sent me on how to use it. I went to the garden a little early and the truck was waiting. I showed them where to put the pile of aged manure. No one showed up to help shovel, so they did it and I helped as best I could. After we finished and were sweeping out the last bits, Casey arrived. I paid her. After some chatting, the couple and their grandson left. I put the broom away and got a shovel out for Casey. I took half a bucketful for my compost and left. He got a wheelbarrowful for his garden.

I went home, ate fiber gel and took a shower. Then I made and ate breakfast. I got ready and went to sewing class. Only Saronna's kids came to made the mug caddy. But they did ok. Sophia did really well. We embroidered names with the thrift store embroidery machine. It was hard to program because of the touchscreen, but then it did fine.

I went home. I sat outside and read for awhile. I went into eat the rest of the fiber gel and to heat chicken for supper. I hardboiled two batches of eggs. I ate a carrot while waiting. Chris called to see how things were going. I ate the chicken, then took my trombone and went to the chapel for Project Night.

Sophia was waiting for me. She had chosen an extended hexagon quilt to work on. No one else came for Rhythm class so she and I did it alone. Then I got her started on cutting strips for the hexagon quilt. Casey loaded Mario on the Atari and hooked it to the large TV. I played Mario for awhile, getting a little further than last time. Then we each packed up to go home. However Sophia just took her fabric pieces with her. I had to clean up the ruler and cutter and mat. I also put away all the notions and class fabric. Casey carried the embroidery machine to my car. We locked the chapel and went home.

I drove to Michele's house and put out more food for the cat. I laid on the bed and read a book. The cat laid with me now and then. After too long, I went home. I checked e-mail and watched an episode of Call the Midwife. I looked up how to earn extra credit points with the Dr. Brain game. It was almost midnight and I was about to go to bed when I remembered my blog. I jotted and wrote, posted and went to bed.
