sure why not


You fit in with:
Spiritualism


Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms.

60% spiritual.
40% reason-oriented.

Well, looks like it could be a nice Halloween this year. Crystal wants to be a fairy or a princess, seems to me last years custome was also either a fairy or a princess depending on whether your wore the wings or not. Now I only have to find the parts of last years costume hmmm, could be easier said than done.

So, the plant that I tried to kill about four years ago, by moving from saskatoon to carrot river in forty below weather in december is still alive. I ripped the branches off as it was about seven feet tall and in my way, now the branches are about two feet tall and sprouting shoots like crazy, I have tried freezing, chopping and not watering but this plant seems to enjoy mocking my attempts to git rid of it.

hmmm, for six hundred dollars, I can have high speed internet in rural saskatchewan. Inet 2000 offers high speed internet and is not a line of sight tower high speed internet either. My phone line would no longer be tied up, and I could download at the speed of light. hmmm, too bad I don't have an extra six hundred dollars. Sooooo, for now, yucky old sasktel dialup will have to do.

saskenergy has taken out an ad in the local paper, warning all of us of their intention to ask for a 41% rate increase to be charged to all of us who are their captive customers. I find this such a farce, why they would bother to waste money on the ad requesting the rate reveiw board to let them increase the costs by 41% when they have not been turned down for a rate increase at any time in the past that I can ever remember. why not just put out an ad that states Ok all you hostages to your furnace you will now pay 41% percent more to save your silly asses from freezing this winter when it is forty below, hmmm 40 below 41% rate increase I think I see a connection here.

Next week I am putting an ad in the paper requesting the rate reveiw board to consider a 41% increase to the price of flax, wheat, barley oats etc due to the high cost of fuel and sask energy bills. lol.....

one truck full of wheat has been combined, now we will see how well the dryer works tomorrow.

Monday, October 10, 2005

well, the sun is shining the forecast is great, perhaps we will be able to harvest after all. I have been able to dig two pails of dandelion roots in the lovely sunshine. they smell soooo good when they are roasting.

ok, I understand that I have been tagged so here is the line from the 23rd post the fifth line, " It was so good we bought two loaves of homemade bread to take home with us." Now unfortunately everyone that I know that has a blog has already been tagged.
hmmm, I could really use Adobe photoshop, sooooo who got my name for christmas again?? Oh well, I guess a fifty dollar maximum wont get me adobe photoshop.

We must officially be farmers now, gerald has just purchased his first combine. a 1983 massey ferguson for $1500.00 a far cry from the 150,000.00 the new ones cost. Hopefully it will combine just as well as the 150,000.00 one only for a lot less money.

wow, our first order. Twenty one, nasturtium/black pansy jelly, twenty one black pansy sugars and eight red clover blossom pancake syrups. Delivered to PA on wednesday. Fortunately I still have some nasturtiums and black pansies growing. Arianna will be happy xmas money for her, as the sugars are her product.

Friday, September 30, 2005

harumph, well, I've been diligently covering the nasturtiums and black pansies to save them fora few more batches of jelly. Convinced that nothing could or would kill the portulaca and that there would be portulaca until the end of october for garlic butter, aahh not so. The minus three with an inch of white frost destroyed the portulaca. Now I am craving portulaca butter and since it was such a good seller and I wasn't concerned with the life span of the supply I have none for myself. hmmm.

The artist in the family has come up with an exceptional label. The computer science guy, is putting together an exceptional website and the process engineer will have to come up with an exceptional process to reduce the labour costs on our products. Nice to have so many talented people in the family. Special note to lynette, when Ang comes out next, I will send some goodies for your family to try. i would have sent something this weekend, but didnt read your comment until to day.

We have the new red clover blossom pancake syrup bottle, all we need now is an exciting label, more red clover blossoms and a gaggle of customers.

Well, Max the neutered dog, seems to think he still has something to prove. Cadbury the old lady doesnt seems impressed. Life for Max is a new challenge, the farm has a lot more things to bark at and chase than town does. It will be interesting to see what happens when one of the things max chases, turns around and chases him back, particularly if it turns out to be a porcupine or a skunk.

Thursday, September 15, 2005

well, life at the farm is interesting, wet lately, quiet and has the distinct disadvantage of forcing me to go back to dial up internet. aaaaargggh. Oh well. we have an exciting plethora of products for the giant flea market in melfort on saturday. such as the likes of roasted dandelion root coffee, black pansy jelly, stinging nettle tea, black pansy sugar, garlic portulaca butter, creamy chickweed salad dressing, nasturtium and lemon butter, nasturtium cream cheese spread, toasted evening primrose seeds, nasturtium and jalapeno jelly, red clover blossom pancake syrup, all purpose extra special salve made with cocoa butter, jojoba oil, rose hip oil, tea tree oil, dandelion, portulaca, red clover, plantain infused oils, vitamin e, ecchinaccea, st. john wort and natural bees wax.
