When you get a Belgian Waffler Maker…. you should let a Belgian Sheepdog test them.
It’s only right, you know.
Well, I was taking a picture of my stash and all the sudden, I hear a weird noise. A digging noise. A ferrets into dirt and digging noise and I freak out.
MY SEEDLINGS!!!!
Yep. My little peas and spinach and lettuce crops…. gone. Dug up by a pair of little fuzzy woozel ferret rototillers.
I thought, well, I could blow a gasket and squeeze the little varmits and yell and all that, but it’s useless. Ferrets have ignoring down to a science. You think a cat can ignore you, ha! Ferrets are basically uninterested in anything vaguely rule related, they just wanna have fun.
So, camera in hand, I just shot a few pictures, then gathered up the little heathens and popped them back in their cage. They had fineagled themselves out of their cage like the little hardened criminals that they are. We do let them free range at times, but under supervision.
Or else you end up with dirt all over the place!!!
Oh well, my indoor plants were not doing well anyway. I am just giving up on the whole “start seeds inside early” thought process. I just don’t have the room, and I have kitties and ferrets that are just dying to mess with them.
It’s why I’m having two beautiful cold frames made and they are gonna be delivered this week!!! Yah!!!
Can’t wait!
Sunday afternoon, I was feeling like I needed to get out a bit and wander and well, Gypsy and I hit the thrift stores and then went to Swan Creek Metropark and walked 2 miles on the trails! It was a nice afternoon. Oh, I got my hair cut too. It was getting a little too long and shaggy, and well, since I hadn’t had one since last August, I figured it was worth a quick-cut splurge.
But the best deal of the day, had to be my Goodwill haul! I got a nice little Belgian waffle maker ($5!) and some cute little jars that I want to craft with, 3 neat books, a pair of mismatched candles for my wax stash, and a nice little rectangular Pyrex pan and two little loaf pans! $13 total.
What I thought was interesting was that the store was packed! There were all sorts of people there, the parking lot was full. I think people are starting to get a clue… random spending and shopping is best done by thrify means. I know, I know.. the economy. Yep, I tell you, it’s going to be a hot year for garage sales! Everyone and their brother is going to be having good sales as they try and make a little extra cash to get by. You are going to see lots of luxury type items in people’s yards, I suspect. Okay, maybe not like 84 inch plasma TVs, but still, I suspect a lot of gadgets and fancy cookware and clothing, shoes, purses, and such will be ending up in the garage sale piles.
I got a couple good reading books for my stash and more glassware. I believe I might need a 12 step program, I am getting a little bit out of control with my glass addiction. I’m going to use the little ones to make wire and glass hanging candle burners for the yard this summer. That will be cool.
