the goats and sheep are near our house over by the dog park so i got to see then twice this day on Monday before i headed out to the farmers market and then to my girlfriends daughter's house. don't you just love this picture he or she not sure is so cute!

August 10Th, Monday i decided to head over to green acres i need to do my fall planting i manage to plant my Brussels sprouts, cabbage i am going to retry my lettuce, i also got spinach. next time i need to get carrots and potatoes maybe green onions.

the sheep and goats hanging out i love this about Lincoln they let a local farmer graze on our wet lands it makes so much since if they are protected then their poop will help with the landscape even the blackberries.

August 5Th Tuesday i head out made a pit stop at the dog park i had not been there yet since they opened it, i love it it is huge with 3 different areas smaller dogs and then bigger dogs and then like a agility area we will have to bring our dogs there and the area they have kept natural looking with large cement walkways i really think Lincoln did a great job!

Sunday august 2ND,2009 we got up and had breakfast at awful Annie's yum they have the best breakfast in this area! then i headed to Lowe's i was good i only brought about 20.00 dollars in plants and i planted them too mostly ferns up against the house in the back it was a nice day not too hot i went swimming Ronnie was to chicken but the water was cool. he BBQ chicken for dinner and we had left overs we watched the next food network star the blood won we both liked the longed haired guy Jeffery oh well i bet he gets a show.

August 1st July 2009 i got up and headed to rose ville i hit the goodwill store i got 4bags of clothes cute stuff i pair of jeans still has a Macy's tag on it no one ever wore these jeans and i got them for 15 dollars. then to bevmo for cherry rum it is our new favorite with coke. we invited val and Dave over Ronnie made pork chops and fried rice with green beans from guy's restaurant, and then for dessert i made a Carmel, nut sauce over pineapple and ice cream.

Thursday i worked 30Th i got there early because there was a book i wanted at the bookstore well 5 books later and to much money spent i was still early i was marked down as a float just to help out so i didn't have to get any info regarding all the patients so i read then when i go there there was no nurse for 5 patients. well guess who had to take a team me believe me i was a little peied off i got a sorry from 1 person but it wasn't her fault. Friday 31st 2009 our social worker is checking out the house for a safety check so we over cleaned we were both just nervous as to someone coming in and judging us, but i think it went well she even left with jelly. i am sure she thinks we are some kind of hippies growing our food and canning or jamming. after that we decided we needed a treat so we got sushi at ninja sushi here in town it's pretty good. after that we decided to head to walmart to to our weekly shopping boy that place is always busy but left out of there with hundred dollars of groceries and i am sure we could eat off it for 2 weeks. i decided to can my okra Ronnie helped. i cant wait i love picked okra!!

wed 29Th July 2009 i am off today we have adoption/foster class every wed so this is our second class we went alone this day because Lisa is out of town this class was OK no guest speakers just a short movie on discipline and how you should discipline. we were a hour early because we didn't know how long it would take us so i think when blackberries are ready to pick we will go early because they are everywhere along the mountain drive we take to get there.

Monday 27, July 2009 i was off so i decided to pickle some of the peppers we have growing before they all go bad Ronnie cant eat them fast enough. he is excited but he will have to wait 3 weeks before he opens a jar! i also headed out to the farmers market for veggies for dinner. i always try to go to any local farmers market we need to support these farmers the closer to home you get your veggies the less of a carbon print you will leave on the earth OK i will stop with the sermon. Tue 28Th i headed out to the farmers market in rose ville i got okra to pickle and i was suppose to meet my friend but my car wouldn't start when i was trying to leave whole foods i tried saving the parking space next to me and i got the dirtiest looks from people there was room but people didn't understand , this upset me, but i did have 3 people come for me and 2 people to offer to come get me so i know i am loved! but trying to keep that space was tiring mental so i decided to go home instead of heading out to my girlfriends house. we made tacos for dinner and invited val we thought she may be a fishing widow but Dave got home early so they both joined us for dinner.

July 25Th , i got called off so Ronnie and i went to Dave and Val's she made clam linguine yummy i came home early my stomach was jacked up for the last 2 days who knows what it was but we came home and watched a movie called bottle shock it was a history of how California wine got noticed in France, i liked it. The 26Th i worked Sunday.
