LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH

 Sister in law, went into AFIB and they found a lump at her pancreas. The surgeon said it didn't look to be cancer but being a nurse she went Googling it and said she's sure it is. She has long term Covid. Lump was removed and sent for testing. Her heart doctor will see her Monday.

Mother in Law didn't use her walker and fell AGAIN. Doesn't help that she has polio and heart medication that does increase the chance of falling.Still she's been using a walker for YEARS so we are trying to figure out why she isn't using it now.

Son2 has hired a lawyer to deal with his civil side of military of work that doesn't agree with the Army side that he is disabled and Army put him disablity with pension...SIGH. 

We now have wasps to go along with the yellow jackets and bees(not honey bees as we had E come check) so since the wasps nests are 20 ft up in the area ,we hired that to be dealt with. I am highly allergic. Decided when Hubby seen termites in the woods across from us (not were we get our wood) that he would have a contract for quartly inspection. Last year it was RED ants. Actually will be less than the costs he was spending on sprays and such.I kept track LOL.

 Our hog could be butchered anywhere from end of Sept to Dec. I defrosted the pork deep freezer. Cooked sausage to make 52 meals of sausage crumbles (pizza, casseroles, etc). Inventoried what was left. I need to move a bit yet but can just stack it. Son2 is taking some of it.

Beef (1/2 steer) is coming in December. I will defrost and inventory the beef deep freezer before then.

I need to defrost the poultry/seafood/veggie deep freezer next as Turkeys will be coming on sale in Nov. 

I canned 14 qrts. and 8 pints of M's veggie soup. I thought Hubby was going to stick his head in the pot I made it in LOL. I did scrap out a bowl for him. 

I paid the bills and changed it to to paying all of them midmonth. I deduct the automaticwtihdrawls/pays also. 

The 250 truck needs to go in for oil change etc tomorrow.

The silverado will be next month, maybe.

I paid the bill for the stuff we needed for replacing insulation in pump house. Hubby took out the damaged insulation, repaired a couple studs and started installing the new insulation and a vinyl wall to help protect the insulation if a pipe blows again. He ordered a 10 cubic "clean up" bin from our refuse company. That is paid already.

Our house and auto ins agent left the company so we have a new agent. Actually is within 30 miles of us instead of 90 minutes since we moved to the farm.

The electric is DOWN $10. Instead of running the AC we are running the furnance as it's too warm (for us) to use the wood/coal stove. I turn the furnance off when the day is up to 68 but nights are around 40 degrees. NO rain, pond is really low, cisterns are drying up for several Amish, ours is low. Can tell the deep well is low also. 

I only got dairy and some salads at the grocery store. 

We harvested tomatoes (in freezer to can sauce later), eggplant,and winter squash.

I know we will be harvesting more winter squash, potatoes and eggplant this coming week.  Not sure about anything else. Sweet potato vines are starting to die so I will be checking on their sizes before I start harvesting. 

Hubby was given some firewood that needs cut so he's been working off and on dealing with that even though we don't need it for this coming winter.

Charlotte is due for her shots so we will get her nails cut also when we take her at the end of the month when we got to chiro. 

I decorated for fall.... still need to do deep cleaning and change out curtains. But decorations are up and done. 

I pray you are all well, stable in your homes and doing decent. 

Prayers for peace and healing

Blessed be
