Oats. Oats. Oats!

Kurtis planted the oats. I screened the oats. Not all the oats. But a lot. At least if you were screening gold you'd get fame and riches out of it lol. Not the case with oats. You just get oats in a seed drill and straw and dandelions and dead insects blowing all over you. And sore arms. However! We got all the cultivating done and the oats planted before the rain hit. It's meant to rain solid for the rest of the week so I'm trying to remember where my gumboots are! I'm starting work today with the lady who wants help with getting her house cleaned and other odd jobs done...so that'll be a few dollars!!!!! Yay! Not enough for a plane ticket, but maybe one day...
I think we've perfected how to cook a roast. Thanks to Adam and Khatt sending us the details! YUM! And then the best part is that you have leftover roast beef which you fry up with cheese and onion and have on a wrap with sour cream and stuff mmmmm and the roast vegies are like candy :D
I shall end with a joke I heard on the radio yesterday morning...
A lady named Mary Katherine decides to join a convent. She walks to the nearest convent and the head of the convent comes to the gate when she rings the bell. Mary Katherine tells him she'd like to join the convent.
"Certainly!" the man says. "This is a convent of silence. I am allowed to speak but none of the sisters must ever speak unless they are directed to. You may stay with us in this convent for as long as you choose."
Mary Katherine decides she still wants to join and soon she is Sister Mary Katherine.
After five years in the convent, the head calls her into his office and says "Sister Mary Katherine, you've been here for five years. Today you may speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherines says, "Hard bed."
The head apologizes and promises to replace it with a softer, more comfortable bed.
Another five years pass and Sister Mary Katherine has been in the convent for ten years. The head again calls her to his office and says, "Sister Mary Katherine, you've been here for ten years now! You may again speak two words today."
Sister Mary Katherine says, "Cold food."
The head apologizes and says, "I promise the food will be better from now on!"
Another five years go by and Sister Mary Katherine has reached her fifteenth year in the convent. The head calls her to his office and says, "Sister Mary Katherine, you've now been with us in this convent for fifteen years! You may speak two words today."
Sister Mary Katherine says, "I quit."
The head shrugs and says, "Yeah, probably just as well. You've done nothing but complain since you got here!"
