It appears that Billy is going to be called in to service once again to mediate a family meeting between the three sisters. Apparently, Amy has the opportunity to meet with a music producer in Nashville and, Tammy and Amy aren't too keen about Amanda joining them. Amanda doesn't appear to take the news well and, tells Billy "you don't get to tell me to hold up!"

It certainly seems that Tammy and Amy have reconnected as the sibling feud with the others reaches a bit of a boiling point. I'm seriously struggling to understand how a Nashville music producer just happens to reach out to a reality TV star who can't sing and uses a computer generated program to write songs. Amy wouldn't know a B-sharp from an F-flat! 🤦 I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop when Tammy becomes tired of taking a back seat to Amy's imaginary music career. --- "Everything's about Amy. Amy gets everything and, I get nothing. This is a waste of time. I'm outta here." How come I think this season is going to end with a fractured relationship between Tammy and Amy ince again?

It's that time again. We've all seen the weather forecast for this weekend. --- cold with flurries! 😠 So, anything that needs to be harvested is being pulled. We have another half dozen zucchini and some kale. I'll wash and dry the kale and cut into pieces before freezing for winter soups. I'll freeze a handful of peppers for chilies over the winter as well. However, the bulk of those hot 🔥 peppers are going to be turned into a roasted pineapple 🍍 and habanero hot sauce 😋.

The last 10+ pounds of our potatoes 🥔 will be dug up next week. They'll be fine in the ground. And, I've got at least another half dozen small buttercup squash that need a few more weeks of growth before they're harvested. We are going to cover them up well and 🤞 we can harvest them near the end of October.

Edit: Oops, sorry for the double "h" in habanero! Lol

Two guys give her their necklaces, only to turn around and want them back! 🤦 Emma can't handle any amount of rejection without making a scene. Toxic and crazy is Emma in a nutshell!

Not too bad of a harvest today. The tomatoes came off of 2 of our tomato plants and, the potatoes were volunteers. --- they suddenly appeared in June. We're very happy with two massive potatoes and a bunch of smaller ones. Basically, five pounds of potatoes 🥔 from one plant. And, a couple more zucchini to make relish. We still have a long way to go to clear out the gardens. Yesterday. I fernented some purple cabbage, green tomatoes, and sweet potatoes 🥔.

Sadie couldn't help but want to be in the picture. We're very happy she's still with us because a few weeks ago she was quite ill with severe pancreatitis and, she's 12 years old.

I'm really hoping to get two more harvests like this before we have to tear the plants out for winter. I'm leaving them in the garden outside to cure and let the starches convert to sugar and improve the flavor. --- as well as prepare them to be stored during the winter months in the cold storage, until we eat them.

I have had a pretty good harvest of potatoes so far. We still have another above ground garden to harvest and, I'm going to leave them as long as possible before we dig them up because they were planted late. However, I am planning on roasting one of these beauties and mixing squash with some potatoes to make a large batch of gnocchi. I love freezing it. And, in the middle of the winter having some baked squash/potato gnocchi made with our canned roasted tomatoes. I swear, people who don't garden have no idea what they're missing! 😋

The yoga instructor telling Amy that "you have an awesome sister" took me out. He obviously hasn't seen last season! 🤦

And, these two sitting on the couch talking to the producer about how busy their lives are and, Tammy made sure to include the making of the Pounds Hollow music video. She is making sure she helps Amy bake that AI pie. Her cringe worthy bid for attention is showing.

Everything Guillermo said seemed to bring Rebecca to the next level and, it almost seemed like she was taking everything personally. 🤷‍♀️ When she asked Guillermo why he didn't show up to the recommitment ceremony, he responded "because I know my own boundaries." She then accused him of being one of the most negative individuals she's met who takes every opportunity to shame his partner. "You're so condescending... you're always putting her down. It's very hard to listen to..."

Rebecca obviously hasn't looked in the mirror lately because she has publicly shamed Zied for everything from wanting a home cooked meal to some time alone without electronic devices going off to saying that he doesn't have good communication skills to publicly stating that he needs to be financially supported... the list goes on and on.

This is my 12 year old cocker spaniel Sadie who was my first ever foster dog. She came to me with stage 4 periodontal disease and, after she was spayed and had all of her teeth removed, we made the decision to adopt her. She has been with us since February 26, 2020. She has been a pretty healthy dog considering the condition she came in. The one thing we were aways told was to be very aware of her breathing and if she ever presented with a cough. Other than some skin allergies and being a yeasty girl. --- she's been quite healthy.

Nine days ago she didn't want to get up and she was trembling. We (my husband and I) wrapped her up in a blanket and rushed her to the vet. They found that she definitely had a fever and did blood work. She was given a long lasting shot of antibiotics and we brought her home. A couple of days later, the vet called and said that the blood work showed an elevated white blood cell count and inflammation of the pancreas. Basically, she had pancreatitis; however, the white blood cell count indicating an infection was a seperate issue. He was confident that the antibiotic injection 💉 she received would be sufficient.

She never really bounced back before she got worse again and began trembling. She was rushed to the vet where she received fluids, a different long lasting antibiotic injection and, an opioid for pain. She came home and slept all day. When she woke up, there was a resemblance of the little girl I've known and loved for almost 7 years.

That improvement didn't last long. Within 24 hours she was refusing to eat again. I spoke with the vet and expressed my concerns. --- I've done enough foster care and had other dogs that when they aren't bouncing back with the assistance of good vet care. --- it's because there is usually more wrong with them. The only way I can even get her to have an appetite is to give her an appetite stimulant (mirtazapine). And, I seriously believe to the core of my soul that she is much more sick than just with the pancreatitis. She's now at least 12 years old and, I don't want to put her through a bunch of tests when the end result would ultimately be that she can't be fixed.

I am soooo struggling with this decision but, I know that she is experiencing much more bad days than good. If I put a penny in a jar for both good and bad days, the bad day jar would definitely have most of the pennies. This means that her quality of life has decreased quite rapidly. Two weeks ago, she was the dog I've always known and, now she's becoming a shell of the dog I know.

To top it all off, I am preparing for my 7 year old male to go in for an ear ablation. He is going to lose his entire ear canal in his left ear because of a hyperplasia growth. He is another one of my rescues who came from a backyard breeder with no morals or common sense. Just a thirst for money. And, we have given him the best life possible. He has inflammatory bowel disease. He had a knee replacement two years ago. And, now this. 😔

We ended up with just over 30 lbs of potatoes 🥔 from one of our above ground gardens. We still have one more above ground garden to harvest potatoes from. They were planted a month later so we'll be harvesting them in October. We hopefully will be blessed with over 60 lbs of potatoes from our gardens this year. I'm going to make a large batch of gnocchi with about 10 lbs and freeze it for the winter. 😋

When he was first introduced to us, he was nothing more than a red flag. An ex lover who was being disrespectful and inappropriate for staying so close to Mallorie. However, public opinion really shifted after he empathized with Rasit concerning the issue of the prenup and, he and Rasit were able to shake hands and move forward. It turns out he's not a villain but, a stand up guy who's turned into a grassroots favorite. I would love to see him stay on in the 90 day franchise as a cast member.

This is my second year growing buttercup squash. I tried butternut squash on previous years with very little success 🤷‍♀️. Last year we (my husband and me) planted 2 squash plants and ended up with a few dozen squash. This year we planted 6 individual squash plants and, they are doing better than I could have anticipated. So far, I have well over two dozen of the large --- almost ready to pick squash and, dozens more small ones just growing.
