Grandkids have been here since Thursday. We've had a blast! There has been fishing, cooking, swimming, eating, karaoke-ing, Chinese buffet-ing and an epic Monopoly game! Very few farm chores have been accomplished. Too hot to do much anyway. Grandson helped me get the staples out of the...

Stapler intended for veterinary use. However, in a pinch, I'd probably use it on myself, lol. https://jefferspet.com/products/manipler-az-surgical-skin-stapler?_pos=1&_sid=6ae4ccdf7&_ss=r Mine is similar to this one. In fact, I'll probably go ahead and order an extra one to keep on hand...

Thanks for the review!

Have you tasted it? Is it good for drinking or more for cooking?

That's as good a guess as I can come up with. :hu

Yep, that was my guess. Not sad at all that I was able to do it myself, lol! Everyone should have one of those handy-dandy staplers around. It was easy!

Had a little surprise when I went out to feed this morning. Not sure how the heck it happened - but it happened. Before: Called the vet and he's unavailable until the end of the week. So.... got out my trusty stapler, tetanus vaccinations, and got to work. Scrubbed it well, applied and...

Haven't been yet. Waiting for a better day. At this point - maybe October, lol. So much on my "gotta get it done" list. I don't think I'll ever see the bottom of that list. This constant rain isn't helping at all. Along with everything else that needs to be done I need to get some coccidia...

And bossy! I swear, if I'm late my Poppy is standing at the gate screaming at me. Geeze louise!

I've been following in your footsteps and have made ricotta several times in the last couple weeks. Yummy stuff! I want to make some garlic flavored chevre next.

Waded outside this morning to survey the overnight damage. I checked the trusty home weather station and it revealed that our windspeed overnight never topped 20mph. However, it toppled one of the neighbors trees onto my fence. Yay...not. Also blew some crate pads that I had hanging on the...

Gonna pass on the ducks, lol. I've been on the ducks on field trips with students. Great fun if you've never been to Galveston - but if you've been as many times as I have - it's torture! LOL! But, I will admit that I am a terrible tourist. Hard-headed and stubborn and don't generally want...

A mere 4.5 inches of rain today to go along with the 1.5 inches a couple days ago. More to follow tomorrow. Glad I got some things done yesterday including weed whacking around the garden beds, unloading feed and I even baked a loaf of bread along with cooking a semi-gourmet meal. Ok, it was...

Rain...again. Fished for a few minutes yesterday. Caught two mudcats that were not put back in the pond. Caught one decent bass that had a wound on its back. No idea why/how but I'm blaming the stupid herons that hang out there sometimes. Birds need to go away and leave my fish alone!

Yes - different system. They've outlawed those type of systems here. They're grandfathered in as long as they work properly but you can't even get them repaired anymore if you have a problem. You have to install the new aerobic system at major expense. And - they need electricity instead of...
