Monday -- back to work day. It'll be the shortest work day this week. Tue-Thur will be 10 hr each + drive time. But that gives me Fri-Sun at home to do planned fence changes. Yesterday I mowed the strips for a new section of electric to move animals into another fenced grazing area via a...

Nice that you had some help!

FJ that plate of ckn parm looks really good! :drool Here-- last night I had a bowl of buttered, baby brussel sprouts. Tasty. Yeah, just that one thing. 🤷. But I'd had a big lunch of pulled pork BBQ on a roll with slaw & chips.

Oh, remember ICE collected the farm workers -- who were stealing our jobs 😵‍💫😳🤬 -- now many crops aren't being harvested, no workers. 🤐

Weather....sadly, so true & devastating. Some farmers in South of us can't even plant really, wasted seed. Plus some ground just too messed up to even work it. Things planted will have poor yield. Pretty scary really -- financially for farmers, consumers will be paying more for what little...

So, you think that you know better than her about the egg hatching?? :lol: :lol: nope, she has better genetics for that. Let her be. When it's warmer, they can/do stay off just a little longer...esp in last half of set. Happy Mother's Day, everyone. Had my coffee, checked all water troughs...

They're sure looking good! :old :drool

Don't be afraid of pressure canning. Many of the "horror stories" were from times back when they didn't have the safety feature the do now. First time might be a nervous event 😵‍💫😉 but, then it's a breeze. I actually like to can but, sometimes the food prep is time consuming.

Same attitude here -- need more!! Coffee & time. 🥴

Yes!! I remember that 70s gas "shortage".... My uncle worked for BP. Said not shortage, they had gas everywhere stored! Higher prices. My driving is 99% to go to work!! And we had rain all day, soft rain. Not sure how much yet but a welcome amount!! 😁

Gas was $4.19 today at fill up....some stations were at $4.29 🥴 only needed 3/4 tank but $69. still. Tmrw the car gets a fill. :oops: dang.

Depending on location, there are a lot of root crops that can stay in the ground a lot longer into "winter" than you might have even considered before -- easy storage. Carrots, turnips, parsnips, beets, potatoes, etc. And collards, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, can survive some pretty cold...

Still cool here on East Coast... :idunno

My goats are friendly -- sometimes too much so 😁 They have big personalities, memory like an elephant, and super smart! Be careful, you'll become attached.

Wasn't eating apples I got on super sale, almost free 🤫, and a few were getting soft. Those went to goats & chickens for treats. I peeled & diced. Canned 3 quarts. I'll use them eventually. 😁
