    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    It isn't frigid in my house 😂 I mean, 66-68 is fine with clothes on. Temps lower at night, so cooler at get up. When outside temps drop more, I do heat more. But I do not sit in short sleeved t-shirts & up the thermostat. :old I don't use my central unit often because I don't want to heat...

    What's for dinner?

    Thanks -- you reminded me I have a ham bone in the freezer. No black- eyed peas but, plenty other beans. Hmmmm. I'm hankering for veggie soup, might do that instead. Time at home has me cooking! 😄

    I am "someplace warm" for most of the year. Just can't figure how to eliminate winter. 🤔😵‍💫 Jan/Feb are our coldest....guess you know tomorrow that begins. This morn is a feel like of 23* so break ice on water day. That's not terrible as it's above freeze daytime. However, that'll change...

    Some Youtube videos are quite good!! Mostly the "watch me" repair ones. Good luck. Cheaper than a new unit -- which also may not work as well or last as long. 👍😉

    What are your go-to tips for making the most of your harvest each season?

    Aha....time for spring garden dreams 🥰 Some of us are still able to grow. Some are planning for plant starts. Some are too cold, or even snowed in. But our spirit is awakening! 30-45 days and I'll be putting seeds in starting pots.

    Whatever front is moving thru has brought strong wind! Steady 20+ mph & dropping temps, misty rain. Ruined my day! 😞

    Old-time Holiday Traditions

    Christmas at my maternal grands was helping decorate the tree. They'd cut one out of the woods. Decorations were some collected balls, popcorn strung up and paper garlands. They had no electric so, no lights. Presents were rarely more than one per person. Of course there was a bag of hard...

    I need colostrum for freezer this year!! Totally out. But looks like I'll get lucky soon. First two bagging are 1 dairy & 1 boer. Both have been heavy milk producers. Thinking mid Jan 🤷 better get a couple stalls ready. Weather we've had is just too strange and colder, earlier. I need a...

    Since I'm only one eating, potato flakes work nicely. Yep, no peeling, cooking, mashing -- hot liquid, stir, set a couple minutes. Works for me. If more people, I'll go the peel route. 😁 One package has 2 meals for me. 🤷
