    Goats

    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.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    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. 😁

    Frugal Gardening: Growing Your Own Food Without Breaking the Bank

    This year I consider it to be a HUGE need/consideration for everyone to grow some portion of their food. The economy is not getting better & costs, plus weather, is going to impact farmers in way we haven't seen in a loooong time!! Summer & Fall will have far more costs for food bought.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Still having cooler than normal here. Mostly dry. We had some spotty rain here yesterday per DD & puddles by the road. I was gone all day tho. Had our semi annual meet up with some other people from BYH forum 🥰 ... Fun. It was pretty chilly there, mainly due to a constant light wind...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I always check store prices to keep myself in line & appreciate my time spent in prep/canning. Been doing a good amount of meats. A pint of chicken, home canned is a solid 16oz. I add nothing beyond salt, finished product has some broth. Maybe 2oz. A small can at store is 12oz, 3...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    My mower is gas BUT, I let my goats do the back & side...so less to mow. I'm good with that amount. Now, diesel for tractor to bushhog fields... 😵‍💫 Gotta bite the bullet sometimes. Goats keeps most down for me.... occasional tractor therapy tho.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I have some ham & some pork loin canned. It's been good. Convenience factor is great. DO IT ! 😀 Day trip planned for tmrw but I have cabbage & thinking I'd like to can some stuffed cabbage rolls. You know, make all the "mess" in one go for several meals. 😆 Maybe Sunday

    For many, that rain would be a huge blessing. Savor it. The southeast is having a major drought -- big farming disaster. Crop losses. It's something everyone will feel at the stores come summer & fall. 🥴 NC, GA, FL...serious setbacks. I'm seeing some yard gardens this yr that weren't as used...

    What's for dinner?

    Had some veggie lasagna, from my freezer. Looks like the last of it 🙁 I'll need to replenish soon. It's helpful to have some meals made up for when I work long days -- keeps my eating in line 👍. Stuffed peppers will be replenished this summer...only a couple left. Those PB/cheese cracker nabs...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Ahhh -- greenhouse envy.😁 One here would be nice but, don't see it making it's way to top of my list. Changed up job schedule & spent the day at home. I was productive tho -- laundry, dishes(DW even emptied!) canned, ran errands. Topped all water troughs, hugged some goat kids. Worked thru it...

    What's for dinner?

    A few oz of pork loin wouldn't fit in above jars, so stir fry with peppers & onions from freezer.
