Well, right before Thanksgiving I bent over to pick up a lightweight folding chair and wham! was flat on my back for a week. They put me on steroids and pain killers and it got better but I aggrivated it again about a month ago. It was so bad I called the dr and scheduled PT to see if we could...

We just had the weird weather this past weekend...70s one day and 6 inches of snow the next 2 and now back up to almost 80 today.....it's enough to make a person crack :barnie

Well, hubby is better...didn't take all 5 days of Tamiflu but I did manage to get him to take 3 days worth. I also made another pot of chicken noodle soup and he is still eating on that. He called me this morning from work and said he found out that somebody else left on Friday with the flu as...

Well, he spent all day in bed yesterday and ate some homemade chicken noodle soup (I will never buy canned again, it was so easy) and this morning he is obviously bored and cleaned both bathrooms while I cleaned the rest of the house and finished up breakfast and now he is out building 2 nesting...

I know, right? The sun is shining and they don't wanna go out. :he I'd go out with them but I still have laundry going and the soup on the stove that I need to keep an eye on.

I had to find the instructions in a book from the library but here is what Robin Mather says in "The Feast Nearby" "I separate the eggs, place the white from each egg into a compartment of an ice cube tray, and then pop the frozen whites into zip-top freezer bags. They whip frothy merangues and...

You can freeze eggs....you did know that right? :D

So the flu has decided to pay us a visit. Hubby came home yesterday miserable and was up all night with joint pain. He went to the doctor this morning and got tamiflu and is sleeping finally. I'm making him some chicken soup from scratch...I may throw some orzo in it later though. It tastes...

Oh, and I started up a new beekeeping thread in the livestock section....no pictures yet but when it warms up a bit we'll definitely have some. :cool:

:lol: You really want to know? Here's the link to last year's journal. It is start to finish of last year's journey. I got started with meetings for the entire year before I even purchased bees and got our first 2 nucs in May of last year. They are both still alive with one having a TON of bees...

yeah, I know how it is...it's hard when you were trained to drink coffee with lots of cream and sugar. :P Granny used to give it too us as kids and it was about half milk and half coffee with like 2 spoonfulls of sugar. It's a wonder I have any teeth. She also used to give us a spoonful of sugar...

got any new photos folks???

The only thing I am currently a real stickler on is math practice and writing practice. I have some workbooks that my kids hate but they get to pick 2 pages from each section every day so that makes it easier. Yesterday my son did addition and today he did fractions and measuring. I don't care...

So I figured I would start a new thread for the new year. Last year was my first year as a beekeeper and I learned a lot. This has been a particularly mild winter and we are off to a weird start. The bees are out flying much more than they would normally be right now so it is important to...

Well....how many acres you have depends on a lot of things. Wooded area is great if you want goats cause they love to browse in some wooded area so if you fenced in some of the woods with pasture in the front then that would be perfect for the goats. You could put the housing in the pasture...

Gosh, it's been a while....well, let's see. Bunnies are fattening up nicely so hopefully sometime end of next week I'll have 2 litters of babies and then one more in the next week or so. Bethoron is getting tight as a tick. She's due second week of April but is so tight around her middle...

I don't know what we'll get back this year but we have to set aside $2000 every year for personal property taxes and real estate taxes cause our mortgage company doesn't factor them in to our mortgage payment so we have to do the whole lump sum at once every year in June. The rest will go...

here's an excellent chart for companion gardening!!! http://www.gb0063551.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/seeog/companion/

My babies are coming home today!!!!! I miss my kids. :D

Well, it seems I am dealing with a copper deficiency with the goats. I ordered some Copasure and I will dose everyone as soon as it gets here. Tally has definite fishtail, Aliana looks like she has the beginnings of a fishtail and Tally's coat looks awful and is turning rusty. I examined her...
