Ahhh, taking a rest. It is actually quite warm out there in the sunshine. I ran to town earlier to get a few things.....came home and planted the 8 flower boxes on the front porch...Lemon Thyme, red petunias, and Moss Roses. The lemon Thyme is to keep the cats out,( plus it will be great with...

Wow, mid April....already! Things are humming right along here...well, more like everything is moving in a flurry! BIL is here for the week to help hubby get a few of the bigger, harder projects done outside. They fixed the siding and eaves on the house that were lifted from the last storm...

SSDreamin : I too am still struggling with the loss of our son, he was 29, and a great father....I wear my emotions on my sleeve....and cry a lot still....One reason I like to do these jobs, it lets me cry, scream, get angry...and I get paid to do it. :/ Thanks Bee....life has been so busy here...

Well, here we are at the end of March....or towards the end of March....and the weather is still crazy! My little beets and peas are coming up, and I could NOT be happier. It won't be long until I will be in a canning frenzy, I hope....pickling beets! Yeah!! So I decided to let Freedom go to...

:P ;)

I have a "secret" recipe for pickled beets....even my finicky little sister BEGS for my beets. :P Hubby and I can't get enough....so I am planting 3 times what I normally plant. The winds today are....well....WOW!!! We had a little micro burst this morning....and I actually thought it was going...

Ahhh, February....a time when spring fever really hits home! The weather was so nice yesterday, I was able to get in the garden and get it cleaned and prepped for early plantings. Beets...lots and lots of beets this year. However, Mother nature is telling me today....Oh, I don't think so! We are...

BB, I am so sorry. We too had an unwelcome visitor of the canine variety. He got 4 hens and a rooster!! I popped a few shots at him, but he was able to run off. Not sure if I made contact or not. We are down to 7 hens and 2 roosters, one hen is old and blind. :rolleyes: I am collecting eggs for...

We have been watching it....more for the entertainment value. I mean, sure, these people are "prepared" to some extent....But honestly....why on earth would you chose to go on natonal tv, and let everyone know where you are and what you have? I think this show is backed by the government, luring...

I have several...and I mean, a few cases of the blue/green jars. I use mine for my goats milk, and dry goods, beans and such. Who knew they could be worth money?? LOL

The ducks didn't just " go back in" we "danced" around the coops a few times before they decided mom might have had enough, and they could tell by the screaming words...ROASTED DUCK, DUCK SOUP....ROAST GOOSE....and a few other words I will not post on here. LOL I am sure after a few times, they...

So, today is the first day I have let the ducks out in months. Well....since I have moved them to their new digs. I am hoping that they will go back in on their own tonight. They sure were happy to be out and running...splashing in CLEAN puddles! Their run is a soupy, goopy mess of mud. I am so...

We did exactly that, x's 3! LOL We have a few shelters like that on the property. One we put together 3 of them, and made a shed for the donkey! He LOVES it! Here are a few of the crates we have gotten so far.

So, hubby brought home 2 more large...and I mean LARGE pine crates. They get molds shipped in them, so they are very well built, and strong. The 2 he brought home last nite were 5 ft tall....and roughly 4 ft square. There are 3 more he still needs to get from work, 2 at a time. :D We sat down...

Maybe if it was sharpened up it could be. I tried to use it today, in the dirt...lets just say...it was not meant for a 5 ft tall person to use. LOL Hubby thinks it was made for making holes to set plants in, in the garden. Either way....12 tools, $10. Not bad....we are going to sharpen up and...

YIKES!!!! Glad all went well tho. I just love em...can't seem to get enough, and now that this crazy weather is warming up, I am hoping to get a few more... LOL

Congrats! That is a great deal!

Being it is only the 2 of us, we don't get much, if any back from federal...and we almost always PAY state. It sucks! I DREAD tax time!!! :hide

Oh, LOL, I meant doomed for this summer. I think we might have a hot dry summer as well. So, I am going to try to get as many rain barrels as I can, and get them all lined up and hooked together, so they can fill up. I wont get us through a dry summer...but it will help! I just wish I had the...

Awww, thanks for the kind words Bee. Seems I have been so busy, I see myself coming and going...like a mirror image. And, its not even spring! Ohhh, I am doomed I say...doomed!! Because winter seems to have forgotten us...tomorrow is going to be sunny and 63....and I was lazy about putting the...
