If you like rabbit, they are a great source of manure and soil improvement, as well as eating.... I am a "big baby" and cannot kill them myself... always wanted...
Did you find any fish wanting to become "pasture raised" instead of pond raised???? I can remember as a kid we had a pond that over flowed during some extreme rain and had several in the grass that us kids managed to catch and put back in the pond as it went down....
It is so windy here today... the forecast was for today to be the worst... it seems to be, but it has been windy the last 3 days.... Chilly with temps up to 64... It is warmer today but wind actually makes it feel colder than yesterday... and that was chilly at 50.....
Rain Friday/Sat is looking...
Thanks for all the links/tips. Ordered some from the seed nerds that @Mini Horses referenced... they also have the Country Gentleman "shoe peg" white corn I like... open pollinated... so hope to save some seed for next year after I get it all grown/planted/harvested. See how it goes with them...
No snow but CHILLY.... 26 this morning... winds have been real cold... severe fire danger with the gusty winds here... several small "ish" fires... 10-20 acres... one 80 acres is now 100% contained 30 miles north. Want to burn my brush pile but NOT HAPPENING until we get some real rain...
If you make the bags a little big for small amounts, or use the premade ones, go to the bigger size, and then when you cut off the sealed end, you can usually reuse them at least once more after washing and all.

Looking for just this type... doesn't have to be handsome(although he's not bad looking!!!!) .... HANDY..... is essential... a few years younger than me to take care of the "heavy lifting" would be nice...got freezers full of food, good roof overhead, garden space...
Please say some prayers for the people in the panhandle area of Texas and into Oklahoma... the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire has devastated over 1 MILLION acres of land... burnt untold number of buildings... 2 people died and no one has any idea of the number of cattle lost already.
It is maybe 15 %...
Keep going back to that picture of Tank... you can practically see him coking his head from side to side saying.... Okay, I think this is what you want... right?
We had that temp swing.... 61 Wed during the day... woke up to 25 this (Thursday) morning... Had .3 inch rain in the afternoon into evening then the cold swept in on some really bad gusty wind... Took a big dead tree down at the farm across driveway, and a smaller dead one next to the smaller...
