Not giving up on the ugly fabric, but trying to make my money back on what I'm keeping! :) I figure if I cram those flat-rate boxes as full as I can get them, someone else will probably get a deal and I'll still be making .50/yard at least.

If you're going to dry it anyway, then you could pick all you want now. Really can't feed it yet, unless you were doing a fresh chop silage, but he wants the stalks. If you can spread it out, my dad always put his on old rabbit cages, so the ear could circulate, it'll dry. If you can't...

Well, patterns intimidate me, too. Which is why I "thought" that I could copy a shorts pattern for my daughter - one in the package was the wrong size, but I cut it the wrong way and she now has a lovely vest... yeah, don't ask...:hide I just scored about 200 yards of fabric from an estate...

Another 9 trays of pear slices. Need to cut up apples to get more of those going. Got sick of canning tomatoes, so dried a bunch of those - darn kids are eating them like chips, I finally had to hide them.

Honey - you are so ready for that baby girl! I hope she makes an appearance for you soon! :hugs

Some days, it is really the little things that make you do the happy dance! :bun Today, it was my hubby bringing home roughly 5-gallon food safe plastic tubs with tight-fitting covers and strong handles from work. They aren't buckets, but have 2 handles on them. He works at a...

Recipe????

Absolutely counts! God Bless You for helping someone else. :hugs

Hmmmmm Hand-crank grain mill extra storage - my basement is the right temperature, but really damp and who can afford to continuously run a dehumidifier? :hu another freezer, actually a replacement for the really old one that was given to us, but I'm sure costs a bazillion dollars a year to...

I canned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING today and I refuse to can anything tomorrow, either. I will pay for it Tuesday when I have to do the rest of my tomatoes, but it felt good to have a fun weekend.

Hey, I made strawberry daquiri (sp) jam. Pretty darn tasty!

18 pints of salsa and 15 pints of spaghetti sauce. No more tomatoes for a few days that HAVE to be taken care of, so I'm planning on getting out the sewing machine and enjoying a weekend of putzing, because pretty soon the great apple bonanza has to be taken care of at my house and I'm going...

Tired of... Hmm, I had squat in my garden this year, so I can't even claim I'm sick of zucchini, which is like a miracle around here. I think I got a total of 8 zucchini from 3 hills. Tomatoes are plugging along, but had to go to a pick your own to get any to do stuff with. Wish I was sick...

I don't like apple butter, but I have so many apples this year, that I am definitely going to try this one. Yum!

:weee WooHoo! Mama's doing the happy dance. Mama's doing the happy dance. :celebrate Just got off the phone with the transportation office at the school, aka bus garage, and my kid is on the bus route!!!!!!!!! We have literally watched the bus drive by our house morning and night for 2...

That "ping" is one of the best sounds during canning season. The only better sound is the big sigh of relief you can give when you are done and can sit down for the day! :ya

It's our 1st 1st day of school here today. Oldest daughter packed off and in 3rd grade. 2nd daughter doesn't start 4K until next Tuesday. I have hope, but it requires a call to the bus garage and confirmation. We're technically not in the school district that my oldest goes to. My husband...

Got another 7 quarts of tomato soup done last night. Working on salsa today. Also did 3 quarts of peach puree - froze it, and will turn it into fruit leather some time when I'm not trying to crank things out with my dehydrator.
