    Mississippifarmboy's Living Simple Journal, Ready for a Fresh Start.

    SSD, around here we use almost any meat in dumplings to stretch the meal. A cup of meat to a large pot of dumplings will flavor them and be good, of course, the more meat the better it tastes. We use chicken, rabbit, squirrel, ground hog, turkey, quail, dove, pigeon... just whatever. I guess...

    Been a couple of days since I posted, but not much going on. Been working with Gus, deciding where I'm going to be setting up some new coops this winter and cleaning up a little around the farm. I need to get some scrap metal hauled off tomorrow if I can and I have a friend coming to look at an...

    Raining and COLD here tonight! Haven't had to build a fire yet, but it won't be too much longer I'm thinking. Still need to clean the flue and blow out the fan on the wood heater before we do need a fire. Didn't get much done yesterday or today. Mainly just doing some research and such. As soon...

    Well Emily is still sick, but I feel a little better myself. Not great, but better. Terra sold her English Bulldog today and I sold a couple of boxes of price guides, so we were able to get a couple of bills paid. Of course I had three others call wanting their money... oh well. Little by...

    Boy am I tired. And my back is killing me, but we did get a good bit done today. I haven't felt real good today, but not near as sick as I have been the past couple of days. We have the old metal shed in pieces and loaded on my wagon I pull behind the riding mower but still need to move the...

    Gus has had his morning shots, got some of the feeding finished, Em and I finished taking the old metal shed apart. Taking a lunch break now, then it's time to start cleaning stuff up, hauling the scrap to the shed, burning brush and get ready to get the fences up in the back. Hoping to get a...

    A lot of us had a bad year. Vent away. I can't even imagine twins! Just remember everything has a reason and next year can be better.

    Well, Gus is home! We picked him up about 4:30 pm. The trainer called early, I guess around 8 this morning and said the vet had called him and Gus was doing fine and if we were willing to give him some shoots ourselves we could go ahead and pick him up instead of having to board him until...

    I'll Pm ya.... ;) No one should go through life without at least once enjoying crab-apple preserves! You MUST eat them with fresh homeade biscuits though. I'm pretty sure it's a law. :old

    Yayyy on the piglet! What feed do you use? I get the 14% Alabama brown bag from the Corinth Co-op, picked up five bags today. It's $8.95 a bag and I feed it to everything almost. If we ever get caught up (Not going to happen) I'll go back to picking up a ton at a time to save gas. If you don't...

    I hear ya on the family thing. My brother and sister are as different from me as daylight and dark. Totally different in lifestyles, personalities and thinking. I have an uncle who lives next door and was raised like my brother, he's the same way. We all grew up in the same house and none of...

    I need an EASY yogurt recipe

    I am having some pretty severe issues with my colon right now and am supposed to be eating "live culture yogurt" daily. Due to my not working, we can't afford to buy the stuff all the time, so I'm looking for a cheaper way to make it here at home. We do have a Jersey milk cow, so have fresh raw...
