That's a really nice jar! I would think it would be great for pickeling.

:welcome My recommendation, get the canning stuff out, checked, and start canning. I started slow and now I can up a storm. I do greenbeans and other things out of the garden as well as jams.

Thank you.

I know digitals are awesome. I had one. It died. :hit A new one is on my list but, it won't be a cheap one. I've been there and done that and didn't care for the quality of the pictures at all. I'd rather go back to the old 110s than that again. So until I save enough money for a good one, it's...

Why would I post pictures that are not mine? I truly don't have a digital camera and will have to wait for a friend or family member to come that has one.

Dace, tell that keyboard to behave. Darn things shouldn't have minds of their own! I'd love to post pics of my place but, unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera. :( Maybe when I have company that has one I can get them to take a pic for me. BBH, I know where Monroe, WI is but, they don't...

:lau 2dream, no we can not legally sell to anyone. But, cow shares are allowed-last I knew anyway. Our milk goes for cheese. :) And thank you for the welcome.

The herefords I've been around have large long teats. Funny how they have to push that California is the place to be for cows, isn't it. I've never been there but, from what I understand the cows are only out on pasture in primarily one valley. The majority of the others are in feedlot type...

I do truly appreciate it. If this were a cattle forum then I would use a cow aviator but, it's not, so I can use something else I like. :)

:lau It's the thought that counts. Thank you Dace but, I'll keep the flowers as I like flowers. But, Amos is right. That's a Hereford. Terrible breed to milk. Not the best to work with as a beef breed either. To darn STUBBORN!

I'll have to try that idea--Natural and cheaper than the commercial products! I have used Sevin on ant hills with success. Some use it to dust chickens so I would imagine it's safe for them. :idunno

Whose definition of affordable? What's affordable to someone making $100,000+ a year versus someone making $25,000 a year are two different thing. Health insurance is the main reason DH works out. It's the main reason in most farm families that one partner works out. And now not, only are jobs...

Thank you. I did a google search. :D I thought it was time to find an aviator.

I need to find an avatar! I found one.

I think you should leave her title just like it is, at least for a couple days. :)

We have them minus the metal cage, in the hay mow. Insurances require them here so the hay can't touch the hot bulb and start a fire.

Some winters are better than others. This last one started early and just would not let go. Even this summer, other than last week, has been cooler then normal. It starts getting light here 4:30 ish and dark is late. Haven't paid to much attention to the time though.

I'm up by 4:30! Get up. Make DH's lunch and head for the barn. DH usually does morning milking while I do the chores. We're normally back in the house by 6. Make breakfast and send DH off to work. During the school year it's get the kids ready for school and then off. Afternoon/Evening chores...

Here it is illegal to own a skunk anymore except for zoos. I know of someone who had killed a mother skunk and then found the babies. She called the vet office to see about getting them descented and they told her to stop. They didn't want to hear anymore and told her to release them before she...

I use address labels that I stick on the lids but, basically do the same. As for breaking the seal with the tip method, I've yet to loose one but, if I did it wouldn't go to waste. Not the way my crew eats jam. :rolleyes:
