I started a flock of ducks
Put a roof over my duck pen.
Redid one of my chicken coops to accommodate ducks.
I added outside opening nesting boxes and put plastic carpet protector on the inside.
Planted and canned more vegetables.
Canned lots of jam with foraged berries.
Canned lots of pears.

I would really appreciate doing 2 chapters a week. I found myself so busy this past week I was not able to participate like I had planned. Just when I had some good thought s to share we were on a different chapter!
Barred Buff I really like Ecclesiastes. It is my favorite book for when I...
I only buy unscented candles. The stick candles are unscented but most of the pillar style are scented. Tea candles are also unscented. I have some candle sticks that have glass covers and that helps the stick candles from burning too fast. You can also trim the wicks.
Try and catch the after Christmas sales.
I got a lot of candles for 50% off! :celebrate
I also got walnuts, chestnuts, and sun dried figs from the grocery store 75% off today!
What are some other things we can get good deals on this time of year?
That sounds like fun! I love maple syrup :drool I don't have any experience tapping trees but I would think get
it now while you know it is flowing and after the freeze you should get more. You know it takes a lot to boil
down into syrup.
Instead of dehydrating bugs why don't you raise them. I think you can raise crickets in a large rubbermaid tub with a screen over it. You could do worms, too.
I hardly know what to say! :th Maybe if they like you they will give you a raise. The job market is bad now so they have you over a barrel. This can be a job from God in two ways. At least it is a job and you can be a blessing for that family. :)
My mil did this and she was a retired nurse. Now this was in Louisiana and she really got only minimum wage or slightly above. One job she had she had to quit because of the cost of driving for only a few hours a day. In Illinois we had to hire someone to help with my grandmother and she was...

I have had you and your son on my mind today. I just wanted to add that if you are keeping monthly records of
his weight and he really doesn't gain much or anything at all over 4-6 months you may need to consider other
diet options. If a person has an issue with gluten it damages...
Grow and process my own ducks.
About keeping your coffee hot; I have a stainless steel vacuum insulated coffee cup with a lid.
My coffee stays hot for a good couple hours. Which is great because it takes me that long to drink it!
People have told me my girls are too thin. Especially my mil. I feed my kids food made from scratch. It doesn't have all the garbage additives. My kids do get treats but not too much. Usually 1-2 cookies. Protein is very important. Make sure to have good protein for breakfast and not too...
Sorry you went through this. It must be so frustrating.
Please pm me the hatchery name also. I was considering ordering from a different hatchery than I normally do and would hate to bring this into my flocks.
How about Lima bean Soup?
Soak lima beans over night.
Rinse and cook lima beans for a couple hours.
Rinse again and cook.
Now add vegetables.
Carrots
Celery
Onions
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Any any other vegetables you like in soup.
Add Chicken stock and fat or butter.
Or a large bone. Ham or beef...
Well, I have tried fermenting beans with whey and another with lemon juice. I think they turned out ok. One problem I have is one of my dd cannot have dairy products. They make her extremely crabby! She is a young teen and she has been this way most of her life. I am not sure if whey would...
