Another week has gone by & made cheese plus cajeta, still this for today's work to make room & another 2 gal in frig 😳 this is from one goat. A gallon a day adds up fast!! I love it, don't get me wrong, but she rivals zucchini with output. Imagine this, she will give 2 gal a day if I pull...

Reminds me of old days at grandmas BUT no indoor plumbing -- just big metal tubs outside for ALL laundry🤣 There would be a fire with hot water brewing to add as needed. Whites first, then colors👍 Guess that's memories with my morning cuppa. Much cooler today, thankfully! Rains coming, half...

You know, the most crippling thing a foreign enemy can do for immediate panic is hack into our electric & water grids....all computerized.🤐 Give that some thought. 😖🤬

That sounds like a good old southern cook out! :drool 😁

I've decided -- 5 pullets, 3 roo -- from incubator hatch. 3 pullets, 1 roo (?) from hen hatched. Then 4 pullets I bought 6 wk ago.....so, a dz new layers for winter!! 😁👏. Perfect.

MY thought on this was the price!! Dang, those large washers used to be about $6-8. Haven't been in a while but, best way for the large items. Nothing is like it used to be! 🥴 Those of us at retirement age notice it way more. These young things never knew it was less costly. Losing it...

Chicks!! 😁 They are fun at first, then work, then more work if freezer fill. 🙄. I just incubated some that hatched 3 wks ago. For layer pullets & freezer roo. But only a few since a hen had hatched a few, plus I'd bought a few. It'll all work out. Are your a combo hatch or just freezer fill...

I enjoy making jelly, jams & preserves but, now almost no one around here eats them. Kids & grands all grown up. I've shared with friends, who always want more -- but, they don't want to return my jars! 😠 I want them back, even empty.... They're $$$ The sugar & fruit are bad, have you priced...

That jam looks yummy! Nice color, too. No raspberry here 😞 but wild blackberries are ripening...another week & might be able to pick enough for a batch. I'm looking at all the elderberry I have canned, thinking some should be turned into jam. Those are ripening fast out there, too...

Nothing exciting going on around here. Yep sunny, too hot. Mid day shad naps for animals. Inside for me. Triple dig temps

Oh, yeah....can & have gone over a week without modern conveniences. Not necessarily fun but real doable. No electric is the most troublesome, but annoying. Not for light, I have oil & solar lamps for that! Can cook outside. Have home canned foods, ample water always available from wells &...

How's it going now days? Touch base.☺️

Cajeta!! Yum....

That first girl ever by him, right?

These hot days are when the freezer fills make life good..heat & eat an otherwise heat the house meal.👍

Having coffee -- lovely outside right now. 74* and a light breeze. Whole herd of goats in front field. Cat rubbing my leg, a rooster crowing away. Nice day so far. Blue sky, too...🥰

I'm all about eats lately 🤪. Too much inside time! Today I spatchcocked a Cornish game bird and cooking in an electric skillet, lidded, slow. A baked sweet potato go with 🙂. There will be over half of bird for tomorrow....sandwich, or 🤷 Too hot to cook.

Seeing the orchard producing is so rewarding. I'd sure enjoy that ripe fruit....I know y'all will. Hard work pays off. Plus -- you love the growing & care parts.

Between goats, chickens & cats....nothing to compost.

I know it's been longer but, seems like it wasn't that long we enjoyed calves births. 😁 Time flies! You've never gotten a red like the bull -- maybe 2025? Another hot day here. They say triple digits will stop about Wed, thanks to some rain in a "cold" front. A welcome relief.
