    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Yesterday worked into a productive one. Got yard mowed, need to trim out today. Trip to dump with some storm blow stuff, on way for mower gas. Misc farm things happened and made cheese last night. Mid day shower - sweaty from mowing, etc -- and an unexpected happened once I sat down.😂 Then...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Until they get into your chicken house!!! Then skunk eats eggs & possum kills the chickens....then you dislike BOTH. 😖 Another glorious day, for which I'm thankful. But that darned roo in my front yard, crowing is getting annoying. Where's the off button? He's stuck on repeat.😳...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Remember that you are milking some with higher butterfat in their milk. That makes a taste difference. As to "need" -- I don't really, except for cooking. Canned milk has risen in price like all things. I consider this to cost the price of a lid, so I'll not need to buy any. Plus I cook...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    So the milk does have a mild canned condensed taste. It's sweeter than canned, also. Tried it on some cereal, that's acceptable, didn't add sugar. Great in hot tea....black coffee here but, would work like the hot tea. Cooking, great. Supplement a nursing kid, great. Not that I couldn't...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I took a qt jar from pantry to frig. Let you know tomorrow 😁 these were done 5/18. There is a tiny bit of beige from white color. Minor amount of separation, shook up very easily & well. No more than you see in a jar of fresh/raw that's been setting in frig couple weeks....nothing curdly or...

    Does this mean she has issues with eggs, as well as wheat? She uses alternative flours?

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    This will take 2 cuts...one high. I'll have to hit some areas a second go but will wait a day or it'll be too ragged. Can't use the catcher as the grass blades are too full of moisture...I'll go over it when dried up. Won't take much with 90* temps 😎 Of course, the pastures are doing well 😁

    Egg Hatching

    The thinking about it broody is committed. 🙄 Don't need chicks. Don't want her where she's chosen. Will try to move her one night & hope. I'll need a pint of bug spray for myself to be out there for a move attempt 😁 I have a broody house set, need to add food & water containers, make a nest...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Ants!!! Never seen so many....bitty creatures, too 😳😡 You'd think rains would flood them but, only seems to have driven them out to attack. Supposedly hot & dry rest of week. I like the "dry" part. Work half day. Then home a few days. GOT to mow yard -- dry up grass!

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Can't get a break to cut grass. It's tall, wet and I need boots to walk to the barns 🥴. Otherwise, jeans are wet almost to my knees. Really a very wet May/June. Some amount of rain daily for last 10 days...not flooding but too much at once. Rivers are up, ditches have water. Mosquitos...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    This tractor thing keeps showing up with you 🤔 That would need water wings for you right now! :lol: Raining here, as I type....not what y'all are getting. It's hard, straight down and so much it looks "foggy" out there. Supposedly 1.25" today and it's doing most now.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Slept until 7am alarm. 👍 Coffee, now breakfast -- PBJ. We've had some amount of rain every day for a week, mostly light. But heavy last night. Now, here comes summer blasting in...upper 87-94 predicted all week. Hot sun & dry. Beach tourists will be thrilled 😄 I'll get some farm things done...
