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.

Potato soup. Grew the potatoes & milked the milk.😂

@murphysranch I used to get damaged &/or close dated from a person who had a similar contract with a food distributor for restaurants. Got some awesome stuff!!! They sold co and new mgmt changed things. Anyway -- yeah, I fed animals from the produces, canned/froze meats, veggies, all kinds...

They did fine today. Frequent checks for panting, etc. but young chicks like the heat. I'll cover the unit tonight....close off any dew, winds. It's staying in 78-80 range all night. It's an old guinea pig cage from when DGD was little. Close to 20 y/o and still a purpose.

Italian sausage, rigatoni & home cooked sauce. 👍 Of course a vino.....Italy was so much fun! I could live there

Same here...late summer. I happen to have an abundance of applesauce I canned, plain. She loves it 😄 so, some of that can be used up. Plus leftover breads I make. No preservatives, so short life. And...boiled a dz eggs & fed back to hens yesterday. Would never do with store prices but...

Aha!! Had to get through breakfast before any other meals. A bruschetta inspired one -- tomato, garlic pwdr, oregano, goat cheese & a drizzle of olive oil. Whole wheat bread on side & wipe the plate juices 👍

The incubated hatch is 3 wks old in 2 days. This morning I kicked them out of the house! Back porch has their larger cage, just scrubbed & fresh bedded. It's warm enough & they're old enough. Been off light for almost a week. Soooo....surprise, surprise! They are just standing, looking...
