I don't need to go back, BTDT. Yep, my grands & families lived in the past almost all their lives. I was almost 30 when last one got electric...never indoor plumbing. Modern conveniences are wonderful but, I could manage ok if SHTF. Happy, might be a challenge 😁 Oh, yeah -- bread almost...

Did all but make the bread yesterday -- still out 😕 maybe make it today. It's rainy out & I want a BLT. :idunno just need bread. No good news anywhere. More chicken farms losing millions of birds from flu...some not yet laying age. Welp, there's a few more months of limited egg supplies at...

I believe, suspiciously, my lavender Orp is trying to go broody. :he why not 3 weeks ago???? Before the 'bator. Noticed her all fluffed up as I tossed some scraps to the group. Thought maybe a tiff with another hen. Next day saw her rushing, fluffed again. Began looking for a hidden nest...

4 pints of pineapple chunks. Bought 2 super ripe pineapple @$.25 ea. 🫢 Also had about 1/2 PT left for eating with my yogurt. Just thought a little bit of canned fruit would be winter good.

All good news! For eventual finish that is -- few bumps in Rd to get there ☺️ maybe they can stretch out the PT to get results. Yeah, apptmts get in your way but, that or crack a whip to make DH keep at it!!! You know nurses are the worst patients! :idunno :barnie😁

That's such a satisfying feeling! For me, at least, when I've put food away in season, for later. Always loved to go into the cellars at grands and see the jars full. Was just a kid but, it was somehow pretty & satisfying to me even then. They hunted small game, raised chickens, a pig, etc...

This morn it's hot coffee and.... chicks hatching in incubator....they're noisy. Going well. 😊 Heading out to milk shortly, gotta be awake first. Making cheese later today. Hope to can some ripe, discounted pineapple too. Need to make bread -- I'm out. Sounds like a cooking day :lol:

Hatching going pretty good 😊 not 24 hr yet since first broke out. Have 6 standing & 4 more almost out. The don't care for the bright light. Need to see how many more have just begun break out tho. Exciting. They're noisy, banging around. I want to remove them & the shells but holding back...

Most of "my" eggs are pipping. The dz I bought, not as much -- although the one out & one almost out at from bought dz, as we're the 2 non fertiles🤷. Weren't shipped but from the auction. Next "project will be pen the full cream legbars for pure eggs & collect from pure BOs penned when they...

It's a little nerve wracking -- haven't done this in 2.5 yrs 🤪 but left for couple hrs and now have I totally out, another close with shell 3/4 chipped around and 10 more visibly broken spots in shells. That's halfway for showing life in there. 😄 This will hopefully be a good hatch. 26 eggs, 2...

9 visibly working shells this morn!! Hear peeping, too ☺️ Yahoo....chicks -- not hard boiled eggs. :lol: :celebrate

ENJOY !! :celebrate:drool:drool

See five pipping!! Yes, hatch is starting. :celebrate

Oh, I'm full on jealous!!! That's a beautiful sight, a fresh, ripe tomato.

It's part of what this forum is about!!! That beautiful food we grow.

And knowing it was homegrown just adds to the beauty of it.

Those are beautiful!

It's hard to coordinate two lists, from two people with their own thoughts & priorities 😂. Hiring might be a real good thing for her! It gets done or you learn discussing "wanna plans" first. 👍

Thinking on this process, it's such a miracle. 21 days and a fully developed chick. AND with the good sense & ability to break thru a shell that we know takes a solid whack when we try to cook one. There they are, wet & weak. Within an hr they are up and walking. A broody hen will defend...

More food poisoning but, not to be listed on the label. 😠
