    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Yum...coffee!! Slept great last night. That's unusual around here so I'm going to show my appreciation by slurping up as many cups as I can, lol. I love coffee so much I decided to write a poem about it. Coffee, coffee, I love you so... Ummm, that's all I could come up with... so far!

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    I've never heard of conditioning camp! I wonder if they'd take me, lol. DGS will definitely go straight in. He's very athletic and very self-driven. An all-around fantastic kid. Oops - I've gotta stop calling him a kid. He'll be 19 in November. His younger sister, and my oldest...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    :( DGS and his girlfriend just left. Breaks my heart to see them drive away. However - I'll see him again before he heads off to basic. We had tons of fun! We did a whole lot of eating, a whole lot of fishing and played Monopoly last night. They even stayed an extra day - which I very...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    One my first cuppa this morning. There will be more, lol! Woke up to peeps in the incubator this morning. The silkie pullet eggs are hatching. So far, 4 of the six are out. Of the other two - one is pipped and the other is zipped. :fl

    Do I see a lot of cracking and shelling (and stained fingers) in your future?

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    What is wrong with me? (don't answer that) I keep waking up before the sun. I guess that's ok because I'm sleeping really well at night and getting things done during my non-sleeping hours. Coffee is good this morning. Heck, coffee is good every morning!

    Gardening On Your Homestead: What’s Growing in Your Soil?

    I've had raised beds and inground gardens. I like the raised beds a lot for root crops. There's a lot of clay where I live and the root crops do so much better in the softer dirt of a raised bed. My raised bed space is limited so I plant in-ground for big sprawly crops or just for ones I need...

    Ewwwww! Nothing like a storm to screw up weekend plans. Hope it's not too bad. I still need to get more winter hay. Supplier has said he'll be cutting this month and I'll probably get 12-15 more. A couple of the gals are getting some nice round bellies. Kinda getting anxious to see...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Can't go wrong with greens for sure! Nothing better than a pot of greens w/some ham or sausage simmering on the stove. Skillet of cornbread to go with... mmmmmmm! I still haven't even started seeds for anything. Greens will be direct sowed so at least that's a little easier. The brooder is...
