Pretty sure the poacher was a banded water snake. I'm not very happy with him, but as long as he goes after the invader catfish and not my bass - I'll tolerate him. Yikes - it would be easy to poke that spear into places it shouldn't go - it would require a good bit of caution!

Crazy busy couple of days. I got my chicks Thursday and they're all strong and healthy. Got my hatching eggs the next day. Population explosion - chicken math at its best - eeek!! Got all the adult chickens, with the exception of one roo, penned. Hopefully I can get some eggs now. Set a...

YaY! Glad for you and your wife!

Congrats!

Holy Cow! So sorry you had to deal with that, but glad you caught it quickly!

Glad the check up went well....

Yikes! So glad it wasn't worse!

We should be good today - winds in the 10-15mph range instead of the craziness from yesterday. Hoping for a call from the post office this morning. Need to get my chicks in a nice warm brooder!

Brrrrrrr this morning. It's 44 degrees at wake-up. I've been waiting for this for a very long time but now that it's here...eeek! I need a couple days to adjust, lol. Winds were brutal yesterday - supposed to be calmer today. I'm counting on it - I've got things to do!

Aaaand - what did I do outside today. Nothing, nada, zilch! It's been crazy windy all day. Forty plus gusts with high sustained winds made it a no fun day to be outside. Not a good day to try to do anything except dodge the falling tree limbs. Any branches that were compromised just gave...

Cool front came through! Went from shorts and t-shirts yesterday to leggings and a hoodie today. Temps in the low 50's at wake up and it's cold in my house. I know, I know - this isn't cold for lots of people, but us weather wimps are feeling the change! Got lots to do today - glad it won't...

WooHoo! We're cool! Temp in the low 50's, with a strong breeze, this morning! Makes the coffee taste a whole lot better! Hope to spend a good bit of time outside today.

Boo! I know if DH's CPAP wasn't working neither one of us would get any sleep. Hope it gets there quickly!

Dinner last night was - what else? Eggplant, lol. Recipe was loosely based on this: https://paleogrubs.com/eggplant-beef-casserole-recipe It was delicious!

Sleep! Such an underrated luxury, lol. Went to bed at 9am and didn't get out until after 6! Coffee is extra delicious this morning with a dash of Ceylon Cinnamon. Yummy!

Yay!

Well, they're all being, or already are, processed at this point. Turns out that there were 18 in total - the 14 that I picked and 4 more in the fridge. Used several different methods. First - a huge pan of eggplant lasagna-ish. It'll make dinner for a couple days and I and I'll still have...

Glad you got your power back!

I think I'll do some that way for eggplant parm. Also going to bake some and freeze it as puree for casseroles. I love eggplant but this is ridiculous, lol!

Will wonders never cease! Now that I've got several hens in a coop I'm getting eggs again! I got all the birds that were in the backyard cooped but still have some running around the big barn. That's generally not a problem. They have a corner of the barn blocked off for them and a nestbox...
