    the little wild kingdom

    It's been a couple very cold days/nights here and early temps for area. Today is warming! Thankful for that. There's new parts that need to be put on truck & tractor. Truck is worn/maintenance stuff. But tractor, I'm praying these solve the not useable issues. I'm home and desperately need...

    Cornish Cross 2025

    Yeah....honestly with cost of chicks, cost of feed, time & trouble, you can buy on sale for equal or less. May not be as large but, way less trouble. I use a heavy type bird in my flock. They go broody. Plus I have an incubator. Really the roos get a real nice size for chicken meats. Not...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    How are the piggies coming along? I haven't gone there yet. But it's on my mind here & there 😁 With T-day, my back burner want for some pretty turkey birds come back. Still holding the line there, too. Less goats has happened too. 🤔 Downsizing?

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Are these the ones her mom picked, then didn't use??? Wow, that's a bunch of fruits and work. But the greens can be left for another week😁 to ripen more & spread out the kitchen time.

    What's for dinner?

    I'm still munching ham. Prob a pot of beans or veg soup today with crappy weather of heavy sprinkles off/on. It makes for inside time.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I canned some this summer. They're tasty dehydrated but I didn't do any. Yep, I think 50 cent each and there were only a few available. Very ripe but good. Pineapple upside down cakes were sure what I was thinking! Plus I occasionally make a cake that uses a can of crushed in recipe --- hey...

    What are you having for Thanksgiving dinner?

    Thanks but, don't be sad -- we aren't. We used to have a big meal. But as our family became smaller & were all working, it became more inconvenient than fun. We all live here on my farm (separate housing) so see one another enough. 🤣 We do have a meal together at Christmas...or birthdays. We...
