Shorter daylight hours 🥴 It creeps up on us.

I used to just ask them to help hold the kid, while I banded. 😖👹 :ep

Yesterday I made a loaf of bread, egg salad & potato salad. Pleased with myself ☺️ great taste & used up some extras that needed eating. Guess tonight will be "Use it up = eat it up"

Fall. Shorter days. Cooler days. Last part is welcome :caf

Weather system slid thru last night with about 1/2" of rain but, cooled us back off to high 60s. Thank you👍. That's where we'd been, then thur-sat a vengeful heat wave of 90 EA day. Thinking we're gonna stay in 70s now...😁 I could do that all year. :cafCoffee in the cool morning breeze. Plus...

@Hinotori that's the nice thing about canning, choices. Be it flavor, add-ins or size. 🙂 And sometimes it helps with cost too. Your family has some defined food concerns that can be addressed that way as well as growing & producing.👍

When putting the peach butter in pantry, saw I had made peach jam not far back. Had forgotten 😮 I eat soooo little jams or jellies, not really worth the time to make it for myself. Won't be next yr -- prob take 2-3 yrs to use what's in there. :idunno makes you realize where not to waste your...

Yeah, wrap him up!!! 😂 It won't help balance but should make a softer landing. It's a tough situation for everyone. :hugsto you both.

Just made a qt of cottage cheese 🙂 I like it for breakfasts, with some fruit. Also use it at dinner with garlic bread & tomato -- bruschetta fashion with olive oil. Yum. Might sound strange to some but, cottage cheese is good food nutritionally. 👍

2.5 pints of peach butter... Got 4 trays of slices in dehydrator.

Listening to video, I think 5-6' on center will give good coverage. Plus at 6', one less tree...$. Buy taller.

Yep....even the lowly chicken is way up in price!! Yikes. I just picked up some split breasts at $1.29#, a loss leader. Have a good amount canned chicken but these I vac sealed for frying in winter. Love fried with skin on -- a treat as I don't fry a lot. Have a couple whole frozen, plus...

The peel color is beautiful 😍

Off we go....😁

Wheat crackers, topped with soft goat cheese & apple butter...really tasty for breakfast. Been doing good all day and mostly done with today's list. I'm having a coffee break! Much warmer out today but humidity is really low, light breeze, makes it quite pleasant. My hen took her batch of...

Now is when you could use one of those fabric saddles they have for hens. 🥰

Same here. Use more ground & only occasionally a steak. Like them but, only if really tender. I enjoy a good roast....extras into sandwiches or soups. :idunno

So coffee was first 😂 then I could read my days list. Heavy house cleaning all week, while I'm off job work. Chores happened. Some follow ups done. Feed order placed...will pick up when I go to town for the lawn tractors starter solenoid :idunno Repairs never seem to end. In honor of Labor...

We can see the parted out prices at the grocery stores...makes sense to see bulk sides & quarters. Of course, it's overall a better price for each part being "equally" valued as a whole. I used to raise, 30 yrs ago 😂. Today, not doing. I buy some in bulk. It's just good to know these...

@Hinotori is that price for hanging weight? I suspect it is.
