@Alaskan that is a beautiful picture! So peaceful. I'm just thrilled it's "up there"...not down here! 😄 BUT I'm getting a little rain. It's more than predicted but, not bad. Just not needed either.

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.

Thanks! 🥰

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...

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...

Tell us how you started & grew the ginger, pls.😊 I'm thinking a chunk from grocery, plop in dirt & wait.

@CrealCritter Did you get any heifer calves this yr? You still have turkeys?

Wrangling goats is a full course gym & ninja work out rolled into one 🤣 They can be gentle and loving, then flip out with no notice. Not in a mean way, just unannounced. Slept well until alarm. Looks like some light sprinkles happened, probably just before daybreak. I've gotten 2 loads of...

It's difficult to control purchases by others. Obviously DH didn't check pantry or ask you. 😔

No big deal here....alone at house, DD alone there, DS same. So not even a big dinner. Just another day at home.

I saw those at TSC. Didn't buy, too much temptation.😁 In my cleaning/re-org efforts, I found some seed I'd misplaced. Added back to the huge stash! My packet of round carrots, best find 🤣 been looking for those.

Nice job on the ginger!

I have similar tool issues 🤐🙄 & similar vino for tonight

Welcome from VA... Self sufficiency came from grands & parents backgrounds. Back then it wasn't "self sufficient" it was survival & how life was. 😁 Grow it, make it or do without. Lessons learned & loved it.

Karma at work! Shame some were lost but, at least these weren't!! I had no garden this yr. Thankful for those canned from 2024. This year garden a must. It'll be a heavy canning year, too. Thankfully I'm good with empty jars & stockpile of lids!! I'll just need extra hours in some days😋

Enjoying a warmer, more normal morning temps than the heavy frost yesterday. Sunshine cleared it fast yesterday. Today some overcast but, they say no sprinkles. Good! Coffee hot and wake up strong. I'm wanting toast and no bread🥴 Guess I'll make some in a while.

My mom , in later years, before Alzheimer's, began some research. I found some amazing pics when I packed her stuff. 🥰

OMG...I'm stuffed!! Ate enough for me & guests not invited. :lol: DD was thrilled with ham I took her. Like I suspected, she says will be great for lunches. Moms love to share.

Ham. Pulled a 7# butt portion out of freezer. It'll give me sandwiches all week, too. I'll slice & share with DD -- she's sub teaching thru end of yr, takes lunch. I'm looking at sweet potatoes & collards to go with tonight (home canned). And about weekend, it'll be in a pot of beans. 😁Use...

Had gorgeous weather yesterday! Worked outside on catch up at farm. Mowed, worked gates, moved things...more today. Got thru top 6-7 acres. More outside today. More great weather. From not out of 30s monday to sunshine & 70s today 😳 Finishing my coffee, then out the door.
