    Did nothing in the dirt but, looked at 2 seed sights. 🙄. NOW the adds showing on the site are -- veg seeds! What a challenge for buying what I don't need more of :lol: :lol: 😁:idunno

    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.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    @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.

    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...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    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.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    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.

    hi everyone !

    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.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    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😋

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    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.
