Ahhhhh.....cleaned and turned on my propane stove today. Didn't use last couple of years. Had to coax it a little but we're cooking now!! 😁 The suggested visit by a polar vortex got me in gear. Threats work. Cross that off my list And, I expect a much lower electric bill. 👍

That's total depth for being self sufficient. I gave up wood burning several yrs ago as a heat source. But know well the dedicated work it takes. My own primary is to provide my own food. I'm not at 100% but primarily some meats are bought, some raised. I do have meat options I raise if I...

Geesh...some of you have some freakish weather. I complain about cold, rarely do we get below teens -- which I consider unacceptably cold. Warm is my contentment Chores done, the day plugs on! Sunshine is uplifting, even if it's cold.

Hope DH gets over sore quickly! It's the pits.🫤 Neighbors, absolutely need to be more attentive! That's a real loss and kind of you to offer more hens -- IF they even want more? Of course, being close, yours will come back home if neighbors free range them 😄🤫 Maybe they buy some feed for...

After rains yesterday, temps went to mid 20s overnight. So, I'll have a little ice to break on water, then most likely some ice to dump from trough feeders 😖 Always fun. NOT. I just keep saying "it could be worse". Job work starts back up this week, couple days, full tilt next week. I...

We got more rain than they guestimated but, all.day.long! Light but all day. Now temps dropping. Cold wetness 😵‍💫. I just finished room service to them

Coffee & pumpkin pie time. Light sprinkles today, off/on. Breaking daylight shows some came early this morn. Won't hurt, didn't have any plans behind feed chores. Maybe I'll accomplish something inside, or not :hide :caf

Usual start -- fresh, hot coffee. Yum. Quick slice of toast & jelly is just a hold over until early lunch. Chores to do now.

That's so true -- always a long, hard wait! 😂

Good day. Other doe had twin doelings at dusk. Fast delivery, up and ready to nurse. Told her yesterday to wait; she did. Plus last batch of pullets I hatched late summer began laying yesterday...2 eggs. Today 4...there's 5 girls. Nice.

I'm ready!!! Always been aware with food from family gardens & canning. Farming gets you prepped if you raise livestock, have a well, etc....and my job slacks considerably in winter, so I plan financially, too. 😁 I hate cold & winter, especially snow/ice but, I can relax for being prepared &...

Congrats to you both!! I'm sure he'll love it, after waiting.

Chicken tractors -- mow & fertilize at the same time!! Maybe use the garden area, cause they'll clean up roots too! Hmmmm...since I still haven't gotten more piggies! 😊

Yes!! 100%. Funny how it was fun when I was 10, dreaded now. I still think it's pretty but, one day's enough. I could tolerate 2 days if no animals to tend. 🤣

What type job? I see airlines, mtg company, windows...all Sierra Pacific. I'm guessing the airlines of those choices 🤣

:thumbsup I like dinner for breakfast --- way better than reverse.

Up early again. But no need to go anywhere. Just enjoying coffee lazily. Had a goat kid twins at dark last night. Settled in but anxious to check the family out at daybreak, first timer. Plus another is due "any minute", so check her out. Have 9 more to go but none looking close. A couple...

It should look pretty when they're blooming! Now we're all waiting with you -- pictures, ya know! 🤩

@Hinotori that sounds sooo good! Do you deliver? :lol: I'm thinking I'll pull out a pint of my canned chicken breast & make some kind of salad now. Thanks!

I slept well and long last night. Had to do with a WTH 9 hr day at work, plus before & after chores and turning off alarms!! Yeah, hot coffee was really nice this morn. 😁
