Well put @FarmerJamie and I whole-heartedly agree! Like a lot of us I pop in multiple times a day but sometimes don't really have time or information to post. I've been guilty of clicking a like button and moving on. Other days, when I'm inside and not so time stressed, I really try to respond.

Great coop and run. I can't imagine needing to protect my birds against bears!

Ya'll make me feel like a total wimp complaining about the temps here, lol! But - truth is - I AM a total weather wimp and I embrace it. So, today I'll reach down into that wet muddy hole and turn off the water valve to the pasture. Then I'll have to turn it back on when this freakish cold...

They do tend to blow it up, lol. I find that I'm kind of addicted though. I'm always afraid there will be a last-minute change that I'll miss and life as we know it will be forever changed, lol!

Yum! I'm struggling with my sugar addiction these days. Problem being I promised myself brownies for bad weather preps and I never made them. I feel so deprived, lol! We had fresh collards straight from the garden last night. Threw a sausage link in with 'em, lots of garlic and onions and...

Have a "regular" cold front coming in tonight but the Arctic air will follow tomorrow. Back in the 20's by Saturday morning - oh yay. Thankfully, most preps are in place from the earlier front. I do have a list of things to be done before next winter! First - rebuild the pump house. It's...

It's unnatural I tell ya! Unnatural! (and it really sucks)

Nothing about that surprises me... Is any of that hereditary? (glad you and your brother dodged that bullet!)

Yum! Nothing better than a fish fry. (unless it's a crawfish boil!)

Dang! Talk about a double whammy! Wonder how these are...

Feast or famine!

I bet those are some confused tomato plants!

I guess Monday is better than nothing - but that's a few extra days without pay - ugh.

Wow! Just wow! I like the idea of being able to grow something inside. I'm not handy like that - but maybe I can learn. I have done microgreens indoors and they're simple enough. I even put together a small aquaponic set up a couple years ago and grew a couple of tiny tomato plants in it...

Thanks. Who knows? However, I've still got several other pregnant does who haven't had any issues... :hu

I love lettuce wraps and we have done that occasionally. He is a Tex-Mex food lover through and through, so he loves the low carb tortillas. Not that they're extremely low but at least they don't cause his blood sugar to spike.

One of my does aborted a baby yesterday. No idea why. I found it with no movement except for a heartbeat and an occasional shallow breath. Poor baby was probably a month early. No teeth, barely any hair and eyes sealed shut. No hope and its mama really didn't seem to have a bond with it. I...

DH is having a beef and bean burrito wrapped in a low carb tortilla and topped with lots of cheese and sour cream. He's a happy guy. I wasn't feeling a tortilla, so I had my beef and beans over some cilantro lime rice.

That's cool! (or more appropriately - warm!) We're all electric and I've never loved that idea, but it is what it is. I received a notice today from my power supplier that I've used 156% more electricity this month than last. I know I'm not going to be pleased when the bill comes.

That's fantastic. What type of wood did you start with? I originally built my beds out of cedar and they didn't last long enough to suit me. I've been rebuilding with cinder blocks....they're really heavy, lol.
