I have a love/hate relationship with my rooster. He tried jumping me twice several days ago and that’s when I discovered I still have enough balance to at least give a low, left side kick. On his 2nd attempt at jumping me he was apprehended by me, and carried around in the cradle of shame...

Surgery is always an iffy word. In my case it saved me from becoming a paraplegic and yeah there was pain involved. Fortunately I don’t remember the worst part of it but my children have told me about myself. I have met people who regret their surgery but that was long ago and they are gone now...

I haven’t been able to push my weight around that great until recently. Had to get my reverse surgery so I could bend and twist a bit. I still don’t have good balance but I’m trying to be true to myself. I bring my wheelchair to the garden and I bend over and fill up a bucket of weeds for the...

Lots of salads, eggs, meat, seafood, squash. Cucumbers are my go to emergency vegetable when I’m hungry and not so creative. So I mentioned this on the garden post but I’m still freaking out about Tractor Supply GIVING us whatever seeds we wanted. DH said he didn’t want to be greedy and take...

I know it’s really late and I’m about to turn in but y’all just might not believe what just happened to us. So we needed to get some dog food and grains for the livestock, a new blade for our chainsaw, some reading material and we ready to leave Tractor Supply and the manager tells us we can...

You are totally right because I get more out of this form of social media than Facebook. That frequently gets me crazy. I was so tired I brewed coffee and only just drank it. That’s desperate. I’m not even dressed but I’m fixing to be. Got stuff to do.

Probably all of you gardeners mainly plant for the family. That’s mainly what we try to do on our end but DH frequently spills some corn intended for animal feed along side of the coop, pig pen, in the weeds and in our garden claiming he will later plant peas to grow up on it. I have been trying...

Today I think collect weeds for the chickens, put sticky traps for stink bugs and tie up tomatoes.

I seem to have bad luck with plants I buy from Tractor Supply. None of the strawberries came up so I will plant herbs in the gutter. We have several cattle panels and t posts set up in arches with squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupe coming up on them and along the fence we have some of that...

This man told his friend he decided he was leaving his wife. It’s not like he saw it coming a long time before either. It all began last Saturday when he woke up early to go fishing. He already had hooked the boat trailer to his pickup truck the previous afternoon, after work he already had some...

DH had pinched some gutters somewhere and I wanted to try strawberries in them but I didn’t realize only one link was open on the top. The others would be more of a heavy grade of metal and totally closed so not sure what to do with them. But welcome to my strawberry farm. I have 2 varieties...

Maybe it’s a blessing. I probably shouldn’t have submitted my license to verify my identity but I did. I’m so slow doing things but I already put my 4th day grain to soak in the drip water from the still dripping faucet water. I hung yesterday’s laundry, put another batch to wash (which I should...

It’s been raining and stuff is complicated. I didn’t realize it had rained so much last night and I’m glad DH put his hoop coop where he did. I think I have been caring for our small flock of Barred Rocks now for around 2 or 3 weeks. I bought one single sack of hen scratch and I noticed DH had...

Hello. I’m getting ready for a storm and I think it will get cold. I WANT A GARDEN!!! I don’t even have room for any more meat in the freezer with all DH’s catfish, the shrimp he buys when his buddy is tired of waiting on the boat and he just wants to sell everything for a price we can’t refuse...

When DH and I first got together we each had farms we tended to separately. Either of us were able to do it all with no assistance from the other if necessary. He has done both of our chores when I had pneumonia and I have done it when he had an illness but since Ida and both of us having a...

I know I live in the warmest climate on the forum (probably anyway) but I woke up to a pretty chilly house and took pity on Trouble by lighting the heater but I decided early to get the house warmer by killing two birds with one stone. So I burned some crisco in a cast iron pot on the stove (gas...

Today was anti-procrastination day. Before getting on the road with DH, I planted some Ponderosa Lemon seeds and some onion roots and the end of a celery. DH and I then fed the pigs, collected venison from his cousin (neck roast and a leg), checked all our mail, did two more errands then I went...

Have no idea what is wrong with me but I just got over a UTI (at least I think so) and suddenly my left leg wants to fail me at random times when I’m walking, standing, trying to sit down. I get some strange, unpleasant sensation and then it hurts. So far I haven’t fallen down. But I did submit...

Excuse my mess. I had 5 cracker cans that I have been keeping my dry goods in but I got tired of opening them to find the rice, cornmeal, flour and such. I bought one can of spray paint and a silver permanent marker. I cut the corners of an index card rounded to use as a stencil for my labels...
