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.

That's pretty amazing. I've dehydrated eggs. Not terrible scrambled - I'd eat 'em if I was really hungry. On another note - the dogs love 'em, lol!

That's true!

It has been a lot more active in the past. Kind of goes through spurts and spells lately.

Love your setup! I really need gravel between my beds. It sure would cut down on my weed-whacking chores. Do you have trouble with the deer getting your fruit?

That's awesome and it looks delicious! I know that's a lot of work. I've made pan sausage with my home processed pork. It was really good.

My neighbors keep me and my dogs stocked with venison. He tosses the shoulders over the fence to the LGD's. They're beginning to figure out that he's actually NOT the monster next door. If one of my pigs is kind of a PIA does that count as "wild" game? He seems to be fascinated with my...

Oh my goodness @Justanotherguy. Look at those little red cheeks! You're building memories that those little ones will never forget! It's too cold here (just north of the 29th parallel). I'm quite over it, lol. I think we get a couple of decent days before the next round of 'way too cold.'...

Welcome from south of Houston. I don't know how ya'll do it ... this is our second hard freeze in 2 days and I'm lookin' to see how much farther south I can go, lol!

Home grown pork - delicious!

That sounds fantastic! Chatting and a new start of worms. Win, win!

It coulda been a whole lot worse. So glad it wasn't. DS is awesome!

ARGH! Had a water problem for a few hours last night/this morning. My pipes were fine - no freezing. I prepped pretty good for that. The pipes for the pump are wrapped in heat tape and I left water dripping in the house as I've done many other times. However, when I woke up around 3:30a I...

Yikes!

I had no idea, lol! :hide (I'm right there with ya on that!)

We lucked out last night and didn't even make it down to freezing. It was 33 at wake up. Different story tonight, forecast at 21. Brrrrrr!

I'm far enough south that hopefully we won't get the freezing rain and ice on the roads and power lines - but they keep saying "maybe." I've got a bunch of standing water from the FIVE INCHES of rain we got. So, ice skating for me might actually happen, lol. I hope not - I'm not as agile as I...
