I have a rat terrier mix. Her adult weight it about 14-15 lbs. (and a 7 lb shih-tzu) I always keep my chickens in a run, safe from my dogs and neighbor dogs and strays. On a couple of occassions when small pullets (like two months old) would get away from me while being transported from one run...

I am really enjoying my presto canner/cooker combo. It has the rubber ring. I just got it this past summer, but I used it quite a bit for pressure canning and hot water bath canning. I haven't really just cooked anything in it yet. Cassandra

Oh... I have been neglecting my journal, haven't I? I get so busy this time of year. I really don't want to. I get a few days off work and I would like nothing better than to stay home with my husband and children while puttering around the house. but no. Yesterday (Christmas day) after B...

I will do a full update tomorrow. Been planning on every Saturday if possible. But so far so good! I will post tomorrow with pics. Cassandra

I haven't yet... hm. I was actually thinking about trying to take the newer one back and swapping it to see what happens. It is less than a month old. I am not sure what kind of container I would have to buy to keep my cameras from getting hot and humid here, but I don't have one. :lol: The...

I have kept mine out on the counter in a rubbermaid (sealed) container for weeks. :p Yes, it will eventually get fuzzy black mildew at which point, I throw it away. LOL but it rarely lasts that long. I bought a butter bell at the thrift store for a couple of dollars. I need to find the...

Happy Anniversary!! AND Happy Birthday!! :weee Cassandra (passing around flowers and cake!)

I am having fits with my cameras and their batteries. The camera that I have now (a Nikon Coolpix) and the one I had before (a Kodak EasyShare) eat betteries like candy! It has happened before that I put new batteries in and they'd be dead before I could even take one picture. Then, I bought...

Cool article. I was just reading it to my husband. I mentioned the word locavores and he said, "Does that mean they eat crazy people?" :rolleyes: Cassandra

Hmm... what have I done so far... Well, I just coudln't stand it any more so I made the little greenhouse. Plus I've got some onions planted that I put in probably six weeks ago. I keep reading that asparagus needs to be planted in January or Feb, so I've got to sit down and order that in the...

An update. it has been one week. The greenhouse is still standing. I had to water the soil today. It got drier than I expected. Have a few little seedlings already!!! Two or three in each bag of soil. It will get a test tomorrow. night time temps supposed to be twenty five F. Cassandra

We buy big boxes of bacon ends & pieces. It's always like picnic time when we find of of those big chunks that is like a slab of ham. :lol: Cassandra

I would not even try to do it on purpose! Mine is full of "refrigerate after opening" stuff. Plus the potatoes that keep going mushy in my vegetable bin. A big jug of sweet tea is always in there. The milk & rice milk. Lunch meat and bacon. Cheese. Salad greens. Here in Mississippi (You know...

I bet that was quite a show! Wow. Reminds me of when I was a little girl, our neighbor's plow mule got lose of him and went rip-roaring around in our back yard. To a 10 year old, that was HILARIOUS! :) Glad to hear everyone is safe & sound. Cassandra

Cowboys are cool! :D I don't intend to make this so serious, FC. I am just doing what I like to do--siting, thinking writing. After my original post, most of what I have written is more about how I feel about people and relationships in general and not so much about my marriage specifically...

:yuckyuck Cassandra

I've been marinating this one. I am genuinely of two minds about it and have not been able to work it out to a point where I can feel like I am doing what I truly believe is the right thing. On the one hand, I have a lot of character traits that I realize are abbrasive. (I'm trying to say I'm a...

See what I miss by taking a nap?! Glad to see you well, firem3. Cassandra

:hide "Now look here, chair. I know you saw me coming. The light was even on this time. We've been over this. If you will just scooch over a hair..." Or more like :rant "%)($&)()*$ )(*%)()(@ )*$##))" Cassandra

When he is learning to spell, I will try to remember to teach him the correct way! I first signed up at BYC about a year and a half ago. When Brennan (my now 5 year old) would ask me what I was doing, I would say "reading about chickens." So now, each time he sees me at one of Nifty's sites...
