Hope Patsy is feeling better tonight. This cold is sure hard on them. Our chickens didn't even attempt to come near the door when I went in and out today. Maybe it's a good thing if you don't have to go out in this weather to work. Checking in on our animals is a full time job when the...

This just might be breakfast tomorrow morning. We need a change as we've been having oatmeal to warm us after being out in the cold doing chores. Thanks for another good recipe.

The chicken coats might not be that far out there. They do have jackets for calves and if I'm not mistaken goats and sheep. Could be wrong on that last part. Would make for some funny pictures. Morel, thanks for sharing the blessings of your family. I needed a bit of joy tonight and here...

Brrr, Morel. I thought it was cold here. What kind of pigeons did you get? I read back, but might have missed it. My Dad has had pigeons forever. He was into homing pigeons for many years and raced them - he did quite well with that. How's your family doing? You stay warm - plenty of...

Not to sound petty or mean, but some folks won't notice you have a rooster on your sign and that roosters don't lay eggs. Some people just don't know. I like the idea for your sign - share a pic when you get it done. Great news on the egg production. Sounds like you have a solid plan for...

You are a better person that I about the dog. I can't think of any dog I would take into our home. Even with a crate. Yes, plenty of walks today and the crate or we could call it his room. Sounds better. How are you doing? The baby? Not much longer.:)

Winter has dumped some snow on us here in N. IN. The schools have had snow days so I didn't have my grandsons. Blizzard conditions have closed the college campus so our daughter is home. It's been rough waiting and praying as she's had to travel to school the last 2 days. I've taken my...

I am so proud of you! I think the rolls and bread look yummy. A warm roll or slice of bread with melting butter - what more could one need?:) Now you just need some home made butter. Yep, I see you doing great things this year. Maybe making your own mixes next. The possibilities are...

I always call dibbs on the bread ends of homemade bread. Our youngest daughter doesn't like them and my sweet husband saves them for me. When we have just a bit of leftover meat - chicken, pork, beef - I'll made it into a taco sort of meal. Add some salsa or taco mix to the meat and simmer a...

Another great project for beginners is to make a pillow case. They make super gifts and you can use fabrics that compliment the recipients hobbies, sports teams, etc. I like to give them as gifts. Everyone seems to like them. I'm hoping to get to Joanns for some flannel. I figure it's about...

annmarie and Sebrightmom, I'm glad you tried the oatmeal bread and liked it. I also play around with the amount of whole wheat flour and honey - just depends on my mood. I had planned to bake some oatmeal bread today, but decided to make carmel corn instead. It's in the oven now. YUM! The...

How cute! I don't think I've ever seen ferrets this close. They sure seem playful. I bet they keep you busy. Might be a silly question, but do they have the run of the house?

Glad to hear all is well with the repairs. What a relief! Wishing you better things to come in 2009.

Hi there, Bee. Sounds like a fun informative time at the farm show. There's one in Fort Wayne this week. It would be nice to go, but weather is too bad. Did you find it to be more for commercial big time farms or was there enough for small beginning farmers? My Dad has made ACV using...

Thanks for reminding me to say "thanks." The ideas and tips shared here are great. But, more importantly for me is the support and inspiration as we journey to live a more Self Sufficient life. You know living this way can bring chuckles, head nodding, bewilderment from others. Not everyone...

The cards are awesome. You sure do great work. I hope you feel better soon. You sound like me with blowing the nose. Seems that's all I've done today. Sure makes for a sore nose. Our local Walmart did away with their craft department last year. I can get some at the hardware store in...

Pam, maybe it would be better to take a nice walk in the snow instead of shoveling. Just worrying about you and the baby.......but, I'm sure you know best.

It sounds like you are getting the same kind of winter weather we have here. I'm not looking forward to the below zero temps. Might have to let the animals fend for themselves.LOL I don't blame you for not considering finding Titan a new home. The call ministry for your church sounds like a...

You have been busy. A clean house always makes me feel like I've accomplised something. Of course, ours doesn't stay in order for long. Now that your home is done, enjoy the company coming. Crazy how some animals need to figure out who feeds them. You'd think they'd come by it naturally...

Is anyone else amazed that we are almost to the middle of January? Yikes, where does the time go? Thanks for the well wishes for my husband. Whatever he had, kicked him down hard. He is just getting back to normal. Today, he felt he had the energy to split wood. Good thing, we are...
