I got my brooder finished today. It's not anything spectacular at all lol. I used an old refridgerator in the shed and layed it on it's back. I then wired an old water heater thermostat to a light and screwed the whole thing in place. Voil-a brooder in about 15 minutes! I had to get the...

I havent seen that show in years! It's in the 70s here today and sunny. It rained hard last night but turned into a beautiful day.

I love irises! They're my favorite flower! Our place is so shady that getting them to bloom here is difficult. All but the stinking blue ones. They always bloom and they're my least favorite. Glad your well again!

I just candled my wyandotte eggs again tonight. They all 11 seem to be developing! I won't know about the other 11 for another day or two. I hope they are blrw's!

I have to wait until it is dark outside and all the lights are out when I do it even with a 100 watt lightbulb. Otherwise I can't see a thing in a brown or green egg. White eggs are so much easier.

What are you using to candle? I use a lamp with 100 watt bulb and an old cardboard oatmeal box. The tall round ones. The trick is to get it as dark as possible in the room with a really bright light shining through a hole. I poke a hole the size if a penny in the oatmeal box and set it over...

I'm glad your feeling better! I wish I had half as much energy as you. Most days I have to force myself to even get outta bed here lately.

That's what threw me off. I thought in order to ferment it took a couple of days. Thanks for the link!

Thats how I've always hauled them too! Now I have a question! What is the difference between fermenting and soaking? I have soaked corn overnight to soften it. Is that basically the same thing? Can the water then be reused without getting any bad beasties in it? I can see how corn water...

Okay so I have this thermostat. I need to know how to wire it 110 to run a lightbulb for a brooder. I have basic wiring skills and know how NOT to get electrocuted! LOL Ive done this before with other salvaged thermostats, but I dont have a clue how to wire this one. I was hoping someone...

Today was absolutely beautiful!! I wore shorts today! We worked on the yard some and got the area where I want to extend the garden to and plant the berries cleaned and raked up. Moved all the scrap metal to a pile out back. Finished putting the door on the greenhouse. That door had been...

:hugs Hope you start feeling better! That's wonderful about the kids!

That's what gives 'em character! Lol I think we've all known someone that way. Hey and at least you got out today.

:hugs :hugs :celebrate :weee Does that say enough? I'm so happy for you!

Prayed!

We have a lot of people do that around here. Even at yard sales. It really stinks. I guess in this evonomy they just need the money and are hoping someone won't notice, and sometimes things like that are cheaper to buy than to make if you use new materials.

I can't take pics, but I can describe them really well! Ever see the cartoon where it shows a squirrel on caffeine? I can't remember the name of it,but the kids loved it. Now imagine itty bitty tiny striped chicken chicks on caffeine! They DO NOT stay still for more than 2 seconds. They...

:bow :bow Praise God!!!! Ya know that's kinda where I am now. I am alone with 3 kids who are homeschooled and very little income. Since I have learned to put my trust in Him, He has taken care of me. I am still broke at the end of two weeks, but my bills are paid and anytime I've needed...

That's how I got the gas fireplace that is heating my home right now! People were throwing the whole stinking thing away because they replaced it with a vented set. Dh asked if he could have it and they told him take it!

Thanks for the link. I had missed that one! I definitely plan on doing the fire cider! I feel a lot better today. I did my own version of the onion honey mix today. Only I added a little garlic and cayenne pepper and cider vinegar and made it into a drink with water. It was different :sick...
