Potato salad. I made a bowl today, been wanting some. Yeah, that was it...just potato salad 😋

My mower is gas BUT, I let my goats do the back & side...so less to mow. I'm good with that amount. Now, diesel for tractor to bushhog fields... 😵‍💫 Gotta bite the bullet sometimes. Goats keeps most down for me.... occasional tractor therapy tho.

I have some ham & some pork loin canned. It's been good. Convenience factor is great. DO IT ! 😀 Day trip planned for tmrw but I have cabbage & thinking I'd like to can some stuffed cabbage rolls. You know, make all the "mess" in one go for several meals. 😆 Maybe Sunday

Sooner than later if he's totally out of eggs 🤣

For many, that rain would be a huge blessing. Savor it. The southeast is having a major drought -- big farming disaster. Crop losses. It's something everyone will feel at the stores come summer & fall. 🥴 NC, GA, FL...serious setbacks. I'm seeing some yard gardens this yr that weren't as used...

How big will your greenhouse be? Right by the garden, too 😁

Had some veggie lasagna, from my freezer. Looks like the last of it 🙁 I'll need to replenish soon. It's helpful to have some meals made up for when I work long days -- keeps my eating in line 👍. Stuffed peppers will be replenished this summer...only a couple left. Those PB/cheese cracker nabs...

Small steak, caramelized onion & butter corn kernels. Tasty. First beef in a while.

Ahhh -- greenhouse envy.😁 One here would be nice but, don't see it making it's way to top of my list. Changed up job schedule & spent the day at home. I was productive tho -- laundry, dishes(DW even emptied!) canned, ran errands. Topped all water troughs, hugged some goat kids. Worked thru it...

A few oz of pork loin wouldn't fit in above jars, so stir fry with peppers & onions from freezer.

A single, left over, chorizo sausage link in a PKG, some steam in a bag MW corn. Corn was being discontinued from the plan-o-gram at a reset & sold at $.01 each -- got 4. Birdseye brand. I'm canning & stove is crowded! 4 pts chicken breast, 3 pts pork loin, 3 pts great northern beans ( to...

Send him to HD while you're in Costco! Cool day again today but ok...mid 60s. :idunno

WOW!!! I've gotta say, tho -- awesome wood carver!!! I'll assume he's sold also -- as income??? I'm hoping the daughters kept a couple pieces for remembrance of his talent. But, that's a huge estate.

Don't need them here either but one hen insisted! She's an every year girl. Before I really noticed it was real, she had 2 eggs working. I thought & decided that's was more than enough 🤣. Two chicks happened 2 days ago. She so loves being a mom.

Finishing 2nd cup and then it's outside. Great weather & so much to do! First full 2 days home in almost 2 months....but, work slowing some, so it'll get back to 50/50 farm/work days soon. 😄 Better go see what to tackle first!

Never had either shot & won't. Never a flu shot either. I have a pretty tough immune system. :old Beyond a runny nose & sneezing one yr with spring pollen, not been sick in well over 30 yrs.🤷

If hunting, esp venison due to size/amount of meat, I'm sure you know to vac seal freeze. But you can use a pressure canner if you want to can it. Unless you have a big freezer, canning is efficient & space saving. Plus ready to heat & eat. I'm sure with 5 littles, time is precious. I can a...

So, how much land are you working with? Do you have animals beyond the chickens? Are the children old enough to help & teach gardening/farming? What are you "thinking" you want from homesteading? Most of us garden & preserve foods in several ways. Some of us raise livestock, varied types &...

:clapUsually pretty good until butcher day. That's the test. It's a long, messy, stinky day 😵‍💫. Prep everything the day before...set up area, tubs, carcass hanging space, trash, equipment and cage birds night before with water, no food. Plan your hand washing, towels, no dogs loose, etc...

Real problem I have with garden/weeds/weeding -- I still have a job, so time. Maybe a day that's best to get young weeds is a work day & extends for several. The weeds know & take advantage of me :old 😂 if home 24/7 might do better :idunno I've used cardboard with some success. It helps...
