I agree with drinking lots of water. Also try adding at least two stalks of celery into your daily diet.

When it rains it pours...or so the saying goes!! Sigh.... DH has been driving my 15 passenger van back and forth to work, 55 miles EACH way! On Saturday morning HE HIT ANOTHER DEER with my van!! It cracked the bumper and put a dent in the drivers door. Think the bottom quarter (whole quarter)...

He put the deer in my van and we brought it home but then we decided that it was to busted up to process. The front and back legs were both broke and the back end had split and the insides were starting to come out. Bill will not process any meat and with the weather being so warm the neighbor...

Welll...... :rolleyes: It looks like all of my house change plans are totally on hold!! DH hit a deer this morning and totaled his car!! He had a 2000 Alero with 182K miles on it so we are not expecting to get much out of it. :( So we are either going to have a car payment or putting a...

Chloe was in heat this morning and the buck jumped right on that this morning!! He is a little shorter than her so I am not sure if he got the deed done or not! LOL! But she sure was flagging her tail right in his face big time!!! I am hoping!!! So far she is the first doe he has got. I...

Ok, we have now had the buck for two days and my Lily KNOWS there is a man on the premises!!! She is BAWLING something terrible! She has even been zapped by the fence! I think she is in heat but I want to make sure he is not sick before letting them near each other! His runny nose has...

I got the buck last night. I am kind of disappointed. He is a lot smaller than I thought he would be. He is about 10 months old so maybe we can fatten him up a little. He has horns...although small. He has a runny nose! :( So we have given him LA-200 and some children's Dimetapp so I am...

WOOT!! A guy that I met at the auction got me a Nubian Buck!! I go to pick him up tomorrow! I have 4 ladies that need a man! I am sure they will be very excited!! He is supposed to be chocolate with white on him! All of my does are red (light brown) so hopefully I will get some mahogany...

The diary department...aka goats.... :hit Spoiler, our last little buckling died Sunday morning at 6am practically in my 12 yo's arms. He stopped eating his feed a couple weeks ago, we treated him with some stuff and he started eating again...for about a week, then we went out Saturday...

We have been working on the making applesauce, just a little everyday. A little means 100# a day! LOL! We have almost 50 quarts done and I have a big pot of applesauce in my outside fridge waiting to be canned up. We got to tired last night to finish it. So I want to get it canned up before...

Well, my first 'day' on the job didn't go as good as I would have liked! I made great time getting the work done but I was not exact enough so that shorted both me and the company packages. I get paid per piece. So on the next packages I will have to be more careful and closer to exact. I...

I am just at the point in my life that I really have no desire to go anywhere. Maybe once my kids are grown they will share more of the animals and maybe I will have a desire to travel then...but right now I just don't have the desire to go anywhere. All of my family lives close so I do no...

I want to get more into farming and with this life change I will able to in about a year! I honestly can not ever imagine NOT wanting to farm! GASP!

Thank you all! I am really excited about my new job! I am really looking forward to this new life change too! I just keeping looking forward to what my life is going to be like by next October...or even by May or June! But it is just getting to that point that seems to be so stressful some...

I am thinking lasagna and garlic bread with green beans for tonight!

I had a nice quiet weekend. My mom and I went to a baby shower for a cousin and his wife. I was surprised at how many HANDMADE baby quilts she got!! I think she got 6 or 7. Ok, I have to confess.... I hate feeling that I am EXPECTED to spend a lot of money ($20 is a lot of $$ for me right...

Congratulations!! What a blessing for both you and them!!

From what I read on the blog they just stopped going to the 'grocery store'. They just went to the Farmer's Market instead. On the side of their blog it says that has spent OVER $4,300 on food in the last year!! I did not see how big their family was though.

Slab wood (as everyone calls it around here) is the bark with a layer of wood. It comes from the local lumber mills...mostly all Amish around here. Here are some pictures on my blog from a few years ago of what it looks like: http://pamspride.blogspot.com/2008/09/wood.html
