hopefully your mom will be hospitalized long enough to get some meds regulated to help her. I'm so sorry youall are having to go thru this. and no please don't feel guilty. she really needs time with the medical team to get things back together. and i would guess you'll have lots of time...

i can a lot of my food. rabbit, chicken, beef, goat and pork make good soups, stews and pot pies. i also can lots of veggies too, from asparagus to zucchini.o_O the things i dehydrate are sealed in airtight jars to keep them from drawing moisture out of the air. you'd be amazed at how many...

oh fem, I'm so sorry. :hugs it is so hard to parent a parent. could you make her a doctors appointment and go with her and talk about what is going on? would she let you set up her meds so she will take them correctly? i tried for years to set mom's meds but she refused, and she had...

dang, that's not how i ever did it. way cool!

@Britesea, they are kinda cute. she has elf ears, a roman nose and plus a personality plus! tried to upload a photo for you but computer won't let me for some reason.

i know that basmati rice is suppose to have a lower glycemic index than even brown rice. of course i found that out after i had bought 10# of brown rice so i haven't tried it testing my sugar after i eat it. corn it the grain that tears my blood sugar up but i love it and eat it once in a...

that they are. I've got one gal who is half Nubian and half lamancha, i call her the mouth of the south. she is the one who hollers at me as soon as i step out the door. she is a pia but i love her. how are the chickens doing? did you get the meaties butchered and how were they? I've...

or goats...

thanks for the canoe info. i looked and found a dealer within a reasonable distance of me. gonna go look. i really prefer a canoe too, i knew i would have to tump myself out in the water to get out, lol and like fem says I'd like to have some rain too.

ditto is the worming for this year. i lost a 2 year old doe to barber pole worms last month and am still fighting worms. every one is doing better. it has really let me know who is more parasite resistant in my herd. day before yesterday it was 105 with a 115 heat index. everything stayed...

sorry your weekend visit with your dad was a bust. i know to much about family drama. it gets so old doesn't it . hope your chicks are doing well. i hate opossums. i had 4 silverlaced wyandotte pullets in a grow out pen in the back yard within 50 ft of my back door and a darn coon came in...

i wanna go canoeing... i love to canoe but have no one to go with, everyone i use to go with now has some kind of ache or pain that makes them not want to go. getting old is not for sissys. thought about learning to kayak so i can go by myself. and deb i am blessed in that i have lots of...

i saw an ad for piglets that were 1/2 American guinea hog 1/4 kunekune and 1/4 potbelly. i would have loved to get a couple of them to raise more on pasture but still have almost half a hog in my freezer so i really don't need them. my ex use to say there is a difference between wants and...

well the number 7 makes perfect sense if that is the size of your incubator. my incubator holds 42 hen eggs so i would have been stuffing as many eggs as she could hold under her and hoping for the best. I've got two duck hens trying to sit on one egg so I'm thinking about putting a bunch of...

you will be Barbara, a lot of really nice folks live here. important to remember that we all have different ideas about how things should be but everyone is very respectful and helpful. hope you like it here

kind of hard to be proud of passing down a cheap ole walmart blanket to your loved ones. i know that we all have to watch our pennys but pride in material and workmanship mean a lot.

your dh is so right. i call my chickens 'tiny velocirapters' because they will eat anything. i have tried and tried to impress on my dd and sil not to throw any food stuffs in the garbage can at my house because the goats get first dibs on some of it, the pigs get next choice and the chickens...

oh no, i know your son has to be crushed. I'm so sorry. is there any chance of talking to the landlord again and maybe he changing his mind? a meal worm is just not a good pet! i think the colony is a good idea tho. i know ds1 buys them to feed to the birds but i never have just because of...

glad your broody hen decided to stay put. i have a Muscovy hen that hatched out 19 ducklings last week. i knew she was sitting on a lot of eggs but never dreamed she would hatch that many. silly question but why didn't you put more than 7 eggs under her?

hope you can settle in and "bloom where you are planted". is this a property you are going to purchase or are you going to rent while you look for that perfect place? half an acre isn't much but it beats the heck out of an apartment. the puppy is adorable, what did you name her. her face...
