a day at a time kiddo. and a pig at a time too. it will all get done slowly but surely and won't go anywhere before you get to it. sometimes I wish it would just leave so I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. I know how you feel about the pigs. I got two gilts to grow out and butcher...

so glad you enjoyed the grandkids. enjoy them because one day soon they will be all grown up. glad they like the dead pig. can't you just hear them when they go back to school and tell everyone they ate dead pig at grandma's house.

me, my friends, a couple of beers and a new meaning to the word tipsy.

I have a frost free faucet for winter use and I love. use to have to carry 5 gal. water buckets thru the snow to the barn. that was killer. unfortunately an unwethered buck will definitely get unsafe as they become sexually mature even if there are no does around. and he will begin to stink...

yup, what Sumi said. milk this pregnancy while you can.

thought i'd update youall on the dogs. JJ is doing just great, you'd never know she had been bitten by a copperhead. emma on the other hand is still a little off, just not back to her rotten self. I keep telling myself that she is old and it's just going to take her a while. time will tell...

I had a canon 35mm slr that was older than cooters pup and it finally bit the dust. I've been thinking about looking at the canon digital slr's. not really sure what I want or how much money i'll have to buy it. I think the pictures you are posting are really great. thanks for the info.

i'm one of those that was here and then wandered away for a while. there is truly a lot of good info here and good people who are willing to share their experiences. life ebbs and flows but goes on in spite of what happens. i'm kind of like @baymule and @Mini Horses I don't really think of...

wow kiddo x2 what NH homesteader said. I sure hope the meds and exercises do the trick. you take care of you.

honest to goodness @Hinotori you have the greatest chicken pics I've seen in a long time. I love how they will let you pose them. you may have said somewhere and I missed it but what kind of camera are you using?

how is DH's foot? if he is to stubborn to go to the doc if needed then drag his hinder there. but if he and the bootleg antibiotics are doing ok then just have fun with the grands. I hope youall won't be upset if I don't come for the grand party but my only grand child is 23 not and she isn't...

I sure hope you have a good time with the grands while they are with you. one last hurrah before school starts again. as soon as i win the lottery or publishers clearing house comes to my door I'll buy us all a trip to Ireland together that's always been a dream of mine.

first I want to say hi to both you @crealbilly and you too @Chic Rustler I've been gone a while and am slowly but surely catching up on all the older members and you new guys too. both of youall's gardens look really great. all I did in my gardentoday was pour a concoction I made up for...

@Chic Rustler the best bee advice I can give you is to go over to our sister site Backyard Herds and check things out. they have a very active bunch of beeple and will be happy to answer any questions you have.

git 'em baymule. don't wait till he comes to you go after him first. and keep at it. make it so he won't take his eyes off you because he never knows what you are going to do.

nope, little bitty seeds didn't get squashed.

poor emma, when she was a youngster everyone told me she was the ugliest dog around and truth be told she did have a face that only a mother could love but that big happy personality of hers won everyone over. she is a much loved gal. and she is a hard worker around here. JJ is my major...

i'm guilty of saving, ok hoarding seeds. @Beekissed I learned to stretch one of those knee high nylon stockings over seeds that I wanted to save from the birds. plant continues to grow and mature buy the birds can't get to the seeds. I also found out that elderberry seeds won't germinate...

wow @tortoise I couldn't ask for nicer chickens. isn't that weird, same source different attitudes. some of the hens will come up and eat grain out of my hand and the roo has never been aggressive. mean roos go in the pot here. well, is the barn up yet kiddo? I hope you are taking care...

thought i'd let youall know that both of my snake bite girls are doing ok. JJ's face has gone down nicely and she acts like she feels fine. emma on the other hand has been pretty lethargic all day. i'm not sure whether she feels bad because of the snake bite or because I over dosed her on...
