had brunch with some friends this morning. we are all old retired nurses, we had a total of 120 years of nursing experience between the 4 of us. oh my, the war stories we tell. i have to feel sorry for the people sitting close to us in the café, lol. doesn't take long for some of them to...

yup, raining here too. not near as much as youall have and I'm thanking the good Lord for every drop. we need it bad. pond behind the house is down almost 6 ft from this spring.

gee, ds#3 is like that, doesn't want to carry gas for the mower in her car but it is ok for me to carry it in mine. they are both suv's so has to go inside. being the stubborn sister that i am i won't mow her yard unless she gets the gas and she has gone most of the summer without her yard...

i have run into the same problem with some of my goats this year, worm and worm again and they still come up pale eyed. then i lost a doe to barber pole worms a couple of months ago and at about the same time i saw an article that connected copper deficiency to increased parasite...

@Beekissed that looks awesome! you did a great job.

yea for the 4x4's. they will be so good for the pens. be careful filling that pit kiddo. I'd hate to see you or the tractor stuck in there.

sorry dh has to go thru this. even tho youall know that he is the scape goat in this whole thing doesn't make it any easier to swallow. on the other hand the fact that he is out and away from all that stress is a good thing. and he is so right, i found out the hard way that its much better to...

hard to make a complete meal of pretty purple flowers. pull it out and plant a garden instead girl. i had some thistles come up in my garden last year. talk about thorny and hard to get rid of. hows things?

just got a text from a friend of mine along with a picture of a huge black bear, did i say huge! was on his game cam and it's not but 2 miles from my house. and saw a picture of a 9 ft rattlesnake that was killed at the base of the mountain behind me last week. again less than 2 miles from...

sounds like your little part of the world is coming together. i envy you the yoga classes. i have to drive 45 mins to get to a class. don't mind the time as much as the expense of the gas. @Britesea the heifer project has been one of my Christmas traditions for years. i give every one in my...

me too @Britesea. that or poke weed. not a bad thing in the early spring but grows big and strong quickly and is hard to get rid of. the birds love it tho.

had to have a tooth cut out yesterday. whine, whine, whine!!! visualize a tulip, flower on top was the broken part, long stem was the root and it had a bulb on the end. not easy to get out, had to wiggle it back and forth like an old fence post to loosen it before he could pull it out. i...

poor ralphie, anyone around the barn look guilty? I'm voting skunk. for some reason they seem to like chicken heads. is the fun show tomorrow or Saturday week? i hope you manage to go. work is always there but life is to short to miss a horse show.

do you have a "health food store" near you? if you think $3.00 a dozen is to much to charge for free range eggs go in there and check out what they want for them. i almost had a heart attack!! and when i get my flock pared down to just my hens I'm going to try the fermented feed. I've seen a...

in my humble opinion your son shows much wisdom for not wanting to incur student loans. my sil is trying to pay off huge loans. it will take them many, many years at 500. a month to pay off his education. so many of the new nurses i worked with have $50,000+ in loans. they could have...

:hugs so sorry mama is acting out again or really it is still isn't it. hold on tight for the ride. and you are so right to keep on with the things that keep you sane, goats, baby chicks or whatever. I've used the cattle panel around the hay bale thing and it works pretty good. never...
