DH and kids came over for New Years and then he left with the 2 little ones. I got busy but not as much as I could have, if I had no interruptions. I tried getting myself drunk, because I thought it might be fun to clean the house while under the influence, but I actually didn't drink enough...

I can only move them at night, if I have them already on a wagon or something I can calmly transport, without freaking them out. If its a really sunny day, I can just smoke them and take the supers apart and relocate them, but I know what you mean. I have 2 of them that are actually a bit of a...

Very pretty flock!!! I bet it took them 3 minutes to spread that around.

At first I wanted to select all of the above, because I plan on doing all of that, but I could only cast one vote, so selected income generating, also. Besides, I already do all of those things already, but could use a bit more income. I'm trying to get my garden picture perfect before...

I have 2 gifts I need to go out and collect. One is a trampoline frame, which is given to me after a little storm because of a ripped mat and looks like 2 of the sides for the protection net is bent......this I plan on using for a two season purpose. I thought I could raise chicks in it for...

I know it wouldn't be ideal, but if I had to slaughter beef, I'd roll it onto a tarp for cleanliness and then begin by skinning one side and cutting off the limbs and beginning to remove some of the mid sections, then rolling it over, onto the other side and repeating the process. Naturally I'd...

Sorry......bad weather today and had to go to the city for something that came up. I want a day time picture and then go out and look at night time, because some of the look alike plants claimed the plant had different behaviors in day and night. It would be awesome to find out I have a...

I really don't understand any of my field books. Most of them have drawings instead of pics and what pics they do have aren't all 100% perfect for identifying purposes. In herbal studies, what you don't know, can kill you.

I am not sure, but I pulled it out and brought it in the house and it has some closed buds, with what seems to be yellow flowers inside. I searched through plants. They resemble purslane but the leaves are serrated. The plant also looks a bit like a primrose. I am good with the herbal...

The highest I have let them get is waist high, when things are a total mess. I don't recall berries. Their roots get almost as long as the plant, so I just pull them out when they are little, if its at a place I really need to have weed free. If its all over the garden area and bees, I cut...

Clean up time!!!!

Sorry took so long DD, but here is the spiny weed that grows all over my yard and I now have to pull it out from my asparagus bed. The only thing the animals munch on is the leaves. The goat just eats a bit off the top.

The A frame is mainly for me to use as a canopy, both for when its being used to house birds for cleaning purposes and as a reverse fence.....some of my birds might fly in the gardens, so I need to be able to keep them out when necessary. But I totally NEED to have a huge success in the garden...

Looks like when I get into the killing mode, I stay in it a while. I was late getting up this morning because of the little black monsters that were waking me last night (fear, uncertainty, loneliness, whatever), and DD12 was complaining of pains in her knees so I went out to do...

We mainly have shrimp, several types of fish,squid, crabs, escargot and oysters in the Gulf. I use my fish heads as coon bait usually. I love coon too. Now I can for sure prepare seafood real fast by most people's standards, but probably only average by Cajun standards. Wish I could do my...

It took me 2 hours to slaughter 5 birds. I guess I'm just slow, but I had to hand pluck. The skin on those little broilers were just too tender, by the time I scalded them and the plucker was ripping them to shreds. I hope BIL's boss doesn't mind, but those little birds all fit neatly into a...

DS owes me $$$$ now in a big way....sorta. I paid out all the expenses a few days ago, which he usually gives me $250 toward bills AND last night I paid for his boat, trailer and trawl engine for $950....which is probably a steal, so tomorrow we have to call to get $$$ out of his investments...

I've never been to New Zealand but I lived in Lakes Entrance, Vic when I was really little. I'm a bit ignorant about the tribal issues....I would have just thought you were somehow just very dark complected, which could be explained any number of ways. Very cute children and very no-nonsense...

Its funny I'm up so early because I had trouble sleeping for knowing I had boiled down the turkey bones for broth from Christmas dinner. I was at it until about 8:00PM and then uncovered to cool and continued to stir, until I finally got up in the wee hours to remove all the bones and cartilage...

Its been a while, but I need to decrease expenses here and I have been given 10 broilers, I need to tend to on a 50/50 basis. They really aren't ready, but I will do the 50% that is leaving today or tomorrow and finish off my share when they have more weight to them in a few weeks. If I'm...
