With help of neighbors, I processed 3 lambs yesterday. Quartered and on ice, I'll be cutting and vacuum sealing today after church. and tomorrow after taking my sister in law to Physical Therapy. Ive never processed my lambs, just couldn't do it. Neighbor shot them, then we hung them off the...

This is great! You are learning the pressure canner! Pictures! Pictures please!

I'm not even looking back on my resolutions. I have a list of stuff I want done this winter, but have not touched them yet. I've been running my ex sister in law to doctors, now to Physical Therapy and not much doing anything for me. Almost done, then I'll hit it here, might even get something...

Houston weather news this morning going on and on about a FROST next week! HORRORS!! Quick! Everybody rush to the store for bread and milk! :lol:

Haven't been here is quite awhile. Just been doing BYH and that's all. I veered off somewhere into LaLa Land. Past 3 months Ive been on a dead run for my ex sister in law. She lost a leg above the knee, to diabetes complications 3 months ago. Her son, DIL and babies have been in south Florida...

It’s hot, hot and more hot. Stand in the shade, do nothing and be dripping wet in a very few minutes. Miserable.

I wonder too why people want to build homes on such places. Beachfront, cliffside, riverfront, all are doomed to someday fall to the whims of nature. God designed and put into place the forces of nature. He doesn’t create every storm. Nature and weather patterns create storms. It is up to us to...

No produce auctions here, never been to one. We have farmers markets, but not auctions. Farmers markets are geared towards small purchases, 3 tomatoes, 4 potatoes, a few of everything.

That’s GREAT news on your DH check ups! I’m glad he is doing so well. ❤️ Grandkids are the best!

@CrealCritter im so sorry about the lost calves. It’s just one of the things about having livestock. You just have to take the bad with the good. I look at it this way; I’ll take the losses, I’ll take the hits, I’ll take the heartache, because the joys far outweigh the sadness of loss. If I...

What a fun time!

I did chores, loaded Carson in the truck and went to get diesel. I fueled the mule and took him for a ride. Happy dog.

Next time, soak it in the bathtub overnight. Go agitate it a few times. Next morning, drain, add fresh water, agitate, can use hands or baseball bat or broom handle…. Drain. Rinse again. Drain. You can let it drain awhile or get in bathtub and “stomp grapes” LOL Put in laundry basket and drag it...

I’ve lived in hurricane country most of my life. Still do, but a little farther inland now. I’m 177 miles from Galveston, just a short hop for a major hurricane. I’ve gone 3 weeks without power, used a small generator for refrigerator and freezer, a fan and TV. When the whole area has no power...

I used to make lots of jam and jelly. My picky grandkids only like raspberry jam and only 1 particular brand. I don’t eat much because of sugar and carbs. So why bother.
