I've been out of the loop for awhile, so I need a reminder....are we allowed to link to our blogs or is that considered "advertising other sites"?
Thanks.
(maybe should have asked before putting my blog in my sig line?)
because we have new opportunities for vast farm improvements opening up to us and a million new projects that we've discussed, that I do not want to have to wait for spring!!
First, Dh is getting a new storage barn for all his tools, etc. and putting it closer to the house so things are easier...
I think if anyone on here knows anything about me, it's I'm addicted to my chickens and I really do enjoy having them.
I need to make a list of pros and cons - reasons to keep or not to keep poultry. Seriously.
The deal is this - we're going to have regular income. Enough income, that we...
So I think everyone on here knows justusnak has a mama pot belly pig with 4 babies...
well, we're trying to work out transport to get those piggies from her place in Indiana to my place in Ohio. Even the rescue she's fostering the piggies for is on board with working out transport.
I haven't...
I've been asking E all day for a fire in the woodburner, because it's chilly. I've kept long sleeves on all day, so has he, and Baby Girl has been bundled up in a sleeper and blankets. E finally walks into the room addition and says, "Whoa! It's cooler out here than in there!"
So he's building...
I just realized - I'M SPENDING PREMIERE WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL!!
I totally SUCK at remembering what shows come on what day, and on what channel - especially since the hospital t.v.'s do NOT have the plain local channels - they've got fancy DirecTV or Dish or something.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
I...
Ok so E and I missed the season finale last season, due to "we interrupt this program" and next week is the Season Premiere - and I'm super stoked because that's the day Baby Girl and I should be home that day....
Anyhooo......
so tonight they played what I think must have been the season...
our heifer has come into heat....we suspected she may have had a cycle before, but never really saw signs....
this time she's showing signs i.e. has swelling but no bleeding....
but the biggest sign is.....................
she's standing at the fence by the road screaming as loudly as...
I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap, and I think I messed it up and totally flopped it somehow.
I just want to cry - over laundry, yes, because baby boy had an accident in his pants - so I washed them all proud that I MADE the soap myself - and I followed the recipe, etc. His pants...
I'm just curious if any of ya'll have skills you still want to learn, or haven't tried yet?
I've made some "pet quilts" but they weren't really "quilted", so I'm thinking I want to expound on that and jump into making real quilts, and learn how to quilt.
I'd also like to learn how to mend and...
A Kmart employee as we were leaving asked, "Are you ready to check out?"
We told her we had just come to see if they had the travel system I wanted and she said Oh Ok.
She looks at Baby Boy and smiled and asked, " When are you due?" and I said 3 weeks.
She then asked, "do you know what you're...
My DD and I are making Tiny Pies - or at least we want to. Please tell me how long to bake these and at what temp?? We're doing either Peach or Blackberry Tiny pies - probably both! :)
And we're each eating our OWN! Because I don't want to share. :hide
If anyone else knows how long, and at...

SEPTEMBER IS ALMOST HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am taking my huge, waddling, extremely cranky hormonal self down the dirt road to the Amish that got Ash logs from us - and didn't pay. :somad
E said if I go down and "request" (more like rant/rave/demand) payment from him, then I can have the money for whatever I want to use it for.
Phone...
A fellow came to work on Monday with 2 black eyes. His coworker asked "Alfred,how did you get 2 black eyes?" "Well, yesterday in church, we all stood up to sing, and I noticed the heavy lady in front of me had her skirt caught in her crevice. I pulled it out & she whopped me one!" "Well, Al...
even our Russian Orloff rooster didn't like her! He's our wimpiest rooster - but he definitely wanted a piece of this woman!
She came to pick up the extra crib and a few other extra baby items I have. She said she's trying to help a woman who's due with a baby girl in December who had...
So I'm kinda weird, I guess, when it comes to naming my children.
I don't believe in Nicknames.
I name my kids what I want them to be called. Granted, all of the kids have had pet names here and there (DD was our little Belle - not a part of her name at all - and our oldest DS was Turtle...
Ok so I'm kind of thinking - especially with food prices going way way way up - about creepy meats.
I am 5 and a half weeks away from having the baby (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I know they are ready to process in 6-8 weeks, so I'm thinking after we have her, ordering some creepy meats, and if I...
I was just thinking, emergency preparedness doesn't necessary mean a world wide emergency, sometimes the emergency can be on a personal level, right?
In other words, I'm totally dragging my feet in packing mine and the baby's hospital bag.
I've done this 5 times already, this will be my 6th...
