    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Oh sure! But goats can turn into giraffes when they want something you have and don't want you to get your hands on 'em, lol!

    Haven't accomplished a lot today but about to start a project. I need to put a north wall on a goat shelter. Thankfully it's a small shelter, lol. I'll need to cut down a piece of sheet metal. Thank goodness for electric tin snips. At least I hope it'll be easier using them. I've used them...

    hi everyone !

    HI and welcome from Texas! I had a grandmother who was very interested in self-sufficiency. She always had a garden and it fascinated me. I thought it was very cool to walk outside to the yard and grab free food, lol. When I became an adult I got to put my own ideas into place. Gardens...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Coffee - yumm! Not sure what's on the agenda today but I am sure I'll be busy. Mainly shifting birds around and need to catch a goat to get her wormed. Friendliest goat EVER - unless you want to catch her. Sigh....

    Marathon day in town yesterday. Shouldn't have been but it was. We needed to get new phones. Want - no. Need - yes. We were recently warned that our old phones (iPhone 8's) wouldn't support DH's diabetes app after the first of the year. ARGH! We spent several hours at the phone place...

    What's for dinner?

    Nothing! We were in town for hours today and DH's blood sugar was dropping so we had lunch in town. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, lol. Anyway - no cooking for me tonight. ;)

    Our weather forecast might convince me to stay inside for some time today too - at least in the middle of the day. Our high is forecast to be 86. Tomorrow 87! What the heck?

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I tucked in a few turnip seeds in a few bare spots. Then I looked at one of the empty beds and tried to decide if I could get 25 broccoli plants in there. Hmmmm, AI said 4 - 11! I dunno about that - I think I can do better, lol. I was thinking more like 15 and maybe 18 if they're really...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Agree! I have a couple of big jobs that are waiting for me but I can usually find something smaller and less challenging to do instead, lol. I need to rehang some gates - including planting new gate posts. I'm having a real hard time convincing myself to do those! Sometimes I have to sit...

    On my second cup of coffee. Morning feeding/chores was taken care of between the 1st and 2nd cup. Weather is quite comfortable at 73 degrees. We're headed for a high in the mid 80's. I'm not complaining but it IS November...cold will happen when it happens. I got 4 eggs yesterday out of the...

    What's for dinner?

    Got a free turkey the other day so it's about to go in the oven. After dinner tonight, I'll most likely debone and freeze it as I don't have room in my freezer for a whole turkey. Wouldn't ya know it - that freebie deal is still going on this week so I guess I'll buy another ham and get...

    Collards are planted - yay! Also a bit of oak leaf lettuce, tom thumb lettuce and some bok choy...or was it pak choy? I disremember. I have broccoli and cabbage seeds tucked into those cute little expandable peat pellets. They're sitting on top of the brooder in hopes that the bottom heat...
