Whatever front is moving thru has brought strong wind! Steady 20+ mph & dropping temps, misty rain. Ruined my day! 😞

Good detective work! No one wants to waste time, effort & product. Thanks for the lesson.

63 at get up.😳 Dropping to 30 tonight...crazy weather!!

Yeah -- but 70 yrs ago that wasn't so easy. 😁 And I was 10 then. The things we take for granted now! :old :lol:

Christmas at my maternal grands was helping decorate the tree. They'd cut one out of the woods. Decorations were some collected balls, popcorn strung up and paper garlands. They had no electric so, no lights. Presents were rarely more than one per person. Of course there was a bag of hard...

I need colostrum for freezer this year!! Totally out. But looks like I'll get lucky soon. First two bagging are 1 dairy & 1 boer. Both have been heavy milk producers. Thinking mid Jan 🤷 better get a couple stalls ready. Weather we've had is just too strange and colder, earlier. I need a...

Since I'm only one eating, potato flakes work nicely. Yep, no peeling, cooking, mashing -- hot liquid, stir, set a couple minutes. Works for me. If more people, I'll go the peel route. 😁 One package has 2 meals for me. 🤷

AND it's actually fairly healthy!! 😋

That looks so tasty! Nice job. I like adding the potatoes after, while heating. I use some of my canned ones like that for meals. Saves time, uses resources. 👍

Started my day with coffee & pumpkin pie :caf 😁

Happy holidays to all!!! ❤️❤️😊

Yesterday I used the last of a turkey breast up. Clear from frig. Made turkey & dumplings 😁. Fed DD & DS....so, much of it was eaten. Now I only have 2 meals of it to consume. This morn, the carcass was in a pot to make broth & scraps for the 9 feral cats that live here. Merry Christmas to...

You're in a good place...many on here garden, can, dehydrated, freeze dry & freeze. Most of the usual preservation methods. Good advice & friendly people. Welcome from VA. I saw you joined on BYH, too. 😊

I'm working thru some apples...not completely sure what they will end up as -- applesauce, apple butter, or ?? Something canned!! Just getting too ripe & need processing! Chickens loving the scraps 😋 Saved some for goat treats. Have more, not over ripe, to make pie today/tomorrow. Pumpkin...

Outside yesterday I did a few of those little things we see "in passing" and think that we need to take a few minutes to fix. Well I actually stopped and did a couple 😋👍 Not all but, a start. Hope to just ride the property with mower pulling a cart today. The winds last week have gifted me...

And you guys in the NW are facing another big rain event. I'm so sorry! The flooding continues 😖 In general, weather has been weird & harsh everywhere for 2025. Hoping better for 2026.

That's hurricane speed!! :duc:th

Looks like mid 60 here on Christmas. Trust me, I won't complain either!! This week or so of mid winter cold is the pits! I pulled 2" water toppers out yesterday from water tubs...left from the 7-10* nights. Not impressed. Goats weren't either 😵‍💫 50 today & low 60s back for 10 days...

That's a fact -- & a nap later! I have those same days. No guilt. :old

Here it's just COLD!!! Winds about 15 mph from NW. We have temps of 7* with winds :ep🥶🥶. Last night, too.
