    Rain this morning. Started 3ish and supposedly about to blow on out shortly. They suggested about 1.5"... We'll see. Goats are in barns...wet feet, no thanks attitude. Slowly having coffee -- mostly indoor day. :caf :idunno

    When I think 30 chicks, feed, and butchering days -- I'm suddenly between .... "Is there really too many chems in store bought?" And "should I be vegetarian?" :lol: :lol: The butchering is gross in so many ways, BTDT. Hard to get started. Once you do, you plow on thru, mumbling nasty things...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Saw a lady at the tractor dealer today...Christmas decorating was a discussion there & while others went wild, she & I agreed that we do nothing & feel fine with that😄 We're both alone & just not bothering. Were both also age mature ! Love to see others & remember when I did such things.

    It's been a couple very cold days/nights here and early temps for area. Today is warming! Thankful for that. There's new parts that need to be put on truck & tractor. Truck is worn/maintenance stuff. But tractor, I'm praying these solve the not useable issues. I'm home and desperately need...

    Cornish Cross 2025

    Yeah....honestly with cost of chicks, cost of feed, time & trouble, you can buy on sale for equal or less. May not be as large but, way less trouble. I use a heavy type bird in my flock. They go broody. Plus I have an incubator. Really the roos get a real nice size for chicken meats. Not...

    How are the piggies coming along? I haven't gone there yet. But it's on my mind here & there 😁 With T-day, my back burner want for some pretty turkey birds come back. Still holding the line there, too. Less goats has happened too. 🤔 Downsizing?

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Are these the ones her mom picked, then didn't use??? Wow, that's a bunch of fruits and work. But the greens can be left for another week😁 to ripen more & spread out the kitchen time.
