    What's for dinner?

    At least you have cats that'll love you 😁 A friend gave me a batch of older fish, same thing, strong -- just for my cats. They were thrilled.

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Excellent early bee foraging. There's a good amount of it here, too. I've seen some dandelion flowering. Now there's a "weed" that's not only tasty but full of nutrition. I fight for them to reseed. My goats love them. They make tasty greens in salads & sauted. I have a couple huge...

    What's for dinner?

    Today's...& 2 more hens are in the nests to contribute 🫣. Guess quiche should happen. Just gave away 7 dz. Yeah, way too many hens. But they're sure pretty eggs.

    We DO APPRECIATE your work & sharing. Not all of us can have everything we would like but, sharing helps the crave. Plus the learning curve. If we lived close, I'd be trading fresh milk for fresh peaches!! :lol: :lol: might sneak a few spears of asparagus too. I've got cheese for it. 👍

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Actually, back in the day, you ate your canned or went hungry. 🤷 My grands had no electric, little lone a vehicle. You grew it, preserved it, or did without. That puts a new meaning to life & a groc store. 😁. Finding a wild fruit or nut tree was special. Those people lined at McD and can't...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I'm using pretty much full time. Gotta get it eaten. Habit, convenience, retraining mindset. Otherwise, why do it? Milk -- easy to do. Look out Carnation! :lol: Definitely that same taste. But I use for cooking, there's that. Same for hot tea but, I prefer the fresh for that during season.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    😳 Looked in pantry with canned goods to place these qts of chicken in there. Really, it's almost embarrassing -- I have to rearrange to have room. Seems I felt a need to prepare for years. So overstocked. Maybe never buy again. And I'm looking at a garden? Why? Tomatoes would be main thing...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Not warm enough for the porch yet. So coffee inside! Enjoying a morning without the "rush" to get chores done & off to work. Five long days in a row, so this morning I'm slacking. The animals are wondering what's up 😁 It's an at home day with plenty to do. DW & laundry going. It's a...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    Good job! I'm still thinking to cut back to 2-3 good dairy girls & enough Boer to keep things eaten down. They take less "hands on" without the milking chores. BUT I'm not ready to give up my fresh milk dairy stuff. There are days when 2 dairy & 6 hens look good. :lol: It's aging out thoughts.

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Those blooms are looking good. I love a tree ripe peach. It's like an entirely different world from those store fakes. 😊 You've worked hard on your orchard & it's payback time. You got a nice harvest from first fruiting last yr, should be over the top this yr How's your asparagus bed going...

    What's for dinner?

    Hot sausage links (Mexican w/jalapeno), potatoes, cabbage, onion, green peppers, etc...decently tasty. The jalapenos were a touch hot in some sausage rounds but, over all ok. Not a sausage I'd eat normally due to the jalapeno peppers. Mixed it mellowed out. A mistake buy. So use it up! 😂...
