Hi, and welcome from Texas! Glad you joined us. I have goats, chickens, quail and pigs. I've been trying to get my garden planted and am making slow but steady progress. I enjoy preserving food also. I recently got pineapples on sale and used them in various ways. I dehydrated some, made...

I worked outside for several hours today until the rain started. We've been getting steady but very light rain for a couple hours now. Not much hope that it's a drought buster, but it's needed so we'll take it! Working on laundry now. Yippee!

I hauled a cart of barn gold, and two carts of old hay up to the raised bed area. I wanted to create a space to plant Argonaut squash. It's not in a raised bed, but just in a corner of the area. I worked up about an 18 inch square, added barn gold, laid cardboard around it and mulched with...

Slackers!

Woke up a little before 6 to DH's low blood sugar alarm. Got that taken care of and he's back asleep. I'm not, lol. I'm ok with it. It's actually later than I sometime sleep. Want to hit the ground running as soon as the sun is up - if it's not raining. It's out there, but coverage is...

I feel your pain! BTDT...

I have thought about it... and I did some years ago. It tasted really good!

Lamb, wine and rosemary is a match made in heaven! I need some lamb!

Sure hope so! Working on the first cup. We have to head out in about an hour to get some blood work on DH. Quick feed store run after that and back home to more gardening. Whoop!

Spent several hours cleaning up a couple more raised beds - three actually. One needs more dirt because the pigs got into it and rooted all the dirt out. Grrrr! They can't access it anymore thank you very much, lol. I need to get my tractor back from DS so I can scrape some dirt offa the...

DH is sore from his dental work but at least the worst of it is behind him. Today's plan is to get some more gardening work done. I need to clean out several more raised beds and get more seeds in the ground. I want to plant some Argonaut winter squash and need to find a place for it. It's...

Slept in a little after yesterday! Coffee is a hit - as usual. First cup down - going for second one now.

After 3.5 hours in the dentist chair, I asked Dh what he wanted for dinner. Soup wasn't on his list - but ice cream was, lol! He will get some sugar free ice cream at some point tonight. Probably after another nap.

Probably something soft since DH has a big dental appt. today. Soup maybe...

Well.....DUH!
