Have my cuppa and contemplating the upcoming day. What should I do? Outside work or inside work or split it up? I have 16 chicks in the brooder that need to come out. Need to work on an outside pen for them this morning. But wait - DH just informed me that he's out of meds. Need to go get...

That sounds awesome!

Woo hoo - upgrade!!

DH had chili and I had a bacon/tomato sandwich. Crazy thing is that my cherokee purple tomatoes that I planted in spring are still producing. The earlier ones were inundated with stink bugs despite my best efforts. There are still a few bugs around (but just a few) and I'm able to trim out...

Good hubby! I love mine! It's just regular size, but it does the job.

Thanks ya'll! I think I'll do these in the dehydrator. If I get more, I'll can 'em. I need to check my stock of 1/2 pint jars.

Fresh pineapples are on sale at my store. I bought two today and am tempted to go back for more. I'm trying to decide if I should dehydrate them or can them? Anybody have experience with either?

I've getting the baby broccoli plants tucked into the garden. :fl

Sounds like a good start. I've made it before by cooking the squash and extras until really soft and reducing the broth a little at the same time. Then I hit it with the immersion blender and added some cream to thicken and make it yummy (maybe even a little softened cream cheese if you like...

We had snack-y plates tonight. Some tomato/cucumber salad, a couple chunks of cheese, olives, pickled okra, smoked oysters and crackers. No cooking - not much clean up! We should do that more often!

you can whine, lol. I do enough of it! But, I'm glad to have that part done. Stil have one more side. It's smaller but I'll have to make an angled cut to account for the sloping roof. I will NOT be tackling that tomorrow.

Stick a fork in me - I'm done! Got the back wall on the goat shelter. It really, really did NOT want to cooperate but I was able to beat it into submission. Or maybe I drilled it into submission...I dunno. Gathered my supplies which was part of the problem. I couldn't find a drill bit to...

Up and at 'em this morning. I started a project yesterday that I'll finish up this morning. Working on a goat shelter that needs two walls added to the frame. This is a small shelter so it's not like I'm building a barn, lol. I cut sheet metal yesterday for the back wall and I'll get it...
