Traditional for us- I'll be making a ham, deviled eggs, a green veggie of some kind, and chocolate pie. DS is smoking a turkey. There will be various other sides from other family members.

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...

^ Story of my life right there!

Oh sure! But goats can turn into giraffes when they want something you have and don't want you to get your hands on 'em, lol!

Thanks! I really need to study up on silkie color genetics. I stay confused, lol!

Haven't accomplished a lot today but about to start a project. I need to put a north wall on a goat shelter. Thankfully it's a small shelter, lol. I'll need to cut down a piece of sheet metal. Thank goodness for electric tin snips. At least I hope it'll be easier using them. I've used them...

HI and welcome from Texas! I had a grandmother who was very interested in self-sufficiency. She always had a garden and it fascinated me. I thought it was very cool to walk outside to the yard and grab free food, lol. When I became an adult I got to put my own ideas into place. Gardens...

Coffee - yumm! Not sure what's on the agenda today but I am sure I'll be busy. Mainly shifting birds around and need to catch a goat to get her wormed. Friendliest goat EVER - unless you want to catch her. Sigh....

I love me some Mooooo Shu!

Marathon day in town yesterday. Shouldn't have been but it was. We needed to get new phones. Want - no. Need - yes. We were recently warned that our old phones (iPhone 8's) wouldn't support DH's diabetes app after the first of the year. ARGH! We spent several hours at the phone place...

Nothing! We were in town for hours today and DH's blood sugar was dropping so we had lunch in town. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, lol. Anyway - no cooking for me tonight. ;)

Our weather forecast might convince me to stay inside for some time today too - at least in the middle of the day. Our high is forecast to be 86. Tomorrow 87! What the heck?
