Wow 2Dream, you and are having the same frustrations today! :hugs There is hope out there though. There are people, like those on this forum, who are raising their kids right, putting those priorities in order, and teaching about manners and common courtesy (sp??) I do kind of think it would...

Dace - Thank you for this thread. I don't know much about gardening, this is my first year getting anything to grow . .. I have learned allot from the links you added, thank you. So, we got peas, but since we are over 100 already (whew it's hot) my peas are now gone. However, (big excitement...

I don't, we have all of those spiders, too. I try to wear gloves, but hate my hands to sweat and I can't "feel" what I am doing. I get frustrated and pull them off. I guess I like the feel of the dirt. I am very new to gardening, though. Maybe once the newness of the feel of the dirt wears...

We picked about a dozen strawberries today. :-) yumm. Our strawberry plants are small, but starting to get runners and I am excited that they have grown so well (as in I haven't killed them off ) and hopefully next year they will still be going very strong. :fl sooo, something very...

:clap That is fantastic! I love it

So glad to see you on here. You look wonderful. Sounds like you all have been getting allot done around your place. :clap

:yuckyuck I was laughing at that, at my desk at work . . heeheeeee I am sure the chicken labour unions understand the chickens are well paid! Better wages than their industrial counterparts, anyway. Too funny. I am sure your neice enjoyed driving that tractor! My grandma tought me to...

Most places by property management companies here do not allow much as far as pets go, but places that are offered for rental in the paper, when I called and asked most of them were willing to allow pets, even chickens and other farm animals. I will say that most of those were outside of city...

Ok, Amos, you did awesome with that map! I am in Oklahoma, hear the center of the state between the 2 state capitols (the original was Guthrie and the current and "official", which is Oklahoma City) Here it gets hot in the summer, we have a few days in the low 100's (I have only lived here 3...

I love the soap in stocking idea. I will have to implement that. I love this thread!

Thank you for the warm welcomes. Unfortunately we have no leash law in our county. The animal control represenative that my husband spoke with did say that we can do what ever we feel we need to in order to protect our property when the dog is on our property. So, I am thinking my husband and...

I started most of my seeds in toilet paper rolls this year. When they were ready to plant, I just opened the bottom I had folded up and planted them so the roots could grow out. It worked well with my corn. I think I will use them to make Christmas crackers this year for my kids and nephews.

We save little bits of left overs from dinner and freeze them for a lunch later, that is a rarity as I have 1 teen boy and another nearly there, but we add water to empty ketchup, shake it up to get the rest all mixed in, refridgerate it and add it to our next batch of chilli, soup or pasta...

:clap Thank you so much for sharing your pics! Lovely garden and yard and adorable boys.

Becca - I am new, just read through our journal. You seem so wonderful! I wish I coul meet some of you wonderful ladies in person! I have an emden goose named "Thor" (my husband named her for the Nordic god of war . . hoping she will be arnry with the boys next door) and another goose, who...

Amos - I love your turkey run! That vine looks great! I had never thought of doing that. You have inspired me to try something similar with mine. Do you think they would be safe to plan around rabits?

I am so exstatic! We harvested our first ever peas, my husband and younger son built the nest boxes and installed them in the coop yesterday. Today, we got a statement on a student loan (the last one we have to pay off) taht we owe $119! I am so excited! We had $110 budgeted for them this...

Maybe part of the lesson is to be open to what He has in store, even if it is a short journey along the path. I think it is fantastic, the way the whole thing has worked out. :love

Th bread looks great! Congrats! I am excited to see what you come up with now that you have that first loaf under your belt. :clap
