This is what happens when people don’t know what they are doing and breed blue and lavender together. Anything that doesn’t come out black they just call lavender, without realizing it’s just blue or splash. Very likely they had a splash rooster over lavender hens, so they didn’t get any black...

There’s your mistake right there! We learned this the hard way when we had a contractor replace our roof, siding and windows. Never pay them part way through for the portion of work that is completed. Because then they have no motivation to come back and do the rest. I’m glad your guy got the...

There is a Crooked Creek here too. (Indianapolis) And welcome!

I absolutely LOVE roundabouts. When we moved to Indiana, the traffic in our (growing popular) county was horrible. Over the last 19 years they have put in a bazillion roundabouts, and fixed a lot of congestion.

So cute! @Hinotori

Aww, I’m sorry about the lamb. :( Was it one of Ringo’s?:hit

Thanks guys!

Guys, I’m so excited! I’ve been working on a “Purple Egger” project for years. I started with some nice brown eggs that had a purplish bloom on them, and at the time my only rooster was a Penedesenca. I’m not sure which hens laid the purplish eggs, but their offspring laid even better ones...

They can learn, but I only give them a few chances. If they keep it up, I get rid of them. Either eat them, or if they are a special breed, I put them on Craigslist and see if it’s worth it to somebody else to give them another chance. Lavender Orpington might be in demand where you are. Or...

Dreamz, do you have a Meijer near you? They have a shaped sugar cookie that they put out for different holidays in their bakery department. They are the best! They will probably get in some flower shape ones for Easter. Coated with colored sugar. But they go fast. I completely missed the heart...

:lol: I must confess. We didn’t end up having salad after all. When I opened the bag of salad and started to pour it into bowls, it was slimy! :thAnd I only bought it just yesterday! Even the carrot slivers were mushy, and I’ve never seen the carrots go bad in bagged salad before. It’s usually...

Oh, and we are going to have salad for dinner 😂

Ha ha ha Thank you!

Wait, is this a diet thread or a ruin your diet thread?! I always wanted to try making artistic looking sugar cookies so on Thursday I spent hours making icing and piping it onto some cookies that I had made the day before. I get impatient so I didn’t make them quite as carefully as I had...

I would think that the average homesteading family wouldn’t need an American Top Five dairy breed for just their family. Seems like that would be over the top production. Like @farmerjan said, other breeds, crosses and multi purpose cattle would provide milk and meat. I would like to have a...

That’s what our schools switched to for my youngest’s last few years. One month off in summer, and then 2 week breaks in October, December and I can’t remember the other one, but it was part way through the spring.

Yes! Start a journal! I love reading peoples journals. Maybe some day if I get the time and an interesting enough life, I will start one. And I thought you were giving hubs the boot. Must be an update around somewhere that I missed. It’s hard with 4 sister forums to keep up with. We were...

So Bay, I’ve seen a sharp drop off in the photos of your yummy meals and calorie/carb listing. Does that mean you have gone back to the “don’t know-don’t care” method of eating? 😂 I need to look more closely at the volume of sweetened creamer I put in my morning chicory coffee-tea. It’s easy...
