It’s been raining and stuff is complicated. I didn’t realize it had rained so much last night and I’m glad DH put his hoop coop where he did. I think I have been caring for our small flock of Barred Rocks now for around 2 or 3 weeks. I bought one single sack of hen scratch and I noticed DH had...

Hello. I’m getting ready for a storm and I think it will get cold. I WANT A GARDEN!!! I don’t even have room for any more meat in the freezer with all DH’s catfish, the shrimp he buys when his buddy is tired of waiting on the boat and he just wants to sell everything for a price we can’t refuse...

When DH and I first got together we each had farms we tended to separately. Either of us were able to do it all with no assistance from the other if necessary. He has done both of our chores when I had pneumonia and I have done it when he had an illness but since Ida and both of us having a...

I know I live in the warmest climate on the forum (probably anyway) but I woke up to a pretty chilly house and took pity on Trouble by lighting the heater but I decided early to get the house warmer by killing two birds with one stone. So I burned some crisco in a cast iron pot on the stove (gas...

Today was anti-procrastination day. Before getting on the road with DH, I planted some Ponderosa Lemon seeds and some onion roots and the end of a celery. DH and I then fed the pigs, collected venison from his cousin (neck roast and a leg), checked all our mail, did two more errands then I went...

Have no idea what is wrong with me but I just got over a UTI (at least I think so) and suddenly my left leg wants to fail me at random times when I’m walking, standing, trying to sit down. I get some strange, unpleasant sensation and then it hurts. So far I haven’t fallen down. But I did submit...

Excuse my mess. I had 5 cracker cans that I have been keeping my dry goods in but I got tired of opening them to find the rice, cornmeal, flour and such. I bought one can of spray paint and a silver permanent marker. I cut the corners of an index card rounded to use as a stencil for my labels...

DH did tell me someone was selling LS trees for $50 each. I was floored. Last I knew satsuma trees were going for $35 each. I am starting my own root stock and I chose Ponderosa Lemon over trifoliate for reasons of safety and practicality. The thorns are thin and only 1/2 inch long as opposed to...

Harvested Louisiana Sweet oranges for a few orders. DH has a buddy who loves to go duck hunting but apparently doesn’t love to clean or cook them so he has been keeping him up in ammo and we have a bunch of ducks to cook that’s already cleaned and now we are picking up some more. We have one...

Well Trouble is starting to get around better and is putting weight on her left leg now but still limping. She got up and scratched for a long time but she didn’t want to go in the backyard…only the front. The back yard would require going down a few steps and the front has a long ramp instead...

I have to keep one dog tied when outside but Trouble can’t go far as it stands. We been treating it topically. Tell you the truth I think she is badly bruised and might be limping around for a while. I’m starting to think maybe a warm compress might feel good. DH told me he saw little holes on...

Not today but in the past week I have been bombarded with fruit from commodities and the Catholic Community Center from neighbors who collect their food but don’t necessarily use it all so I suddenly had plums, peaches that were kissed by the cold and maybe had a brownish tinge to the flesh and...

Oh yeah!! Plenty. I just can’t see the injury looking quite like that. Also…just like snakes, gators kinda slow down in winter.

I just created a post on the animal section of the website. We recently lost a rescued dog and at the same time we noticed an injury on Trouble’s hind leg. They were all let out to potty together and we didn’t get them all back. Missy was found dead on the highway and Trouble has little holes in...

History: over the past six or seven years trouble has been bitten by no less than seven snakes. I don’t know what these injuries are, but she is limping badly although she is getting around. Also, a few days ago, we lost a small dog who was known to dash away if given a chance. She was found...

Thanks 🙏🏾 for the information. I wish I had asked earlier. I ordered him Seton because I thought him and his mom needed to calm down.

Things didn’t work out well for my grandnephew at school and he needs to be homeschooled. He has been home at least a week now and my niece hasn’t found a free homeschool program for him but I think she really needs something spiritual because she broke down today and told me she can’t do it...

Tuesday I saw my oncologist and I have no new growth. That’s the closest thing I can come to hearing the word ‘remission’. Apparently my doctor doesn’t like that word. 🤷‍♀️. I threw out one shout out for private orders for citrus and everyone went totally nuts. I ended up with orders totaling...

Yesterday I got my results. No new growth. The only thing is my white blood cells are low. But I forgot to take my medicine in the morning and I took it early afternoon and tried to do a few things and harvested but I was hurting. I only harvested 7 sacks and delivered them for sale and got my...

It’s way too early for me to just be awake for no reason. Actually I have been awoke for an hour but the good news is I don’t have any dirty dishes, all the food is picked up and the coffee pot only has to be turned on. It would probably be best if I bring my niece to church today. Her boys...
