    What did you do in your garden today?

    Yeah well years later I got married to my ex and he, his dad and brothers used to hunt rabbits with dogs together and my FIL said that when he was young it used to take more rabbits to feed a family but they are bigger now. I don’t know if they believed me when I told them what had happened to...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Well I try to be brief and not write a short story. So whatever Daddy went through inspired him to trap the rabbits because he couldn’t always be in Grandpa’s cornfield. He then made a coop for the rabbits and as he trapped them he determined the sex immediately and dispatched the bucks. He kept...

    Finances, Stock Market, Money Market, Mutual Funds, Investments, Savings, etc.

    I do look at a few stocks and make investments as I am able. I also look at the big picture and peoples fears and concerns. Do in 2016 Hillary was definitely gonna win the presidency. I wasn’t voting for her but no one had Trump winning. So I was like….people are gonna be buying guns and ammo...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I honestly try to not get tin cans at all and just can stuff myself. Like I don’t buy my pasta sauce in cans but jars so I can reuse them but if I really want to do something I might make an exception. I do miss having a Martin house.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Apparently rabbits must be attracted to cornstalks a lot. It’s one of my first memories coming home from Australia and Daddy put the bulleye on his head and went to the cornfield with a shotgun because Grandpa complained about the rabbits. I can tell y’all what happened after that but it’s...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    We invested a lot of time and money in something that just rotted. We did get some use of it a few years though. It’s just I wonder if I couldn’t do something with 15 ounce cans fastened together somehow and have the perfect size holes cut out and sanded and maybe cover it with cool seal for...

    Bresse chicken

    In my younger years I tried to play with the genetics and cross the Cornish with the White Rock and see what I can create from the cross but I didn’t get the fast meat I was hoping for. I don’t care for the greed and the waste of food that the Cornish Cross seems to have but I do like the meat...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I really think the whole garden is planted but I did buy a sack of wild bird seeds. I would like to plant some milo in a section and see what we can get out of it and a bunch of sunflowers to help keep the bugs away from the vegetables. I gotta confess I got that idea from DH. I can get a whole...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I used to have a birdhouse for Martins. I liked to watch them fly around in the afternoon. It was disappointing when we had to change out the house. The first one was wooden but it rotted out. The next one was sheet metal which we thought we were being smart but I don’t think the birds cared for...

    Are we living our dream?

    DH is now in a normal rhythm and taking a nap and I am probably about to join him because we had to get up so early. I dropped off DD and my application before coming home. DON asked if I can orientate Wednesday. Just a little rest and I will spread some love around various farms. I am in...

    Are we living our dream?

    I gave up waiting for the nearest nursing home to call me. I will return to my previous facility in the city but only part-time. It’s great to know people who will take you on no matter what…and my daughter. So seeing as I have to start from scratch with all new work clothes I will just sew a...

    Are we living our dream?

    I guess it’s time to cut out a gi. I hope it’s an easy pattern. Now I have all my junk in DH’s old bedroom. He wants me to organize the shelves in the pantry. Maybe that won’t take too long 🤷‍♀️ I just got a missed call and I tried to return the call but the guy hung up on me instead of just...

    Are we living our dream?

    So yesterday was HDD’s birthday but we going to the city tonight because we have reservations at an Italian restaurant they all fell in love with. Me too actually. It’s great. And today is middle child’s birthday and she wanted garden plants so I bought her $10 worth, plus the old man threw in a...

    Are we living our dream?

    Well I didn’t get the position I interviewed for and I called my old work place on a pontoon bridge and my old coworker told me first thing…go put an application but I am already up for both new tender positions which came open yesterday. But I don’t think I will wait for them. I am tired of my...

    Are we living our dream?

    Good morning. So gas prices are the big talk and all. I have been spending more time with my younger sister who sadly isn’t in good health. She doesn’t drive and I have been bringing her to Mass and to the grocery store. DH sends her fish. So Monday I was going up the bayou because I heard of an...

    Broody hen

    I only like to be able to manage a broody by herself for several reasons. I don’t trust myself to remember to pick her up and remove all the eggs every afternoon for one thing and not all hens will accept me doing that the same way. Some will peck and start fighting. Then you might get a helper...

    Dog acceptance

    The pup and Trouble rough play and I guess they friends cuz no blood and tales wagging but I told the family what the suggestions from everyone point to and no possible contact when we are away. Only time it sounds like a threat is during feeding if Trouble really feels a snack is for her only...

    Dog acceptance

    My youngest DD has a puppy and we watch Trouble interact with the pup. It’s kinda funny sometimes when it looks like Trouble just slapped her across the room but we make sure she doesn’t get crazy. But we never left them alone together. Now I don’t guess we ever should

    Dog acceptance

    Trouble wasn’t adopted as an adult. She was a puppy when DH got her. I didn’t meet her until she was 3 years old. Basically I am currently just waiting for a few adult dogs to live out the rest of their days. It’s not exactly me who accepted them all. Some will leave with certain DD’s if and...
