I had a beloved pet…a Dachshund mix but she looked pure. Her name is Duchess. Trouble nearly killed her but fortunately we stopped her before too much damage. She needed to stay overnight at the clinic for IVs and had to be stitched together. She recuperated but she was always afraid of thunder...

Trouble was raised on a farm and there was a time DH could tell her to catch him a drake and she knew what he wanted. Or if she was told to fetch up a rooster she wouldn’t return with a hen…it was a rooster. He would tell her to catch a rabbit and she would hunt them down and return with...

Okay so DH already had a dog before we got married 4 years ago….Trouble is an 8 year old Pit Bull. I had a few dogs but Trouble seriously hurt one so she literally had her own house until Ida ripped my house apart. My oldest daughter wants me to take my dogs back. A Boxer that belongs to my...

DH showed up and presented me with a ‘bouquet.’ He claims the field is full of wild onions and he wanted to give me this before they flower and get tough.

Someone may have trapped them. All our escapees seem to be thriving just fine until dogs, cats or other predators show up and snatched them up. The thing about pellets are the convenience and really they still very cheap meat when managed properly. But apparently there are people out there who...

DH’s farm ran out of pellets yesterday and I still had 6 rabbits left to feed so they all got a chunk of Timmothy hay and some plantain. I guess I can bring them pellets if Paul can steal from Peter. But seriously want to feed weeds all around.

DH spent a lot of time in the garden the past several days. I planted spaghetti squash seeds on a row he indicated would be good. Yesterday he asked me to bring out the okra, green beans and the other squash seeds but I also brought out the English peas. Down here there is a saying that you only...

DD got a call from our family charity case…..troubled teen and new adult who was taken from her parents by her godmother to try to protect and she went wild regardless. She wanted a place for her and her boyfriend to stay. I was opposed but DH allowed it. I insisted on separate sleeping...

It’s frustrating to keep up with my son’s moods right now.

Late start today. DH is already in the garden planting okra, green beans and squash seeds. Maybe I will join him. Maybe I will tackle this mess. I really want a sewing room and DD5 is here. She needs to be studying though. Much of Louisiana is partying as I stay in my own little world. So before...

I am an Army Mom. I am in contact with other Army Moms and their children are not all doing well. Can I just ask everyone reading this to keep your military families under y’all wings? Check on them often. I might start tackling everything soon just to cope. I don’t yet have a deployment in...

I have heard about foraging for rabbits. I think I might have had a book about it before the storm. So today I was looking around at videos and I was wondering if anyone here touched on it. I might order a book or just make a comprehensive list of edible stuff I can forage. Somehow DH was...

This piece belonged to my great- grandmother and my dad shrunk the top for my grandmother who used it in her store for years. I am thinking about sanding it down and then applying tongue oil or something to give it a new finish. I guess I am doing okay. I have coffee in front of me, a list...

Yes!!!! My boy is getting all his equipment ready in case he needs to do his thing. Today he was doing something I ordinarily wouldn’t think he could do and I questioned him about that…. I mean his job is blowing stuff up. Why was he working on a truck? He told me the equipment he needs to blow...

Yeah so …..Army Mom suddenly freaking cleaning everything!!! Omg!!

I have brought Sis to the Dollar Tree at least 3 times in one week now. She wanted to go yesterday and I really didn’t need to but she swore the asparagus and mushrooms in the glass jars were the best she ever ate and so I told DH I really didn’t need anything but I could always grab a few of...

It’s hairy. Also DH says it gets some little red flowers but I know where he found it and I will keep my eyes open. Plant identification is something I would want to improve upon actually. My studies didn’t pay as close attention to this as I would have liked.

Me first. DH threw this at me. It looks very similar to parsley but the smell is off. What do y’all think it is?

I know one thing for sure…. I won’t be running out of toilet paper this year. It took a while to run out of dog food but we finally did need to buy more. If I go to work on the bridge I think I will get a tiny crockpot to bring food to cook there. Gotta get it first.

Since the hurricane I have been trying to cook bean soup with pasta at least once a week. I can’t believe how much canned beans and pasta I now have stock piled. I should probably think of something to do with the peanut butter. I have a feeling I will be eating it past the expiration date. I...
