I keep looking, every time I am in a store that usually carries canning stuff. No lids, but we are getting cases of jars with lids in the stores now. I have some lids left, but no nearly enough for what I want to put up this year. Guess I have to keep looking.

The broiler chicks came in at 11:30 am. Had to run to town and pick them up. Didn't have time to get the brooder all set up like I wanted, so I threw together a quick, temp brooder in a plastic bin. They have warmth, food and water - they are happy little chicks. Since I will have a couple of...

My outfit was about the same level of dressiness as the interviewer - except I didn't wear 3" heels, lol. Interview went well, I did ask some good questions about the job and the company. I walked out every excited but am cooling off about the job pretty quick. Hard to accept a position that...

Welcome to SS! Where about are you located? Alaska, Hawaii, Texas, Australia? Inquiring mind wants to know ... I'm from Northeastern Wisconsin, and proud of it. I had a friend who had a farmstead surrounded by urban metropolis. Stores on the north side of her, city park (huge ice rink...

I think it means that she loves you. Now get out there and build fence, lol.

@baymule How do you store the feed, in plastic buckets, metal garbage cans or something else?

Happy Easter/happy birthday. Glad that is past. Why is it that when you have something you need to get done, something important comes up at the same time. Forgot my phone at Mom & Dads on Easter Sunday, so I drove up again on Monday to pick it up. Sister & her hubby & son were still...

Wheat berries can be stored for 30+ years if you store it properly. Mylar bag in a bucket, add an O2 absorber and seal the bag. Seal the lid on the bucket. White rice same thing.

It will be nice to hear how the new place works for brewing. Do you have everything set up- shelves built, etc?

The amount of mis-information out there on the web is staggering. no more common sence. Thanks to the Federal government, all TV stations went digital. Guess what, digital won't travel as far as analog so all the people that lived out on the fringe of getting the local stations no longer get...

My breast cancer was caught by the tech reading my annual mammogram. Caught at Stage 1B. I had surgery to remove the cancer tumor and radiation therapy on that breast. No chemo. I am cancer free and taking estrogen inhibitors to help prevent it from coming back. My mom died from breast...

Lost my mom to breast cancer when I was 10. My sister had stage 3 breast cancer about 9 years ago. I had stage 1 breast cancer 2 years ago - the same type as my sister. She opted for a double mastectomy - luckliy I only had to have radiation, but no Chemo. My oncologist was not happy that I...

I have been moving wild asparagus plants from areas that are going to be disturbed to my garden area. So far so good. Luckily we have a tractor with a backhoe, those asparagus plants grow deep...

Yah, I was worried about the bite, he got me really good through the gloves. I cut off all the loose skin, rinsed with out with warm water for about 2 minutes and then dried it off. I poured some hydrogen peroxide on it and let it foam for a while. Then I rinsed it off and dried it again...

Got my hands on the little Mini who has taken up residence in our barn. I thought the leather gloves would be enough - nope, he bit my finger but good! lol Little snot thinks he can live in my barn and eat cat food. He wiggled out of my grip - because I had the thick leather welding gloves...

One of my Sapphire Gems had the spikey feathers on its head.

Interesting that your hen is crowing now and the rooster is challenging her. I searched and found a blog that states almost 1 in 10,000 hens will spontaneously sex change - mostly due to damage to the primary ovary. If that is the case, I wonder if human estrogen will work for a chicken? It...

You butchered her for laying eggs ?!?! 😲 Sorry, that was my first reaction to your post. I realize that is probably an extra tom. Nice looking carcass. How big is it?

Thank you, @Lazy Gardener . I hated the job I had, but it is still hard to lose it. I would have much preferred to walk into the boss's office and say "I quit". Or even better, take this job and shove it.

I love the look of that church, so pretty. I remember how deep the snow drifts would get out in Wyoming. A friend showed me pictures of him snowshoeing up the road to the pass to measure how deep the snow was. It was 15 feet deep. At the parking lot, he found the very top of the vent pipe...
