I canned 7 quarts of green beans today & put 1 quart in the freezer. I've got 9 pints of hamburger cooling in the canner now. It's been a long day.

We got some much needed ran this morning. Right at 1 inch. My garden was happy. Tied up my tomatoes today. Noticed a bunch of babies on the vines. I can't wait for a fresh tomato. Pulled a few more onions that had fallen over. My onions did really well this year. I have a few going to seed...

I was at Atwoods last week. They had a few chicks, but not as many as they usually have. I didn't look to see what kinds or price. I was afraid to get too close since they might have what I like. There's a bunch of chicks on our local fb poultry pages. They all seem to sell pretty fast.

Sure did! I love to read. That's BlueBell. The pic was taken a few years ago. She's pushing 14/15 now. She's almost deaf/blind, but she can still spot those buzzards & hawks flying over head. She'll take off running & brarking when she sees them. She's been such a good girl, we'll miss her...

Just finished reading your thread LG. I enjoyed it very much!

Fresh caught catfish, fried, with home canned potatoes.

@baymule - How's the chicken coop going? Love the color!

Hey FEM :) I'm in East Texas. About an hour or so southeast from baymule. No sunburn here Bee. Rain, rain & rain.

Yep. Like Bay said. :) Looks like we have quite a bit more in store for us tonight. It's also been on the cold side this past week. Lows in the 40's here.
