    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I have a metal one too with a bottle opener on one side and a can opener on the other. This is what we used before pop-tops, twist-tops and such. If anyone can remember the kind to open Coke bottles and cans of beer. I remember because I'm old as dirt, lol. :old

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    My lids are often seal (actually a false seal) when I buy the jars. As long as you don't bend the lid or gouge the rubber it should work. An update on my canned plums. My sons think I am the bestest mom in the whole wide world when I bake plum cobblers with the canned plums.

    A new journey into homesteading "pic heavy"

    There use to be a raccoon that would poop on our deck furniture every night until we got a dog. After that we saw it one time in a tree overlooking the deck watching us but that was that.

    Getting acclimated to country

    I wish I had cat(s). Maybe we wouldn't be overrun by pack rats, rats, mice and rat snakes. My little Chihuahua wakes me up licking me at night when she needs to go out. She gets excited over the rodents but they stay out of her way.

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    Oh my goodness. I can't believe how quick that went. I've read about how to do it but never seen it done.

    Broodies on the Homestead

    Such a shame. Maybe you can let someone with an incubator have the eggs. I know it's not the right time for you now with your house hunting.

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    My son did this video last year of our velociraptors. I don't have quite so many now but I still loves my yardbirds.

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    I've seen pretty reasonable prices around here for AGH's.

    Broodies on the Homestead

    I think something killed them. I don't know what. It might have been another chicken.

    Broodies on the Homestead

    Two of our little fuzzy butts are dead and one missing. We are down to two now. What a big disappointment!

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    AGH is what I would like to have. If I ever get my pen fixed I may get some. DH wants some pigs but of course being a city boy he has no idea what a commitment they are. I am so careful to lock up the yardbirds every night and I worry about something getting pigs if I couldn't lock them up at...

    Broodies on the Homestead

    My two broodies fights all the other hens but when you see them pecking their babies you understand. One hen grabbed a little chick by the neck and was running off with it. I 'took the boot' to her to drop it which she did and then her and Mama broodie started to spar. The other hens will fight...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    This is a very good article on 'taint'. I've always been able to smell and taste it but I never realized that not everyone has this ability. Most of the time when I've tasted it, it was in bacon which is practically all fat. Interesting indeed!:caf I'll be watching for more on this subject.

    Getting acclimated to country

    We all have family drama. My family considers me the black sheep. They tell me if would just have a joint (or more) everyday I wouldn't be nearly so tightly wound (?).

    A new journey into homesteading "pic heavy"

    :ya I love having a strainer. The kiddos (4 boys remember) tore my old aluminum one up so I cheaped out and bought a plastic one. It was so flimsy and small. This year I got a big stainless steel one and threatened the Wildbunch's lives if this one got tore up.
